Sterling Point ending explained: do Annie and Ramona sell the island?

In the final moments of the series, Annie and Ramona reach a definitive conclusion regarding the island of Sterling Point. Ultimately, they decide against selling the property. Instead, the sisters choose to effectively swap lives: Ramona relocates to New York, while Annie decides to remain on the island.

This pivotal decision follows a major revelation for Ramona, who discovers that Steven—not Joe—is her biological father. After noticing that she and Steven share the same form of colourblindness, she confirms the truth through a secret DNA test. While Annie initially encourages Ramona to stay so they can build the family life they both lacked, Ramona ultimately chooses a different path. The final scene depicts Ramona waking up in Annie’s New York bedroom, looking out at the Manhattan skyline, while Annie is shown finding peace in the lake at Sterling Point.
