I could not recommend this place any more highly. The property is delightful. The hosts went way above and beyond to make our trip the best it could be and the rates are very reasonable. I would not stay anywhere else on the Island

The room was spectacular! Clean, comfy, quiet, and nicely decorated. There were also special touches such as robes and slippers, eye masks and ear plugs (which we didn't need) for sleeping, plenty of coffee and hot chocolate. The staff was informative and helpful with great ideas of things to do and restaurant ideas. It was a good location, not to far from town to walk (about a mile). I would definitely stay here again.

Everything was delightful. I was received most graciously out on the road because I could not find the place. The room was extremely pleasant with those touches that make it feel really cozy like a white robe and slippers. I had not told them that stairs were difficult for me so they had me on the third floor, but when I requested a first floor unit, they immediately switched me down without any hassle.
