Overall impression is what I expected. Large older home with a couple other rentals within. We had a wonderful time during our stay. The rental was a modest unit with dated furnishings and attributes.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
The location is unbeatable! Everything is within walking distance. The bedrooms and bath are comfortable as well as clean. We would definitely stay here again. If you’re working remotely, the WiFi does not consistently support Zoom calls. However, the TMOBILE cell signal was excellent so using a phone as a hotspot works great.

Reviewer Comments:
Small and cozy with everything needed for a comfortable stay for up to 4 guests! The 2 bedrooms with queen beds had just enough space to settle into. The bathroom had all the basics, plus great water pressure. The galley kitchen in the center of the house adds a little history and character to the stay. And the dining/family room with the big glass window + the community front porch were great for relaxing/winding down and enjoying the island weather. Walking distance to pretty much everything in town.

Reviewer Comments:
Historical Victorians come with many qualities; some charming and not so charming. Loved the location to town; not so much the creaky floors( beware if you’re downstairs-you’ll hear a pin drop). Door knobs also-loud. Bring earplugs and you’ll be fine. Well equipped and comfortable beds.
