Alex did a great job communicating and welcoming us to our stay at Dexter house. The house is amazing and perfect for our large group. The kitchen was stocked to perfection with really everything we needed. The location was very convenient just a short walk from the ferry port. We didn’t bring a vehicle over and were easily able to walk to shops/restaurants/grocery store. We had a wonderful stay and we look forward to returning again!

This beautiful historic house was perfectly updated and incredibly spacious - our large group had plenty of room to spread out and feel right at home. Alex was very communicative and flexible, especially when a nor’easter threatened to cancel our ferries. The house had everything we needed and more, and the location couldn’t be better. Highly recommend!
