Best place to stay on the island. The property is wonderful and the hosts helped us more than they could possibly know with our trip and all the people we had staying there.

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

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.
