A sanctuary

The room was clean and very cute. The host was very responsive and helpful and made me feel welcome. This place was better than I expected and featured a beautiful bathroom and garden area that was like a little sanctuary. Highly recommend.

Nice little place

We didn’t spend too much time in the unit—mostly used it as a home base and place to sleep, but it was excellent for our purpose. Clean and well stocked, and the directions/instructions were clear. Nice area, lots of hiking and things to see nearby (short drives). The beach is harder to get to than a quick glance at the map might indicate, but it’s a nice walk. Check out Mr Ed’s Bakery

East Coast lodging

Everything was very modern and clean. It would be nice if there was a kitchen sink or basin in which to wash our dishes. A simple coffee machine would work better than a Keurig machine as there was only one pod per day and we enjoy a few cups of coffee throughout the day. A few extra utensils would also be handy as we like to cook our meals.

Quiet neighborhood Studio

Wonderful location away from the main towns but easily accessible to main highways that get to everywhere. Clean, quiet. Small so basically for either one person or a couple who likes to be close. It was just what we needed. A quiet place to go to after an active day of exploring the island. Owner very responsive to questions.

There is no Oceanview from unit, it is a room on the back of a garage with a garden view. The amenities are overstated. No kitchen, just a microwave, small fridge, coffee maker. Toaster. Only sink for food prep is the bathroom sink. Owner states hot plate and skillet available but there is no space to cook. Bed is a double shoved against a wall, meaning one person has to crawl over the other to get in and out. Had to put our luggage in the bathroom as no room in bedroom for luggage. No AC, and visiting in Dec, with windows open and 3 fans running, room was overly warm and stuffy. Much too small for our 6' bodies, perhaps okay for hobbits
