An amazing stay at Pa Willie’s. As someone who once lived in Hope Town it was amazing to stay at a local property. Perfect location in town. Check in process was super simple and Lory was really helpful. The kitchen is fully equipped (though we went out for dinner every night). If you’re looking for a rental with local charm in the center of town just steps away from the beach, then you will love staying here. We highly recommend that you do and can’t wait to come back next year.

Charming and Comfy

Our stay at this cottage was wonderful. We love Hopetown and have visited often, but this was the first time we've stayed right in town. It was really fun and the convenience was perfect for our group of four senior citizens.

Hope Town and Pa Willie’s was even better than we had hoped. The cottage is well equipped for a family of 4. Perfect location for beach and snorkel. Our boat and cart rentals were right across the street each day so close to the cottage.

Perfect Easy Getaway

Pa Willie’s is perfectly situated in Hopetown. We enjoyed long walks every day and visiting our favorite spots by golf cart and boat, which was especially easy with the property’s dock and cart parking. We had everything we needed for our stay and everything was in working order. The bed was very comfortable and the house was very clean.

Great stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We’re a family that keeps coming back to Hopetown and this was the best place to stayed based on our family needs. The beach was a quick walk away for the kids and so was the playground. The kitchen was well stocked with what was needed to cook. Great place overall.

70th Birthday Weekend Celebration

Pa Willie's is just as it is described. It is not fancy by any means, but well equipped, clean and the very best location. A boat dock just steps away. Lory was wonderful to communicate with - we did have a power outage and her response was almost immediate and we were good to go in no time. Would stay there again and hope to!!!

Simple Pleasures

We stayed at this classic settlement home with a party of 4 adults. It was comfortable and convenient. We could sit on the porch to read or we could explore Hope Town and the north end on foot. A beautiful beach was steps away. The house provided a relaxing week after a prior chaotic week stay with family.
