The website photos do not do justice to how wonderful this property is. The photo albums in the house provided us with an deeper understanding of the family history behind this home and seeing the transformation over the many decades makes you truly appreciate the love and care that went in to this property. Very spacious kitchen with spectacular views to the water just crossed the street and very close to any activity you wish to do on the island. We enjoyed our stay so much so that we’re considering coming back in the near future.

I came to the island with family for a weekend visit. We were impressed by the property the moment we walked in the door. There was plenty of space for four people. The kitchen was spacious and well appointed. We appreciated all the little thoughtful touches throughout the home and the fun, locally themed decor. And of course, the view was spectacular! Thank you for a relaxing and memorable stay,

Host was super responsive. House was beautifully decorated and well-stocked/outfitted. View was incredible and we enjoyed the big picture windows. I would definitely stay here in the summer, too, as it seems outfitted for outdoor living and kayaks, etc.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah

Host profile image
We are a group of siblings, Jim, Tami and Sarah. We are born and raised islanders. Collectively we have five kids, teenage to young adult. We grew up visiting our grandparents in this house and playing on the beach here.

Why they chose this property

This property was homesteaded by our great great grandfather in the late 1870’s. Our grandparents bought the home from Grandpa’s uncle in 1941, they raised our father and uncle in this house and continued to live here until the end of 2018.
