About the host
Hosted by Francis Wihbey
I purchased the house as a second home. I will eventually move here full time, in the mean time I rent it out on occasion to help with the expenses. I classify the house as my personal residence, but yet like to offer it to others to enjoy on their vacation. As you can tell it is really not a rental property, but i have satisfaction in having other people enjoy the views and relaxation time.
Why they chose this property
I purchased this vacation home to eventually retire to. I use it for a retreat and to vacation.The views are breathtaking over looking the thimble islands as well.

The linens and towels are of high quality. Relax in a tranquil retreat to unwind and reconnect, In the setting of understated elegance in the hospitality of a bygone era.
