My wife and I have been utilizing extended-stay accommodations for years now. We've generally been pleased with the quality of these accommodations. But I have to say that this was the first time we felt that we were staying in a home, rather than a house. That's because it is Scott and Ann's home, and their love and care for it shines through.
The location is perfect – a literal two minute walk to Mansion Beach, but down far enough from the public access that it is always uncrowded. It's a five minute drive or 10 minute bike to Old Town and New Harbor, and literally across the road from Andy's Way and the best clamming on the island.
The home is big enough to accommodate large families, with King, Queen and twin beds enough for 10. All of the beds are comfortable, and everyone will be able to fall asleep to the sound of waves crashing on the beach. The kitchen (and grill) have everything you need, and there are large dining tables inside and out.
Speaking of out, the wraparound deck is perfect for relaxing with a morning cup of coffee or an evening drink. Don't be surprised if deer stroll through the spacious yard (be careful coming out of the outdoor shower, you might startle each other).
My wife and her daughters, who accompany us each year, were unanimous that this was the best place we had ever stayed "on island". I agree wholeheartedly. Thanks to Scott and Ann for allowing us to share their lovely home.
