As a byproduct of my profession, I tend to question the validity of written reviews and pictures so it's with great pleasure that we discovered that not only are the pictures of this property and other renters' reviews valid but they may even be understated, if that's possible! This property and the owners allow you to feel the comforts of home while being away from home and enjoying time on the island.
We (a friend, her dog, and I) were heading to the island for a relaxing long weekend and the beauty of this house's construction/floor plan, large backyard, acceptance of a dog, and owner's property description spoke to us and we were not disappointed. Prior to our trip, the owners provided an informative write-up of the house, the neighboring area and other key island sites (best place for lobster rolls!). The caretaker met us at the house a short time after our arrival to give a tour of the house and to stress he was only a phone call away if we had any questions or encountered any problems.
Since this was a long weekend of relaxation and cooking wasn't permitted, we could only admire the chef's kitchen that I'm sure others will enjoy cooking in. The linens and towels were of high quality and the furniture was very comfortable. Other features that made us feel at home included the family sharing their photo album of the home's construction, having an extensive book collection for all ages and interests, and maintaining a drawer of dog items.
As noted in the property's description and somewhat being familiar with the island, this property is in the middle of the island and, therefore, is a short-drive from anywhere you wish to go. If you're travelling with children, they won't have a chance to say "are we there yet" because you get to most places in 10-15 minutes! ; )
I highly recommend this property to all potential renters that are seeking a quality location to reside while visiting the island. It's obvious the owners take pride in their home and want to ensure that all visitors have a wonderful stay. Mission accomplished for our visit! We've already booked a return visit for later this year.
