Off season was gorgeous and quiet and the weather and temperature were surprisingly comfortable for hiking. The availability for shopping was nonexisting which was ok for us but there were not many dining choices open on the islandbut we enjoyed what was avaiable. They had a nice continential breakfast and wine and cheese at the inn which we enjoyed. Gluten free breakfast choices were available for choosing which was much appreciated.

I love overlooking the water. The decks are really spacious with great views. The people working there are some of the warmest, nicest people I've ever met.The owner, Rita Draper is always checking in with residents to ask how they're enjoying their stay. Lovely people, lovely place. Nothing bad to say!

Property spectacular, room sub-par.
The ceiling in our room was hard to look at. It looked more like employee housing. But we love the property overall, and the bed and bedding were very comfortable.
