Best place to stay on the island!
My stay was amazing! Very clean and comfortable, I was treated like family and enjoyed the stories about the island. She was a great cook plus always able to get cold water or tea 24/7. I wanted to stay longer but it was time to return home. I will return in the future.

Liked: Staff & service
The room and bedding were clean. Not sure why there were six pillows on the bed. The room was advertised as Bed and Breakfast, no breakfast provided - disapointed. The owner provided two names of restaurants close by that served breakfast at my cost. The TV had limited service and no alarm clock. The parking stalls are small and shared with the owner's vehicle. . When leaving the parking stall, you need to back onto a busy street with a limited safety view. There are many trees and shrubs on both sides of the driveway that obstruct the view up to the main busy street - not safe and dangerous.

A typical BnB. Shared bathroom and a bedroom. NO air conditioning and the provided fan kept quitting plus, of course, it was not capable of cooling the air.
