Island House Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I know this may not be a popular opinion but, the island house was far superior to another Grander Hotel by far. The porch was so private and the view of the harbor spectacular! The restaurant at the hotel was top notch. Excellent food and service. Finally, the location was amazing. A short, easy flat walk to town made it the perfect stay. Highly recommend!"
