Such a beautiful spot with amazingly kind owners. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and quiet. It's a great location close to the downtown area, school, and beach. This was my 2nd stay and I will definitely be back again!

It is a great inn located near the town, but not right in the hustle and bustle of town. The rooms were clean and well maintained. The owners are really nice and will answer any questions you have about the island.

Vic absolutely went above and beyond, helping us with masks for the wildfire smoke and with a gas run for our boat. Thank you so much!
