Great location-great spot for families with teens

Great location within walking distance of ferry dock and downtown shops. Property was clean, spacious and really comfortable for our family with two adult kids on a trip with parents—we all had our own space! Lots of stocked book shelves and yard games. Fire pit was a fun evening gathering spot. The only downside was the late-night noise from the apartments across the street. Overall a great stay—would definitely recommend.

Charm and character

The Bunkhouse was clean, comfortable and full of character and charm. It served our needs well. zi would offer two suggestions to the Owner/Host. 1. The recessed landing at the top of the stairs is dangerous, especially at night. It should be the same level as the hall and flooring leading into the bathroom. 2. The main level bath and commode need floor work too. I felt that a seat belt was almost needed to use the commode, due to the slanting of the floor and toilet! We managed, but it should be addressed.

Beautiful bunk house

The bunkhouse was beautiful and clean. Downstairs bed was very comfortable. The queen bed upstairs felt like it was going to fall apart! The king bed was very comfortable also. I would definitely recommend it.

House was as described. Beds comfortable. Only issues to note is the gas grill was not operable or clean and the grass was not mowed by fire pit. Did appreciate that there was a good amount of wood available for fires and outdoor seating. There was a motel/apartments across the street with people outside late at night but they were quiet and was never an issue. Close walking distance to shops and the ferry. Would stay again if in the area.

Annual vacay with high school friends

Property was nice, everyone liked the size and location, however there were small things that need fixing. Chair in small bedroom wicker chair upstairs a had indentation which, blind in upstairs bathroom is broke on the bottom, one of the lights by the parking pad is broke, and the stove hood has a piece drooping. I sent picts to our contact thru a text but did not hear back. Also there is a light bulb out on the stove hood and upstairs bathroom. We loved the fire Pitt and wood supply.

3.5 to 4 stars

The house was comfortable, convenient, and clean but we did struggle with a few ants in the kitchen. Not an infestation but we saw a few every day. The biggest issue was the loud neighbors who partied till 3 am every night. Since the house had no AC we wanted to open the windows at night but the noise kept us up. A fan for the bedrooms would have been great. With the windows closed we couldn't hear the party. Other than that we had a great time and we appreciated the games, lawn chairs, and amenities provides. We had a great time on the Island and in the city. If you are looking for a nice, simple place to stay, bring a fan and it will be perfect.
