We loved our stay at this luxury home, just minutes from town. I'd book it again in a heartbeat. The house was spotless, the bedding and towels were high-end. The back patio was our favorite place to start the morning with coffee, catch up on work, read a book, relax after a long bike ride, or enjoy a glass of wine under the stars at night. The host was very clear with his communication. I could tell he really wanted us to enjoy our stay. The owners live and work on the island. They were on property, in a finished basement with a separate entry, but we never saw or heard them. It was very private.The keyless entry with a digital keypad was easy to use. It was very convenient to have access to four Trek bikes to explore. The house has a remarkable "wow" factor. It was meticulous, gorgeous, and comfortable. It was an ideal place for a work retreat and a family birthday. We did both over our stay. The house is big with good living space a gorgeous kitchen and five bedrooms. We had a small group, so the nightly cost plus fees was pricey for us (but worth it). It's perfect for a larger family gathering, or several couples on a getaway. We biked all over the island, but could also walk downtown -- a perfect location. The backyard feels like a retreat of its own, with a view of the Governor's Mansion and Fort. Thank you Drew and Shannon for opening up your gem of a home to us. We hope our journey brings us back. You deserve the best guests. I hope they find you!
