WILLIAM, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I was between this hotel and a few others and I'm so happy that I chose Island House! The location can't be beat. It's just around the corner from Main Street and right across the street from the marina. The food options on site were excellent. We even were able to rent bikes right out front which was super convenient. If we go back to the island, we will definitely be repeat guests!
Howes, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Hotel was a bit dated and rooms were small. We had a decent stay but Staff was rude and the pool wasn’t regulated. They had a lot
