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!

We loved our stay! Perfect location, pretty hotel, hot tub was very nice, front gardens with chairs and fire pits to use in the evening were a nice touch. We ate at 1852 Grill and the Ice House BBQ and the food was great as was the atmosphere! Perfect weekend getaway. On the edge of town so it was quiet but still close to walk to Main Street activities.
