In the Press
"Splashed with sunlight and local artwork, the barefoot-chic inn is a
bit pricey by island standards, but nearly everything is included.
Borrow a free kayak or bike for a spin, indulge in the complimentary
three-course breakfast by a four-star chef (Belgian waffles, anyone?),
uncork a bottle of fine wine or take in a fiery sunset from your private
deck."
- Ty Travels- Ty Pennington at Home, Vol. 1, No, 2, 2008
