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!

The property was in relatively good shape. Rooms are small, and view from room was not interesting. However, we did not go there to spend time in the hotel room. The hotel is in a great location. Convenient to walking from ferry and the shops downtown. We ate breakfast at 1892 and dinner one night at Ice House BBQ on site. Both were great. The front porch and lawn offer great view of the marina and harbor.

We needed a quick weekend trip to visit the island and we stayed at the Island House Hotel. The staff were extremely helpful and professional they kept our devices while we explored the island before our check-in time. The ferry took our bags straight to the hotel so we didn't have to take them with us and after we checked in they brought them up to our room. The hotel was very clean and the body wash smelled so good that we are purchasing it for our home. The rooms are small but I can see why. Breakfast was not free but the service was great, Next time we will just have breakfast off the property. We loved it and would stay here again, it's in a perfect location. Not in the middle of Main Street chaos but close enough that you can sit and watch.
