But rooms are where you'll really start enjoying your stay. All of deluxe rooms have Jacuzzi tubs; one has its own hot-tub. Most of rooms have balconies, and some have water views. All were furnished with king-size beds and kitchenettes (for less deluxe rooms, hosts have put in shared kitchenettes so that all guests have access to same amenities). My room was spacious and quiet with a small desk and a huge bed. I had a shared bathroom, but I never encountered anyone else using it, so it felt private. And you have high-speed Internet access -- albeit at a Mac workstation, so this poor reviewer who works for a nameless computer company in Redmond was a little baffled about how that strange operating system works.

But what makes this inn a place I would recommend is service. The host was informative without being intrusive. His recommendations for restaurants and places to stock up for a kayaking trip were very helpful. Better yet, day I arrived there was an island-wide, planned power outage, so host provided us each with flashlights. Since I had to be up early, he even leant me a battery-operated alarm clock.
