The location and common areas are desirable. Beds are comfortable.
Pros:

The location is great! Since the property is similar to a bed and breakfast setup, it offers an easy opportunity to socialize with others staying on the property. Coffee and tea is provided.

Cons:

Overall my stay was memorable. An enhancement suggestion would be to increase sweetener offerings plus include morning and evening snacks ( i.e. pastries, fruit, yogurt, popcorn, etc.). Another would be to add additional hooks and/or shelves to the bathroom.

A mystical magical inn!
Pros:

Amazing opportunity to stay in a historic gingerbread house right next to the ocean and Oak Bluffs. The owner Henry is very nice and accommodating. They offered to hold onto our luggage after check out

Cons:

I have a personal preference for firm beds- the bed was soft but that’s hardly a complaint and wouldn’t stop me from staying again.

Pros:

I liked the location and the peace and quiet. I also liked the house keeper and staff. They were nice and friendly.

Cons:

I didn't like how small my room and bathroom were. I didn't like the fact that I didn't even have a t.v. in my room. I don't like the fact that I paid so much money and didn't have a TV and couldn't even stand straight to use the bathroom.

Pros:

The view from my balcony. I loved it all! Great location! Coffee in the morning already to go. That’s a plus

Cons:

Wish I had a refrigerator in room but they did have one down stairs that we could use and we did

A huge amount of money for the smallest room I’ve ever stayed in. Said 16m but it was not.
Pros:

The location was great. Staff very friendly.

Cons:

The room we stayed in was minuscule. Not enough room to swing a cat. Had to put cases on the floor but then couldn’t open the door. Nowhere for clothes. If you wanted to leave, cases had to go on the bed.
