Fodor's Review:

Immaculate, generously sized cabins -- all with large private porches -- have sweeping views of the water and passing ferries. The restaurant is one of the island's best, with a classy but no-fuss atmosphere and exhibition windows that face gorgeous sunsets. Islanders drive great distances for a meal here, especially when the famed Dr. Seabreeze strums away and sings island tunes on rib night (Wednesday) and steak night (Friday). The Nautical Bar, hung with authentic ships' wheels salvaged from wrecks, attracts British and American expats as well as locals. Nurse Goombay Smashes as long as you like; American co-owner "Krabby" Ken won't be bashful about letting you know when it's time to leave. A beautiful beach is a long walk down the paved road; better rent a car for your stay.
