Wonderful staff -- Carol, Maxine -- who brought excellence to everything, from start to finish, of our stay at Island Inn; they were both totally focused on customer-service & care, attentive, professional. Anja -- at checkout --was gracious & helpful. We LOVED our beautiful cottage and plan to return many times. We were able to easily walk into Oak Bluffs to the town green and then to the heart of the town for dining, shopping, strolling, simply savoring the ocean & charming harbors, homes, lighthouses, and beauty of nature. Yet we were far enough away from the bustle of town life to experience quiet and serenity, as well. Perfect location for us -- we biked, walked miles, and then hung out on our porch deck in the morning while sipping our coffee and then in the evening while sipping ambrosia. A wonderful surprise were the barn swallows in the eaves of the roof deck. What a delightful addition to our lovely cottage!
