“Island House Hotel charmed me with its porch ambience and dual dining experiences, especially the 1852 restaurant; the BBQ spot adds a fun, casual contrast. Its location offers easy access to the town's attractions, though some might find the island's activities limited. It's a solid choice if you value location and unique dining.”
