Suite 16 at The Island City House was a magical experience for our 30th wedding anniversary! After a long day of travel, the cozy mattress and luxurious bedding created the perfect sleep environment. The grounds are gorgeous and we loved the private porch for morning coffee and evening cocktails. We had lunch at the Waterfront Brewery and dinner at Fogarty’s and the Flying Monkeys Saloon, both within walking distance. We also appreciated the good host communication with excellent instructions about parking. Our stay was too short to enjoy all the amenities but we can’t wait to come back another time!
Gorgeous property grounds.
Perfect spot for morning coffee.
