Great Late Summer Getaway
The property was amazing. We had EVERYTHING we could think of and the outdoor shower was amazing. Our kiddos were able to navigate the space easily and all the adults felt right at home. The access to the town beach was perfect for us and our roddlers. Can't wait to come back.

Little Gem
We loved our stay on West Island. It is a hidden gem. House was as described. It was clean and well appointed. The beach is a short trip. Kids loved the Island creamery. I would stay here again.

West island
We rented this property for 42 days. The property looks good and in a good area, however there were a lot of problems the entire stay. We were without hot water upstairs for about 2 weeks. The outside lights were taped shut by the owner so we had no outdoor lighting. The smoke detectors went off and the fix was to turn off the breaker. No working smoke detectors for over a week. Owners were notified by the town that the water would be on/off for the month of July. The water was dirty and sometimes no water at all. We should have been notified. The owner lives next door and came in the house unannounced multiple times. This was a very stressful stay.

About the host

Hosted by Sheila May

Host profile image
I have spent my summers on the South Coast since I was kid. We have owned a home on West Island for nearly 20 years and enjoy boating, fishing, biking, sailing, swimming, walks on the beach, hiking through the reservation, golfing, you name it.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the Drew House in late 2017 and did a complete renovation of this beautiful home that was built by the original owner. We rented it out to long-term tenants the first few years, but now need it for our extended family in the off-season. It is newly-furnished and comfortable, with a great wrap-around deck and water views.
