Exterior
The large yard is enclosed by a stone wall to keep out curious cows and donkeys who enjoy dining on the periwinkles and other plants. The large mural on the end of the house was painted by a former owner, an artist, who also created the splashback in the kitchen.

Bedrooms
The queen-sized bed in the master bedroom has a comfortable, pillowtop mattress, cross ventilation, and ceiling fan. The second bedroom has two twin beds.

Bath
The bathroom is uniquely "island," with a coral bench in the shower and colorful sea motif tiles.

Great Room
The couch converts to a queen size sofa bed and the dining table has leaves on either end to seat 6 comfortably. The fans and windows, along with the 3-foot thick walls, usually keep this room cool year round.

Kitchen
The tiny kitchen is a marvel of compact, modern convenience. You can stand in one place and move the laundry from washer to dryer, get a glass of ice from the refrigerator, rinse out your glass in the sink, and turn on the coffeemaker or microwave. There are dishes, glasses, silverware, pots, pans and utensils enough to entertain a crowd if you want, and the gas grill on the patio keeps the heat out of the kitchen. The unique splashback behind the sink is created from fragments of antique pottery and beachcombing finds.

Deck/Garage
The deck has chaises, chairs and a table so you can eat up here and enjoy the view. Since it is the highest point in the island, you can truly be on top on the world!

View From Deck
Open on four sides, the deck offers views of the sunset (watch for the fabled "green flash" just as the sun slides into the ocean) and sunrise. The western view is of the placid sea, while the eastern one a more rugged coast and rougher waters. The bird sanctuary and tidal flats are great for beachcombing. The deck is also fine for whale watching. Bring binoculars!
