8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at your Vrbo! It was a long walk from the ferry to the Vrbo with luggage. The home was clean and had everything we needed. Good location near the grocery store, but far from restaurants. Wanted to rent bikes, but was closed and didn't open until the next day at 10am and we had to check out at 11:00am.. Suggest a stay of 2 nights. Tried to contact host to check if we could either extend our check out or extend our stay, but host never replied back. Beautiful island and friendly residents.
