We went in October Columbus Day, pretty much the last weekend before most restaurants close for the season. We stayed in a studio, it was nice and clean, had a complete kitchen. Pool was open and heated, we enjoyed the indoor pool table. Only downside is this is a timeshare, we just rented for the weekend, we not owners. The front desk is only staffed during normal business hours. We took a late ferry, so check-in and getting keys was complicated.

We were briefly in the studio (Note no private bedriom as stayed in RCI), but were upgraded to the one bedroom. It has two full beds in the bedroom and a sleeper sofa in the living/dining/kitchen room. Plenty of storage for clothing, with 2 tall chest of drawers, 2 tall dressers and 4 short dressers, 2 of which house dual vcr/dvd playets, but have an extra shelf for smalller items. A small area in kitchen "pantry" has metal hangers. Two bathrooms, one is full, the other is a 3/4 and has a cruise ship type shower, yet is big enough for a square one. The caretakers are super nice and friendly. They also have a large room with a computer, magazines and a large collection of books, DVD's and videos to borrow.

In my opinion, its best feature may be the inn keeper, Lisa Starr, who is a former state poet laureate, a vibrant and entertaining host. I'm not giving it 5 stars, because Lisa saves her creativity for her poems, not her breakfasts, which consist of bagels, muffins, fruit and cereal, nothing to write home about.

Pro's -on the cheaper side for island prices $85 -friendly staff -free continental breakfast (doesn't matter if it's just muffins/toast and juice and coffee. It's free and for the price of the room which was 85$ seemed like a good deal).The only other place on the island off season open for breakfast was the grocery store so i was happy for these tasty treats in the am to start my day -Free wi-fi -a nice shared living room with smallish tv is you wish to check out the news. Also a closet with games if its raining and you're out of things to do - nice outside space to sit and enjoy the quiet of the island away from the main city -clean rooms with private bathrooms -felt like staying at your grandma's house :D -Use of a shared fridge to store drinks etc -beach access is about a 5 min walk down the road. The inn itself is about a 15-20 mins walk from the ferry/town. Cons -only one pillow per person which is old and THIN and barely a pillow. By the time we returned back to sleep we couldn't find the lady who helps to run the place to ask for another pillow each so we both kinda had a horrible sleep. The bed was also hard , old and squeaky. Would be have been an okay-ish sleep with better pillows -The bathrooms, while private, all have doors that are accessed from the hallway. Our hallway bathroom door didn't lock and the wood wrapped which means we didn't even bother locking our door as anyone could gain access into our room from the bathroom door. We mentioned this to inn keeper and all we got was a blank stare and an assurance that the Inn was safe and our stuff was safe. We left nothing but clothes in the room so we weren't overly worried but still seems a bit like they are setting themselves up for problems. Not everyone can be trusted. -the house is lit up at night but the road access can be a bit tricky d/t the lack of road side lighting. I actually fell trying to traverse the area at night. Bring a flashlight. if you will be out after dark. We plan on returning to BI this season and would consider staying here again tho....so all in all a nice place to stay

Negatives - not well maintained at all. Very few amenities in the room and the management has not kept up with basic repairs. Torn screens and broken windows in the rooms as well as poorly cleaned refrigerator where just a few of the problems with accommodations. Paint is chipping on the walls of the hotel and the stair cases are dingy and need upkeep. This is probably one of the more expensive hotels on the island , likely because of it's beach front location but unless they make some big changes it certainly not worth the hefty price tag!

Like others, we had. very disappointing experience with Phillips Real Estate…read more The pros: When we complained about the absolutely unacceptable rental we were put in, they moved us to another, better rental. In person, the realtors were friendly. The cons: We looked at photos of dozens of rentals online. We were looking for a small rental to sleep 2 that would accommodate our small dog. After multiple conversations with people at Phillips, we decided to rent Mohegan Cottage. When we arrived, what we found was a lovely view and a "cottage" that was mostly clean but otherwise really unsuitable for anyone other than college students. There were literally holes in the walls, bare outlets, cords ripped out of walls, broken fixtures, and rust everywhere. The "master bedroom" was separated from the main living space by a folding door with no wall. The screen door out to the deck had rips with giant pieces of duct tape over them. The mattress was hard as a rock. The insides of the cabinets were sticky with grime. (See attached photos) We called immediately and were told, "Yes, it's rustic." The next morning, we called and said it was really unacceptable. They offered to find us another place but said that any place that accepted dogs was going to be in this condition (not true), that any place at that price with a water view would be in that condition (also not true - we checked other realtors' sites), and that the owners knew it was really bad and weren't making repairs because they were going to be tearing it down in a few months. They then showed us another house. This one was nicely furnished and comfortable. It did not have a view, but that was OK. They told us there was a farm with chickens on one side and construction on the other. When I asked if other renters had complained about any noise, they wouldn't give me a direct answer. We decided to move to the new house because the first one wasn't livable. However, we soon found that at least three roosters crowed every morning starting at 4:00 a.m. The farm also seemed to have an ongoing altercation, with people yelling at and threatening each other. Again, the Phillips people seemed surprised, and again, we found information online that described at least the altercation issue in detail. Overall, we had a very nice vacation, although we didn't get enough sleep! But the experience with Phillips was concerning, mostly because they were so non-forthcoming with accurate information about the rentals.

The layers of dust were so thick, I actually took pictures of them. And there was a $160 "cleaning" fee with the rental. When I called to discuss, I was told that there were pictures on the website. The only saving grace was that it was a short stay this time. Will avoid at all cost. If anyone wants pictures, I will be happy to send.

I look at the other comments about Sullivan and I see that the comments are really about the houses, not Sullivan. Sullivan is great at checking on the houses and telling the owners what needs to be done, but Sullivan cannot be responsible for the status of the house. Please understand Sullivan's role as the listing agent, they do not directly care for the house.
