Grand Manor Historic Mansion Bird of Paradise Suite

Convenient location.

Great time!

Stunning house!! Brian and Karin were the consummate hosts. Beautifully decorated with modern amenities. Pet friendly (we have a parrot that we brought with us), some brought their cat, some brought dogs. Walking distance to restaurants and The Strand. Very safe neighborhood. Highly, highly recommended!! We will definitely be staying there again.

Just lovely and a perfect location.

We loved the unique mansion. It was in a great location and we walked all over the place. We checked in early not intending to-just wanted to use the main floor bathroom and our host said our room was ready and answered a few questions about places to eat. It was a quiet and relaxing stay and highly recommend!

Beautiful. Spacious. Great location. So in love with this house. Plan on staying again with the whole family. Brian is helpful n quick to reply to messages. The room is HUGE. House is clean n beautifully decorated to the era. It had everything we needed. I love old house n I was not disappointed. This place is amazing. I took more pics at the house than anywhere else during our stay. While the outside of it needs a little love, I appreciated the work put into the interior n the grounds. The bathroom. I saw conflicting reviews on this point. After a little online digging, our room is the only one that did not have its own in room bath, (hotel style). So while it was in the hall only a few steps away, no one else used it. Its was designated n marked private for our use only. Which I did not mind at all. Location. Location. Close the Strand n a variety of restaurants. 10/10

Access was easy. The front restroom in the hallway before our room had a noticeable odor that could also be smelled in the room and the top of the barn doors for the closet in the bedroom had what looked like years of accumulated dust on them, which was surprising considering that one of the owners cited allergies when telling us we colud not smoke cigarettes outside on property. If that's a rule that's fine, but please list it or at least post signs. Other than that, the stay was easy and the location was great for access to the strand and shopping. We really liked that there was ground level access through the side lobby to our room and we could walk to most of the places we wanted to visit while there. The ability to bring our dogs at no extra charge was also a great feature.

Check in was easy. Kitchen was clean and set up nicely. We enjoyed coffee in the mornings.

2nd stay... it's a gem. Regal and cozy, with many delicious restaurants within walking distance. Close enough to the beach to get there fast, but without being in the middle of the traffic. Quiet, chill, and quite affordable

Our stay was amazing. The host family was so kind and accommodating. We can't wait to go back.

Home was Beautiful and was a unique but pleasant experience. Truly was like being at home. Great location as well with lots of options for shopping and eating

Location was great! Easy to get to anything we wanted to do. Bed was also comfy. Having a bathroom down a public hall was strange, but worked out ok. Decor in our room was seriously lacking. Curtains needed work in order to keep sun off our faces while resting, and off the furniture and floor in the evening which made the room warm. Discovered the shutters outside over the window with the a/c were broken/missing. Closet was musty, so didn’t use it. Dresser drawers weren’t clean. Only one small luggage rack in this huge room and nowhere else to put clothes besides the couch or a vanity stool. No tissues, either. There’s more little things I won’t take the time to list, but they all added up and made our stay very mediocre.

Very nice place to get away. Needs a lamp on each side of the bed, please! Otherwise lovely.

Great house and good location. Drapes on the windows to be able to sleep late would have been nice. Should be required.

Amazing place to stay...had everything we needed and location was great.

Very close to the Strand and local restaurants were very good. The owners were very accommodating in allowing us to drop off our luggage early, as we had disembarked from our cruise.

I will definitely stay there again.

The home has a lot of history and some beautiful wood work and ceiling. Property needs some TLC ! , and a luggage lift for the older adults that have difficulty carrying luggage up stairs.Over all quiet, comfortable, and close to downtown.

Our original trip was delayed due to Hurricane Beryl. However, Brian scheduled us in for a couple of days the next week. The property was just beautiful and we couldn’t even tell that it had gone through a storm a couple days before. The Island is resilient and for the most part was opened back up to enjoy.
