My sisters and I enjoyed staying in the Trout House. It was full of history of the island. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. It was in a super safe area. The porch overlooking the Avalon Cove was wonderful!!! The only reason I rated it four stars was that it needs some updating which I spoke to the property manager about.

A great little place for our weekend getaway with 2 Adults and 2 teenagers. It's close to the main shopping and dining area and the Vons supermarket is also a short walk. It's an older house with character, a little cramped, but expected due to being built in the early 1900s! Overall, we had a fantastic stay.

Came back a year later to this charming historic home and much to our pleasure, nothing had changed. It is an exquisite historic gem, and if that’s your thing, this is your place. We will be back time and time again.

Remember the motel with the saying, "We'll leave the light on for you."? Well don't expect any lights on with this place. We always follow the rules and respect the property where we're staying. The directions we were sent said to use the side entrance when bringing your luggage into the home. The problem is that there are absolutely NO LIGHTS on the side entrance...but there are uneven random steps! My son's dad fell while carrying his luggage and trying to navigate the unseen stairs. It's dark by 5:30 and he came in on the late ferry. I reached out to the manager via email and left a message on her landline answering machine as a cell number was not provided. It took her the whole day to get back to us and her response was that we should only use the side door when bringing in the luggage and to use the front door when coming and going. I pointed out that the fall occurred because we did exactly that, used the side entrance because we had arrived with our luggage after dark. This point seemed to be completely lost on her as she felt that the problem was solved...or that there wasn't even a problem in the 1st place! She never once apologized or asked if he was ok after the fall. There was no concern whatsoever on her part. When I have guests coming to visit my home, you can be sure that I have my porch light on and they feel welcome. I'm beyond flabbergasted that the entrance you require your guests to use with uneven randomly placed steps and no lights is an acceptable way to have your PAYING guests enter the home. I'm disappointed that I'm not able to attach the pictures I took to this review. To say it's unsafe is an understatement. Beyond the lighting issue the house itself is small and cute but nothing worth a fall on stairs that ruined the rest of our weekend. There were also no directions for the thermostat or where to find it so we spent the 1st night very cold until we found it and turned it on the next day. There is no hairdryer provided so be sure to bring your own. Also no golf cart provided. We were there for a lacrosse tournament so many people from our group had gone the Airbnb route or rented through evolve or whatever and no one else had an experience like ours. That tells me that there are many places available on the island so I would recommend staying elsewhere.
