Dionis has always been our favorite area of the island for several reasons…
- It’s close to town, by bike or car, but feels quiet and uncrowded
- there’s a nicely stocked Stop-N-Shop, with long hours, very close by
- Dionis beach, which is quiet and always feels like a private beach, is walkable from many of the homes in Dionis.
We were glad to have found this wonderful home in Dionis! It’s location within Dionis was great, too. It’s tucked back in, away from the road and feels very private and peaceful. It’s so well hidden that my husband and I both missed the driveway entrance a couple of times. (We also saw several deer in the drive.) While there wasn’t as much “usable” land as we had hoped, for flying kites and the like, we did have plenty of space to set up a badminton net in the back yard. It was very enjoyable to sit on the porch or balcony, after dinner, and watch the kids pass the shuttlecock back and forth.
Overall, our family of five (2 adults, 2 high school aged teens and 1 middle schoolers) had a fantastic time! We had plenty of extra room (an entire house, in fact) since the rest our party came down with the flu and couldn’t join us.
Both houses are beautiful - even more beautiful than the photos in the listing, as it appears that the homeowners are continually updating the property.
They owners have also nicely outfitted every aspect of the home. The kitchen and bar area are well stocked with cooking and serving items, along with all of the little pantry whatnots one never thinks to bring along. In the baths and bedrooms, they’ve provide fluffy white towels, crisp cotton linens and lovely Molton and Brown shower gels and soaps. For indoor entertainments, they have a good selection of card and board games and, although we didn’t have a need for them, I also noticed a few items to keep a baby/toddler entertained, as well. When we wanted to go to the beach, there was no shortage of beach towels and chairs. Speaking of, I should also mention that when returning from the beach, the outdoor showers (and all of the gorgeous flowers and greenery surrounding them) are to die for - absolutely beautiful! They look like something out of a home and garden magazine.
Most importantly, the home was impeccably clean.
We had a great week and look forward to, hopefully, renting here again.
