Chatterbox is located in the heart of Dunmore Town. Built in the late 1800's by the island's first contractor, it was fully renovated in 2012, making it a historic house with modern amenities. It is a three bedroom (two bedrooms with queen size beds, one bedroom with two double beds), two bath home with wood floors, comfortable furniture, a cook's kitchen and lots of charm. A second floor patio and widow's walk offer stunning sunset views. A covered terrace on the first floor for entertaining or just relaxing as well as a porch swing on the front patio to enjoy the island breeze.

Literally steps away from the grocery store, bakery and deli, nothing is out of reach. The pink sand beach is a short walk away and golf carts are available for hire for exploring the island. Bone fishing, deep sea fishing, SCUBA diving and snorkeling are all easily accessible services!

Guests can enjoy the home’s many amenities including luxury bedding and linens, Wi-fi, cable tv, whole home stereo system, a safe, security cameras and free long distance.

Exceptionally charming and elegant home
It was a pleasure to stay in this exceptionally charming and elegant home to celebrate and create special memories. We loved having drinks and snacks on the stunning balconies and large widow’s walk with spectacular views. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern and professional appliances. Extremely friendly daily room service and the on call local staff does all laundry, shopping and anything we needed nearly instantly. Steps away from shopping, cafés and restaurants. We had an absolutely fantastic time and are definitely coming back.

Chatterbox is darling!
My family absolutely loved our week stay in Chatterbox. The house is so cool - old, full of charm, and lovely decor. Plenty of space for my family of 5. My 3 girls loved their upstairs bedrooms. We loved the location - directly across the street from the grocery store, an easy golf cart ride to the beach, and a block away from Daddy D's :)

House in Disrepair - Worn and Dirty
In 2021, my family had an incredible stay at this property. The house was incredibly well kept. When we returned in June 2023, we were disappointed to find that the house was under new ownership and had not been maintained. The house was covered in mildew, and all of the furniture was stained (even the bedding). There was a crib and trash from the previous renters on the front porch, not to mention a broken fridge in the backyard. We were told the upstairs porch could not be used due to ants. The wifi nor music system was working. There were no complete sets of drinkware (e.g., coffee mugs, wine glasses). Some of the outside furniture was broken. Our visit came to an end after just 24 hours. During our first night in the house, there was a storm. There were leaks everywhere - both bedrooms upstairs, the hallway upstairs, and the living room downstairs. And there was mold / mildew and separating wood that suggested these were not new leaks. We used nearly every clean towel and beach towel in the house to mop up water. The worst was the upstairs bedroom with double beds. The water was rushing through the windows displaying two of our family that night. We reported this incident and checked out the next day. Lastly, the host was totally unresponsive. I initiated contact the day prior to our check-in. The day of our check-in, I messaged her two or three times and did not get a response. During the storm, I called and messaged - no answer. Even VRBO could not get in contact.

Disappointment is an understatement!
Everything from deferred maintenance (too much to mention) to dirty areas (front patio, floor & floor coverings, upholstery, linens, etc) and devoid of basic necessities (flashlights, candles, dinner knives, napkins, proper cooking utensils, full sets of pots & pans, etc.) this property needs serious improvement! While the property has old world cottage charm, this feature alone does not make up for the overall deficiencies and lack of owner accountability. Chattterbox was a huge disappointment to say the least!

Great Location
For those looking to be just steps from stores and a short walk to the best bar and restaurant on the island, this house is a great choice! We particularly enjoyed hanging out on the upper deck - and there was enough room for us all to spread out. Pink Sands is a very short ride away. The property manager was very helpful and responsive and we really appreciated her!

probably very cute once
We rented this vintage cottage going by the photos, description and previous reviews. I'm sure the cottage was really cute when it was first renovated but it needs a LOT of TLC. Linens were dingy upholstery was stained and there was an overall grime and smell to the place. We had a tremendous roof and window leak during one of the rain showers. We checked out a day early and contacted the house manager and owner who assured me they would remedy the situation immediately and I trust they have. I would get assurance that these things have been taken care of before renting this house. The location is directly in front of the Pigly Wiggly which can be busy during the day so if you are looking for a quiet location this is not the spot.
