Would highly recommend a few days (or weeks!) at Dawn's place.

Super handy to Oneroa, the beach and shops. Beautiful views from the large deck.
One thing to note if you have a toddler there were a lot of decorative items within easy reach, so we did have to toddler-proof when we first arrived, but it wasn't a big deal.
Dawn let us keep our luggage at the house until we left the island late afternoon which was SO helpful.
Thanks Dawn!
