Upstairs is an additional bedroom with twins that can be converted to a king, a full bath, and a cozy dormer-ed bedroom (low head room, best for a child) with one twin. Dock will accommodate boat up 35’ (4’ draft at low tide) Welcome to Pa Willies!

Hope Town and Pa Willie’s was even better than we had hoped. The cottage is well equipped for a family of 4. Perfect location for beach and snorkel. Our boat and cart rentals were right across the street each day so close to the cottage.

Beautiful Roomy Cottage

Pa Willie’s is a quaint cottage in the village of HopeTown. It’s close to the beach, restaurants and shops. We enjoyed our stay and would rent it again. Lory was helpful answering our questions.

Charming and Comfy

Our stay at this cottage was wonderful. We love Hopetown and have visited often, but this was the first time we've stayed right in town. It was really fun and the convenience was perfect for our group of four senior citizens.

One week in Hopetown

Property was very cute and comfortable. Really enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. Check out time was a bit too early at 9:30. For the price, a few basic upgrades would be nice. Like a better shower and kitchen.

Perfect Easy Getaway

Pa Willie’s is perfectly situated in Hopetown. We enjoyed long walks every day and visiting our favorite spots by golf cart and boat, which was especially easy with the property’s dock and cart parking. We had everything we needed for our stay and everything was in working order. The bed was very comfortable and the house was very clean.

Simple Pleasures

We stayed at this classic settlement home with a party of 4 adults. It was comfortable and convenient. We could sit on the porch to read or we could explore Hope Town and the north end on foot. A beautiful beach was steps away. The house provided a relaxing week after a prior chaotic week stay with family.

70th Birthday Weekend Celebration

Pa Willie's is just as it is described. It is not fancy by any means, but well equipped, clean and the very best location. A boat dock just steps away. Lory was wonderful to communicate with - we did have a power outage and her response was almost immediate and we were good to go in no time. Would stay there again and hope to!!!

Great stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We’re a family that keeps coming back to Hopetown and this was the best place to stayed based on our family needs. The beach was a quick walk away for the kids and so was the playground. The kitchen was well stocked with what was needed to cook. Great place overall.

Best location with a boat dock!

We had a wonderful time at Paul Willie’s. We rented the boat so this location is ideal. The house had everything you would ever need in the kitchen and was well stocked with paper goods.The host promptly attended to a problem when we arrived and was easy to deal with. The AC is wonderful!

Pa Willies is at an excellent location with a dedicated boat dock. The place is well-equipped, and our host Lori was very responsive and helpful. Best for a family with kids but good for a couple like us. Recommended!
