The current configuration is: two entrances to the large corner room on the ground floor.  This large room would originally have been the shop storing and selling goods that were brought to the island by the ship owner. Behind what is now the large living room, there is a utility room with a workshop to one end and the only shower on the premises to the other end, nearest the (third) side door street entrance. A very large, sturdy, internal door separates the back of the property from the living and utility rooms (original shop area), through which you enter the large kitchen/dining room.

The kitchen, still with the sturdy door separating it from the original business shop, does have a modern galley kitchen fitted to the back wall with an oven inset at the end of the internal stairs. But everyone's attention is immediately drawn to the authentic, original kitchen, which boasts not just a freshwater cisterna wellhead, but also a fresh ground-water well. The original low washing 'sink' still exists, as does the oven, stove and chimney hood. You can just imagine bathtime for the family two hundred years ago - pulling water from the well, setting it to warm on the stove, standing the kids in the low sink and pouring the water over them! However, today, there is a small functioning shower room to use instead if that's too much authenticity to cope with at the end of a busy day on the beach.

From the kitchen, there is a small wooden internal staircase to the top floor. Next to the cistern and well, there's a street door which opens at the bottom of the external stone steps from the street to the top floor covered veranda. In the kitchen, at the end of the enclosed internal stairs, a door opens to a private courtyard. There is also a street door into the courtyard, so access to all areas of the house is very convenient.

The courtyard features yet another freshwater cisterna and has functioning roll-down sunshades. The courtyard flows into a citrus tree planted garden that extends around the corner of the house so from the modern kitchen sink, you can look out at green trees in the garden.. Between the courtyard and garden, there's a traditional outside cooking area for BBQs with a wood storage space under.

Originally, the top floor of the house would have been used as the family home of the shipowner. Guests would automatically approach the property when visiting the family via the
