The home is nicely decorated and includes plush linens and top-notch kitchen supplies. The hosts even supplied smores fixings to make the fire pit even more inviting. Yum! There are indoor and outdoor games. We especially enjoyed the nearby bird sanctuary. We also took advantage of parking on the beach for our evening walks.

This was a great listing! Very accurate description, clean , comfortable, lots of space. Outdoor space was great! Great value! High Island is a tough location for accommodations. It is an oasis for birders and beachers. We are grateful to have this option. We would definitely stay again.
