Outdoor entertainment: The lagoon-style pool with hot tub is 16' x 32' and has 4 pool-width sized stairs- perfect if you just want to sit and watch everyone play. The pool can be heated for an additional $200 per day however we would need advanced notice at time of final payment so we can plan for it. The fire pit is great for relaxing in the evening (bring your own firewood) and is accented with outdoor lighting. A large TV is mounted on the screened porch for easy viewing. We have a homemade game board barrel table for checkers. We also have books, cards and puzzles.

Location: We're conveniently located at the corner of Arnold and Demere (pronounced De-ma-ree). We are less than 1/2 a mile to the beach (Massengale Park which is an access point to East Beach, has bathrooms, shaded picnic tables and play ground) and 1 mile to The Village (quaint square with shopping, dining and the pier). Demere park is across the street with a playground, skate park and baseball field - great for play. Fiddlers, Crab Daddy's, Crab Trap, The Still, Beachcomber BBQ & Grill, Barrier Island Brewery and bicycle rentals are located at the next corner on Arnold and Ocean Blvd. King and Prince is at the end of Arnold (just one block further). "The Friendly" gas station is just down the street from us and is great for those last minute items you forgot (butter, milk, firewood and the like). Golf cart rentals are available in The Village and make the stay even more enjoyable.

We built this home with our family in mind. We hope you enjoy your stay and make it an annual tradition to come again. We entrust our home to you and ask that you take great care of it. We're glad you chose to spend your vacation time at the Blue Island Cottage.

Note: we do not rent the property for the GA/FL Game weekend.
