It was amazing, my family loved the private pool and the golf cart. It’s very quiet and the screen in porch is lovely when you first wake up and get to watch the sunrise. If you are looking for a secluded and peaceful vacation this is the spot to book. It’s also pet friendly and our dog loved it! Me and my family are looking forward to booking this place again next year and possibly a longer stay as well!

Paradise

Love the island and this place. Part of me doesn’t want to give this place a great review because I don’t want others to know about this piece of paradise we found. Great house that makes you feel like you’ve always lived there. Love the views, the pool and the general area. Hope to come again!

First family vacation

Great house and location. It was our first family vacation with our kids and their spouses and our first grandchild. Loved the 2 kayaks, pool and a quick golf cart ride to the beach. My husband loved quiet fishing on the dock. We loved it all!

Perfect little spot for a long weekend. The bikes and golf cart make it easy to get around the island. Plenty of beach towels and chairs available to use! The pool was the perfect place to hang out after a day of fishing! We enjoyed our weekend!

Great place

This rental was very nice and we had a great stay. The golf cart made our trips to the beach a breeze. The bikes weren't in that great of condition so we didn't end up using those. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking for a family. The private dock made our fishing very enjoyable as we could come and go very easily. I would definitely recommend this rental.

Lovely property

We loved our stay! The property was very clean and had everything you need and more. You can tell owners put a lot attention to details and love in the decor. Property managers and cleaning staff were on point. We loved the screen patio upstairs. We were able to have all the meals outside. Downstairs beautiful set up, outdoor shower, pool, hammock, grill and fire pit. The golf cart available in the property was a great way to tour the beautiful and super private island and got us to the beach for amazing sunsets. Will love to rent again for a longer stay.

Nice place to get away yet stay connected

Beautiful property, quiet neighborhood. Great dock for fishing, nice pool, a few mosquitoes so bring your spray. We had some problems with the golf cart holding a charge so hopefully that’s fixable cause that would have been great to use. We rented a boat and had it delivered, it’s an easy route to Stump Pass or Boca Grande. Beach is literally just a couple minutes and never was very crowded. Hardly no one at times. All in all a great vacation 😀

Summer Vacation with family

We stayed for our family vacation. It was great having a golf cart included with the rental to get around the island without added expense. We enjoyed games on the screened porch in the evenings. Pool was great to cool off in during the day. We fished from the dock. Garden area around pool was well kept. Sitting area with hammock under the house was nicely shaded and provided escape from the sun. Kayaks and paddle boards were great for water fun. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals. A/C works great. Location was easy access to beach with golf cart. Upstairs loft was perfect for our 14 year old son. The two queen bedrooms on the main level worked well for my wife and I and our daughter and son-in-law. Nice Weber gas Grill. Great place to stay!
