Everything about are experience was above expectations. The host was fast and friendly when communicating. The cabin and island were better than we could have ever expected. I wish I could just live here.

Love the private, relaxed environment. Sun porch was grand and amazing. It's a very unique property. We even got to watch fireworks twice from our own island. Owner was helpful. It is a little climb up to the house but we enjoyed the exercise. It wouldn't work for someone that's not mobile. But we enjoyed it thoroughly.

Private Island Getaway

The vacation rental is different than your normal getaway. First off the obvious. It's on a 2.5 acre island so you have full privacy and you need a boat to get there with your belongings. The island is well maintained and its rustic and old feel make it unique. There is a campfire site at the lower end of the island, a large patio at the top end and a nice seating area out on the dock. The house is an older build with no central air or heating but we managed knowing this beforehand. The kitchen is a good size and has all the equipment and kitchen supplies needed for the weekend. There is a large summer room and where the dining table is. The bathrooms were a little small and are older and didnt have locks on the doors which we were able to deal with. Overall, it was a good experience as the owner was very friendly and accomadating and helped us get settled and comfortable.
