This is a lovely home to stay in for a family vacation. We found it had everything that we needed. The floorplan is great, with all of the bedrooms on the first floor, plenty of room for our family of six. The kitchen, dining room and living room on the second floor provide for fantastic views. We took some beautiful pictures of sunrise and sunset from the hawks nest at the top of the house. The island is beautiful, with lots of wildlife. We saw dolphins, manatees, gopher tortoises, lots of birds, including an eagle, while exploring the nature preserve. The house is a very quick golf cart ride to the beautiful beach with lots and lots of seashells. The surf was very gentle while we were there. There are some extra steps to staying on an island only accessible by ferry, but it is worth it for the seclusion and a definite feel of “island time.” We are adventuresome, so we rarely stay at the same place twice, however if we were the type of folks who found somewhere we loved and go back, this would definitely be somewhere we would come back to.
