My wife and I love going here to get away and relax. We took Pirates Water Taxi to the island, where we were picked up at the dock and taken to the house. I think it took longer to load the cart than it did to drive there. This is the first time we rented this place. It is very comfortable and it feels lived in, like a beach house should. Everything worked fine & we had zero issues. Love the large outdoor shower! Everything we needed was there & the beach chairs were great! Its about a one minute walk and your on the beach. We were there during a holiday when it was busy and it felt as if we had the beach to ourselves. When you see the most people is during sunset, & its always breathtaking! Late at night you can go out on the beach and with a red light, or a full moon you can watch the sea turtles come in and lay eggs. This is a special place because there are no cars, no roads leading to it. The people are friendly and respectful. It is all private property and private beach. Thank you to the owner for sharing their wonderful piece of heaven! We loved it!!

Property is nice & cute. Easy short walk to the beach. Loved the sunset views from the back decks. Unfortunately the mosquitos and no-see-ums are atrocious & can’t enjoy the porch or deck. This is about 1/2 way on the island and the sand is lower, so it stays damp. Needs a new shower head. Vacuum doesn’t pick up the sand. Could use some mats at the doors and curtains in the LR.

I want to start this review by saying our stay was a good time, the rental home is actually good and has the potential to be great. However, the people who rent (Tarpon Rental) this place need to do a better job. If you are bringing pets they will hit you with a hidden fee the day of that is $168 and was not disclosed until you go get the keys. I did not mind the fee as much as I did the whole not telling us and keeping it a surprise until we got there. The check in process was not very friendly. Again, the house has SO much potential and is in a great location and the people on the island are super friendly and willing to help. The house could use some care and a good thorough cleaning as it was not in the best conditions and last thing I want to do during a vacation is clean up, which should not be the case if they charge such a high cleaning fee. We are glad that we brought our own linens, towels, blankets because the ones either have sand on them or are not clean so make sure you pack those up but travel light because it is a bit of a walk to bring everything into the house. Overall, we still made the best out of our trip, it was super relaxing and the sunsets are absolutely breathtaking here.
