About this lodge

This private island vacation rental is located an hour East of San Fransisco in the California Delta close to Discovery Bay.
It offers an array of cabins totaling 7 bedrooms, 8 baths, and a central lodge with a large kitchen. This is the ideal place for boating, fishing, water sports, swimming, campfires, or exploring the 1.3 mile private island loop. With plenty to do on and off the island, make this your next vacation spot! Perfect for large families, Groups of friends, or corporate events.
NOTE!! This is an Island, and is not directly accessible by car.
If you do not have a boat there are many boat rental companies in the area. The most popular for our guests is CB rentals in Discovery Bay. They have a collection of platform boats that are great for groups, and there the rates are very reasonable. Many of our guests have said renting from them was a great experience!

There are around 60 goats & sheep, on the island that help control the vegetation. They are friendly & adorable, and may come up to you to say ‘HI’. If you have a dog, you need to be carful and keep them in control around the goats.

Three years ago we rented the island with extended family and we came back again for a week! This time there were 20 of us who enjoyed our time together boating, fishing, eating and playing games. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms so everyone has privacy. So much glassy water to enjoy skiing, wakeboarding, wake surfing and tubing right from our own dock. Truly a special place. The caretaker responded immediately to my texts with questions.

Our group had an unforgettable stay at Fay Island. The platform house was definitely my favorite - it felt like a peaceful little retreat of its own and had a more modern feel than the main house and cottages, though every accommodation on the property was comfortable and charming in its own way. The experience felt like camping on the water, with all the comforts you’d want for a relaxing getaway. The private docks made it so easy for our group to enjoy multiple boats and water activities throughout our stay. Oh, and let's not forget those adorable baby goats we got to feed!Some small improvements could go a long way to make the experience even better (i.e. new kitchen & bath linens, pots & pans). Cleanliness overall was good and as expected considering the property is surrounded by nature and a body of water. But none of these are deal breakers by any means.Overall, we truly enjoyed the privacy and spaciousness this property provided oir group of families. We'll definitely be booking another stay here in the near future!!

If you have a large group who’s into smooth water, privacy, nature, and catching a ton of fish- this is the place for you. It’s a remote location adjacent to farmland, so if you’re worried about dust and a few bugs maybe it isn’t for you.The staff was extremely communicative, helpful and friendly. Our large group had a fantastic time!

Several families gathered to celebrate Labor Day weekend to enjoy this beautiful island on the Delta! We brought our ski boat and fishing poles and were literally in heaven on earth!
