Very cute, clean and welcoming rental property in a gated community. Easy access to the two pools and beach. The residences (not sure what to call them as some are small homes, some park model trailers etc. ) on Nettles Island are close together which was a concern but it was very quiet and everyone was friendly. Hosts have gone out of their way to make sure you have what you need. There is a restaurant and a small grocery store and fishing access as well as a boat ramp. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area. ##### Lisa B. Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael G.
