Apr 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful getaway My husband and I came for a relaxing getaway weekend. The home was charming and comfortable. The location couldn’t be better! We sat by the fire pit watching the sunset over the water and even did a little fishing from the shore. The property owners were nice as can be and very attentive to our needs. We will be visiting again! ##### Sarah H. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### angela m. Jun 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Anniversary weekend getaway This place is amazing. The host picks you up in a pontoon boat to take you to the island so you get a lovely boat ride included. We have stayed at many VRBO places and this place was amazing. The fridge was packed with food, drinks, juice. The dinner they provided was delicious. Many coffee choices and snacks. Had a fire near the river to watch the sunset. I would definitely stay here again. ##### angela m. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### “Glamping Getaway” Absolutely incredible! Karen and Yves provided an unforgettable experience at their stunning VRBO. My wife, AJ, and I were searching for a place to disconnect together before the start of the new year, and this “Glamping Island” getaway exceeded all our expectations.From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in unmatched hospitality and tranquility. The adventure begins with a short, beautiful private boat ride to a secluded island, where the magic truly unfolds. The privacy, peacefulness, and natural beauty made it the perfect escape. We loved spotting dolphins and manatees, breathing in the fresh sea air, and soaking in the unique charm of this one-of-a-kind retreat.Yves, our Captain and host, was a true gem—so welcoming and thoughtful, ensuring every detail was perfect. This getaway was the ideal way to recharge, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly. Five stars all the way! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen S. Mar 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Paradise Words cannot describe the experience we shared on this Island. To experience the beauty and solace on this Island is something I never experienced before. The hosts could not of been more congenial towards us. All I have to say we’ll be back ##### Karen S.
