About this property

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.

Another Great Stay at the Island

This was our third stay at the island, and it did not disappoint again! We had seven adults and 10 kids for two nights of endless fun and adventure. The island is a magical place.

Fantastic break

Save the air trip to Montana and come here for a peaceful ranch experience. The stress of the Bay Area fades as you approach the dock. Starlink WiFi lets you stay in touch with blinding speed if you choose to check in. Otherwise, fish, hike, goat watch, barbecue, stargaze, fire pits….

Amazing property and location

Fay Island is the perfect spot for a large group to stay on the delta. It has all the amenities you need, including inner-tubes, kayaks, fully stocked kitchen, outdoor deck with grills, etc. It’s on the fast water so you can do sports right from the house. I couldn’t recommend this place more for a large group, you will seriously have so much fun.

2025 Grads Getaway Celebration

Since five of our family graduates graduated the same weekend and couldn’t attend each other’s celebrations, we celebrated at Fay Island for one week. Fay Island offered accommodations for 24 people, which was perfect for our group size.- Very private with friendly goats.- Cottages and platform houses for lodging with AC.- Main Lodge/Kitchen area had excellent air conditioning and was able to comfortably accommodate everyone for three meals a day.- Boating from large platform docks afforded easy accessibility to ski boats and pontoon boat. - Convenient close by marina for gas.- Excellent communication with Host and Caretaker.

A Great Test Run

We have scheduled a 40th birthday gathering at Fay Island in June, so we did a test/reconnaissance stay there this week. It was super, and we look forward to the next visit. So peaceful and comfortable... and the owners have big plans for future improvements. We loved it.

What an amazing property and fun island all to ourselves!!

We absolutely loved this unique property. Being right on the water with tons of toys provided was so much fun for the kids and the adults loved the privacy, the many many sleeping cabins and room options, grilling on the back deck watching the sun set, and just generally spending quality time together in an idyllic setting. Staff was amazing and helpful, zero issues. Thank you, we will all want to return many times!

Amazing property!

My friends and I had a blast staying at Fay Island. It was so great and fun to have the whole island to ourselves. We got to enjoy the sunshine, jump into the river, and explore the nature there. One night the goats even came to say hello to us near their pen! The rooms and cabins were very comfortable and there was more than enough space for everyone. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique and adventurous experience.

Ideal Island Getaway!

We had an amazing multi generational weekend at Faye Island! Quick 15 min boat ride from Discovery Bay or short 10 min ride from Bullfrog Marina where your guests can park for free! Accommodations were plentiful, well appointed and clean. Everything was accurately depicted on VRBO listing. We had a wide range of ages from 84 to 6 months and this property had something for everyone! I can’t rave enough about how wonderful this property is. We’re definitely coming back next year!

Amazing Place to Stay!!! Great for large groups!

It can be a struggle to find places to stay that can accommodate large groups, but I think we have found the holy grail! Fay Island easily housed our family of 20. The layout was great and felt very spacious. Obviously the docks with access to fast water was absolutely amazing, but the island provide a lot of fun as well. Morning/evening walks, tons of wildlife (including friendly goats), fire pit, games, etc. Our group would highly recommend. We can’t wait to come back next year!

So close, but felt so far away!

My family and friends stayed at the island for three nights recently and had an amazing time! The cabins comfortably slept 10 children and 5 adults with room to spare. We enjoyed tons of boating, floating on the magic carpet, paddle boating, walking the island, and looking at the beautiful sunsets. The kitchen is very stocked as well. This was the ultimate rental to feel far away from it all and have an island all to yourself!

Annual retreat

We have been enjoying Fay Island for years hosting our annual retreat. Since it has been converted to a formal VRBO, there have been numerous upgrades that enhance what is already a spectacular property. We brought a private chef who enjoyed the numerous options for cooking, grilling, and smoking. We planned meals to reflect the Duck Club history. Sunsets are spectacular. The caretaker on the island did a great job with a few of our unanticipated needs. It was a perfect retreat.

Perfect Week!

I brought 17 girls 10-18 here for the week! We had a wonderful time. It is great to have a private place where we can let the girls roam free without worrying about strangers coming around. We spent a lot of time each afternoon swimming, floating and kayaking. The kitchen is well stocked and was able to handle the 27 of us. Sunrises and sunsets are so pretty. Hope to come stay again someday.
