Our stay at Birds Nest

We cannot say enough about how wonderful our recent 2 week stay was on LGI!!! This property is in an excellent location. It was spotless on our arrival. Pretty much everything that we needed was available. We hope to come back next year!!!

Beautiful place and well stocked!

The property was conveniently located right by dock 44. We had awesome communication with the host, who was very accessible and responsive. There were plenty of towels, a fully stocked kitchen with great cooking supplies and plenty of room for us. We had a medical emergency during our visit and the on-island paramedic was quick and responsive. Help arrived swiftly from the mainland to get our loved one the medical care she needed. Would highly recommend!

Great Views of Bay

The home was well prepared and clean. We found everything in working order. Had a bad storm one evening and lost Wi-Fi but that was addressed and resolved swiftly. It was very peaceful and calming just what we needed. Due to the heat wasn't prepared for the dock to feel like a walk across of the football field . Thank goodness it was a short walk to the home. Heat was brutal during our week. We meet nice neighbors and took advantage of family time. Would stay here again as she was an excellent communicator.

Island living - access by personal boat or water taxi only

This rental was perfect for our Family of 4... Mom, Dad, and two boys 7 and 10. The property is right on the intercostal... easy walking distance from the Bay St Dock (#44). We brought our own boat which was great, there were lots of empty slips in mid-April. The beach is about a 10 minute walk the other direction. If you don't mind bringing your own entertainment... this is the SPOT for you! Be certain to do your research... there are no stores or restaurants on this island.
