The hosts are wonderful people and truly like to make your stay enjoyable and worthwhile. The location is beautiful with good restaurants just a short boat ride away. The gazebo is beautiful and comfortable. Highly recommended, especially for a couple's retreat.
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!

Thank you so much for your very kind review! It was our pleasure to have you stay at our island retreat! We would love to see you both again!
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.
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

Thank you for your kind review -- we look forward to seeing you again!
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!
Our stay at Karen & Ives's private Gazebo was wonderful. From the moment Ives met us at the marina, he was welcoming & informative about the area & wildlife. The gazebo was very comfortable & full of everything we needed & more. We enjoyed the fire pit every night & loved seeing the manatees & dolphins swim by. Ives coordinated our swim with the manatees. It was an amazing & wonderful experience. Thanks for sharing your slice of paradise with us!!
