We had the loveliest time at the Island jewel! Our pups enjoyed the fenced in yard area for them and the walkable beach access was unbeatable! It was a very comfortable stay and we will absolutely be coming back! I could not recommend the Island Jewel to anyone wanting to have a weekend away enough!!
This property was awesome. The attention to detail the owners offered, stocked cabinet with paper plates, plastic silverware down to the bowl of dog biscuits left for your pup which my Dixie enjoyed several! Definitely want to book again. Nice quiet area fenced in yard.
The house was very cozy and clean. check in was easy and our host responded very quickly with questions we had. It is a very short walk to the beach and restaurants Definitely would love to visit again.
The Island Jewel truly lives up to its name—offering unbeatable location, thoughtful amenities, and every convenience you could hope for. The hosts genuinely thought of everything: paper products, snacks, tea and coffee, a water cooler, wine glasses, and even a wine opener. It made our stay effortless and enjoyable.
The place was nice, very clean, and overall for our weekend trip it was decent place to stay. However, we were not aware that the host would be living full time above us. We could hear them walking around, we could hear their TV, when they use their water upstairs you can hear it running through the pipes, their dogs came downstairs to a connecting door and was barking, and they let their own dogs in the fenced in portion which made our dog bark at 7:00am. While the place was clean we didn’t feel comfortable knowing they were right there—not that we did anything wrong but just not the notion VRBO advertises which is the “entire” place to yourself. We did have to ask for a plunger which we used and had to immediately return upon their request. They did vacate often however when they were away their dogs would come downstairs and bark. Overall clean place, decent stay, but if you don’t want to run into the host while on your vacation this may not be the place for you.
