Year Purchased: 1976
Why the Owner Chose Ono Island
My parents bought the land back in the late 1960's when ONO Island was a deserted island. Fisher’s Folly was one of the first of the five homes build on the island in 1976. Boy have things changed, back then you had to buy your groceries 45 minutes away, drive 30 minutes for diner. Ono Island was, as it is today, a little piece of paradise. Today as back then Ono Island, is a private island, only today, the island has private access, with 24 hour security guards.

Fisher's Folly Ono Island

Review Submitted: 07/26/11
I rented this home 7/17-21, 2011. We were disappointed, and embarassed/worried when our family (staying in a nearby condo) came to visit. House was dirty, in disrepair and dangerous. Spent a whole day awaiting the real estate agency's cleaning crew (finally came and did the best they could in an hour or so) and repairmen--who never came!! Porch screen door is falling off; hangs on 1 of 3 hinges. Sliding door screen in eating area was hanging half off of door (agency fixed by ripping off). There are dangerous nails sticking way up all over pier/patios. An electrical cord to the pier has been cut so evening fishing with our grandkids was impossible. Light bulbs were out all over. Only half of bulb receptacles in dining area light and medicine cabinet work. Rugs were filthy with big food particles, dirt, dog hair, and pet stains. Agency saw, and sent sent a carpet cleaner. I wasted yet more time--and rugs were wet/nasty forever (steam cleaned directly on top of bamboo floor). Large pet stains in living room rug can not be removed. Ground level laundry is full of filth and what looks like rat droppings. Home is not pet friendly; there is NO grass and nowhere a pet can go without getting large burrs all over them. We'll go back to a gorgeous condo next year--and leave our small dog in Dallas.

The house and property were wonderful. The only complaints that I had for the place was there was no water or power on the pier (which makes for a messy fish cleaning station). Also the water faucets downstairs were locked, and those keys were not included with the keys at check in. The rest of the accomodations were perfect!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, pet owners, adventure seekers, girls getaway, families with teenagers.
