House faces directly at the beautiful setting sun. The transition from sun setting and darkness is about 15 minutes and is like a painting from Thomas Kinkaid, look him up!

We absolutely loved this house and all the surroundings! Our family of 5 had an amazing time. The home is beautiful, spacious and wonderfully clean. It has everything you could need for your stay. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is stocked, and there are some beach toys under the deck. The beach itself is beautiful as well. The water is clear and the sandbar is great. We saw starfish, sand dollars, dolphins and more on most days. I would 100% recommend and stay again!!

My wife and i absolutely loved our stay here. We went for our honeymoon and had the best vacation here. The house is amazing, very clean and has a beautiful deck to watch the sunset/ sunrise on, loved the massive kitchen with everything you could possibly need in it. The beach was so cool we found so many sharks teeth and sea shells. I would highly recommend to anyone to stay here. Honestly we had such an amazing time we would love to make this a yearly trip.

Wonderful place. Great walks on the beach with tons of shells and great fishing too!House was beautiful with all the amenities you could want. Kitchen was well stocked. No restaurants on island, but we ordered pizza which was brought over in a golf cart and it was delicious.Just sitting on the deck looking out at the water and watching the birds and boats was so relaxing. A great place to make memories. Highly recommend.

It was an incandescent experience. Being right on the beach, and a private beach at that, with all of the kids was absolutely amazing, especially for the price point. I highly recommend for anyone looking to completely unplug and recharge.

We had a FABULOUS time at Cloud 9! The house had an amazing kitchen with everything we needed, each bedroom having their own bathroom was great and the living space was roomy and comfortable! The views were amazing, the beaches had great shelling, cleaning off the sand was made easy by having an outdoor spigot and shower… we were so relaxed-it was really a 5 day and 5* vacation!
My find!!!

We loved our trip to Cloud 9 and are already planning our trip to come back! We've not been to a more peaceful place. The views were amazing, the house was very clean and well equiped. The beach is just a few steps from the beach. My wife collected shells and my son and his friend caught a lot of from the surf. The sunsets are worth the trip alone. We rented a boat from weeklyboatrentals.com and they were great. Had the boat ready for us on the mainland. If you're looking for peace and quiet, there's no better place than Cloud 9. We look forward to coming back!

Beautiful House and Island

We had such a great time spending the week here. The house was perfect and just as described., the beaches were absolutely beautiful and the entire experience provided my family exactly what we needed - a week of sun, sand and completely disconnecting from our normal routines!

Absolutely Amazing at Cloud 9

There was 3 couples that vacationed at Cloud 9! Will all agree the house and the island where perfect. The house is spacious and the amount of windows give you amazing views. They had every thing you could want. While at Cloud 9 you will love the beauty of the home and the island.

Fantastic!

This house is perfect! The inside is immaculate with such great attention to detail. Probably the best stocked VRBO kitchen (in terms of tools and dishes) that we have stayed at. The location is perfect. Easy access to beach side, and easy access to bay side. The island is nice and quiet, as promised. Definitely recommend spending time on the bay as well as the surf.
