This little cottage is adorable! Perfect for two people; with a comfortable bed, a "kitchenette", and a decent-sized bathroom. Very clean!! It is a short golf cart ride away from anything you might want to do, and the golf cart cost is included! We enjoyed everything about our stay here.

We highly enjoyed staying here. The host is wonderful. We had a minor issue that was not the fault of the owners, but just something out of their control and they were so gracious and hurried to make our experience the best possible. We did wish there was a little stove or hot plate bc we love to cook our own food BUT… there are plenty of places to eat on the island. We will definitely stay here again. It was absolutely wonderful to wake up and see the marina. 10’out of 10 recommend

Perfect rental for a romantic weekend trip

We enjoyed taking our boat down for the weekend and staying at Earth. The property manager assisted in making sure we had a slip in the marina waiting and that everything was ready for us! We took advantage of the membership options for the shoals club and can’t wait to come visit again!
