This is just the cutest cottage. Perfectly situated on the island, where you are close to everything, but still feels private. We loved the pool and beach access was also close by. The house is stocked with games, chairs, toys, floats, etc. It was perfect getaway for our little family and we will definitely be back! Bonus points for allowing us to bring our pup along for the trip. Probably one of our most favorite VRBO houses to date.

Beautiful little bungalow!

Property was exactly as described. Had everything you might need. Close to beach and restaurants and shops. Pool was very nice the day we were able to enjoy it (weather didn't cooperate the week we stayed). Would highly recommend.

Miss Opals was cozy! I would only make a suggestion for an air conditioner window unit in the pool house. And possibly cut back soE of the foliage in the back yard. I would highly recommend this place. We had a great time. If you do stay here in fall months ask them to have the heater on before you get there. Seemed like it took two days to get the water warm.
