About this property

Our Tern: Secluded Dunes Home- Sleeps 14, Priv. Pool, Great View, Pet Friendly!

With accommodations for up to 14 guests, this luxury vacation rental is ideal for family reunions, multi-generational trips, or relaxing getaways with friends.

We had a wonderful vacation, in spite of hurricane Idalia. We had to leave for a few days but we were so grateful it missed the Island and we were able to return. It wasn't as remote as I thought it would be and the restaurants were great. We can't wait to return!
