What are you looking for in a vacation rental?
You want more than a hotel.
You want a home. It should be inviting and warm.
It should be comfortable, clean, with just enough amenities and special touches to feel pampered during your stay. You want a place to remember and want to return to long after your vacation is over.

Welcome to Featherbed Island House. Our home is named after the tiny island just off-shore. At low tide, do your own mud-dash and bring your picnic to the island. The views are amazing. The house was built in 2000 by an artist who used architectural salvage for unique molding and trims.
