Stay at Carolina Moonshine
Great location, cozy little cottage right on the marina. The bed was very comfortable. My wife and I were celebrating our 41st anniversary and it was our first trip to the island. It was still the off season so it was very quiet. Food options were limited, suggest getting the club membership for another dining option. Golf cart is hard to steer and the brakes are shot. The motion light on the porch is annoying and makes sitting out there after dark impossible. That is the only thing I would change. We would definitely stay there again.

Earth Cottage
Our guest loved their stay at the Earth cottage. The harbor location can’t be beat! The cottage was very clean. The only thing that could be changed— the window above the bed lets in a lot of light from the Inn at night and could benefit from a curtain.
