A great getaway spot

We very much enjoyed our stay. Great place to unplug and lay low. Rustic but very comfortable. The island is gorgeous. Note that this is pretty remote. Outside of the other few houses on the island, there’s nothing else on the island (which was a draw for us). Only accessible by boat - we’re not boat owners but were able to easily find a great box taxi. We’d definitely (and likely will) book again. Thanks Stan & Elle for sharing your place!

Remote and primitive

We enjoyed our stay on the island. Lots of wildlife including a great horned owl, gopher tortoises, dolphins and manatees. The house is primitive, but comfortable. There was no oven or microwave, the water pump has a problem so that it would continually trip off during a shower, The toilet cannot handle toilet paper, so toilet paper has to be put in the waste basket. WiFi was not working, The bed was comfortable. We enjoyed the screened porch with the hammock. The golf car a must to get to the beach (3/4 mile). Red tide was a problem while we were there, so we didn’t swim and we didn’t see anyone else in the water.

Gorgeous, clean, and PERFECT

A paradise for those looking to disconnect and relax!The hosts met us at their convenient, private dock with a vehicle to help us haul our gear. Stan was friendly, informative, and very funny! He showed us the property while switching into a delightful dialect that was both relaxing and informative. He also helped up find a captain before our trip (Captain Chris!), find fishing spots, and filled us in on all the important insider knowledge of the island! We loved the golf cart-- it was a blast to explore the island!!The rental itself was perfect for our needs. We are previous Cayo-Costa State Park campers and wanted to enjoy the island with modern amenities. We appreciated the beach gear, food fillers, and fishing advice!! We had absolutely clean everything and the home itself is full of natural light, a beautiful breeze, and rustic charm. We caught fish, explored the island, visited Cornelius, and reconnect as a family in paradise!Our son turned 12 years old in the kitchen of this rental... It is one of the most beautiful memories I have in this world! 5 of 5 stars.Thank you Elle and Stan--

Cayo Costa Family Vacation

Our family had a wonderful time on Cayo Costa. Stan and Ellie were great and helped answer all of our questions and get us acclimated to the property. We thoroughly enjoyed the beach, shelling, and fishing. Really looking forward to getting back!

Getting away from it all.

After having been to the island a couple of times via ferry for day visits, my 2 friends and I decided to look into the possibility of a place in which to stay for a few nights. Although rough camping sites and even cabins are available, we preferred something a little more “civilized”. Luckily we found this rental, and had a wonderful experience. Having just come from 3 weeks in Key West, the solitude was absolute bliss. Beaches were virtually deserted, the qu
