About the host

Hosted by Bob and Molly Orvis

Host profile image
My husband and I are retired and live the island lifestyle. I was a nurse and my husband worked in landscape and at different health facilities.

Why they chose this property

Our property is a duplex cottage and has been in the family since early 1900’s. There is nothing like island living!

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is a 100 yard walk to the beach. Swimming, sunbathing, playing in the sand, and beautiful sunsets are at your fingertips. We are walking distance from restaurants, downtown, a large library, water park, and gym. There is also a island trolley stop around the corner to take you where you need to go. Jet skiing and parasailing are available down the street from the cottage. On site, we have two patios (covered and uncovered) with BBQ grill, and a hammock.
