This was our 3rd year staying at Fay Island with our extended families. Always a wonderful time being right on the water and plenty of space for our group of 20
Several families gathered to celebrate Labor Day weekend to enjoy this beautiful island on the Delta! We brought our ski boat and fishing poles and were literally in heaven on earth!
We loved our stay!! Vibes are immaculate, beds are comfy, the space is well laid out for a large group, and the owners are very responsive. We rented a pontoon boat from CB’s. We’ll be back next year!
This was our third stay at the island, and it did not disappoint again! We had seven adults and 10 kids for two nights of endless fun and adventure. The island is a magical place.
Save the air trip to Montana and come here for a peaceful ranch experience. The stress of the Bay Area fades as you approach the dock. Starlink WiFi lets you stay in touch with blinding speed if you choose to check in. Otherwise, fish, hike, goat watch, barbecue, stargaze, fire pits….
This is our second year staying at Fay Island for our family summer vacation. What a special and unique vacation rental. Easily accommodates our group of over 20. It’s a wonderful location for the boaters and nature lovers. We love having everyone together. We will definitely be back!!
Such a great property for a family reunion. Plenty of space to be enjoyed together or to spread out. We had an infant, kids, teens and adults, and all had a great time. The goats are super friendly and fun. We will definitely be back!
We enjoyed using the fully-equipped kitchen and bbq, the kayaks, lifevests, and fishing gear and had so so so much fun! Truly, it is a one-of-a-kind place on earth; what an exceptional location to celebrate a 40th!
Fay Island is the perfect spot for a large group to stay on the delta. It has all the amenities you need, including inner-tubes, kayaks, fully stocked kitchen, outdoor deck with grills, etc. It’s on the fast water so you can do sports right from the house. I couldn’t recommend this place more for a large group, you will seriously have so much fun.
What a great relaxing place to stay for a weekend retreat. Spacious property, quiet, and scenic. Jayson, the property manager was super accommodating, and welcoming. Can’t wait to book again in a few years. Well worth every penny.
Since five of our family graduates graduated the same weekend and couldn’t attend each other’s celebrations, we celebrated at Fay Island for one week. Fay Island offered accommodations for 24 people, which was perfect for our group size.- Very private with friendly goats.- Cottages and platform houses for lodging with AC.- Main Lodge/Kitchen area had excellent air conditioning and was able to comfortably accommodate everyone for three meals a day.- Boating from large platform docks afforded easy accessibility to ski boats and pontoon boat. - Convenient close by marina for gas.- Excellent communication with Host and Caretaker.
We have scheduled a 40th birthday gathering at Fay Island in June, so we did a test/reconnaissance stay there this week. It was super, and we look forward to the next visit. So peaceful and comfortable... and the owners have big plans for future improvements. We loved it.
What an amazing property and fun island all to ourselves!!
We absolutely loved this unique property. Being right on the water with tons of toys provided was so much fun for the kids and the adults loved the privacy, the many many sleeping cabins and room options, grilling on the back deck watching the sun set, and just generally spending quality time together in an idyllic setting. Staff was amazing and helpful, zero issues. Thank you, we will all want to return many times!
My friends and I had a blast staying at Fay Island. It was so great and fun to have the whole island to ourselves. We got to enjoy the sunshine, jump into the river, and explore the nature there. One night the goats even came to say hello to us near their pen! The rooms and cabins were very comfortable and there was more than enough space for everyone. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique and adventurous experience.
It can be a struggle to find places to stay that can accommodate large groups, but I think we have found the holy grail! Fay Island easily housed our family of 20. The layout was great and felt very spacious. Obviously the docks with access to fast water was absolutely amazing, but the island provide a lot of fun as well. Morning/evening walks, tons of wildlife (including friendly goats), fire pit, games, etc.
Our group would highly recommend. We can’t wait to come back next year!
We had an amazing multi generational weekend at Faye Island! Quick 15 min boat ride from Discovery Bay or short 10 min ride from Bullfrog Marina where your guests can park for free! Accommodations were plentiful, well appointed and clean. Everything was accurately depicted on VRBO listing. We had a wide range of ages from 84 to 6 months and this property had something for everyone! I can’t rave enough about how wonderful this property is. We’re definitely coming back next year!
My family and friends stayed at the island for three nights recently and had an amazing time! The cabins comfortably slept 10 children and 5 adults with room to spare. We enjoyed tons of boating, floating on the magic carpet, paddle boating, walking the island, and looking at the beautiful sunsets. The kitchen is very stocked as well. This was the ultimate rental to feel far away from it all and have an island all to yourself!
We have been enjoying Fay Island for years hosting our annual retreat. Since it has been converted to a formal VRBO, there have been numerous upgrades that enhance what is already a spectacular property. We brought a private chef who enjoyed the numerous options for cooking, grilling, and smoking. We planned meals to reflect the Duck Club history. Sunsets are spectacular.
The caretaker on the island did a great job with a few of our unanticipated needs.
It was a perfect retreat.
I brought 17 girls 10-18 here for the week! We had a wonderful time.
It is great to have a private place where we can let the girls roam free without worrying about strangers coming around. We spent a lot of time each afternoon swimming, floating and kayaking.
The kitchen is well stocked and was able to handle the 27 of us.
Sunrises and sunsets are so pretty.
Hope to come stay again someday.
