We thoroughly enjoyed this home and its surroundings! The home was well stocked with everything we could possibly need and more. We brought our groceries with us, but other than that everything was provided! This home is not in a touristy area (which is why we loved it!), so be prepared to bring most grocery items with you. However, there is a Dollar General and a Family Dollar a few miles down the road for basic necessities. There was only one restaurant in the area plus a few food trucks, so we cooked our meals at home most nights. The fishing is great off the back dock, especially at night under the green lights. We loved watching the barges go by, seeing a pod of dolphins swim down the canal, and watching the ever-changing conditions on the "beach" in front of the house. The beach is not a traditional sandy beach because of the revetment wall that has been installed to preserve the island. But this is one of the reasons the island has remained somewhat isolated from the large crowds, so we were happy to forego the sand for the peace and quiet! Karen was an amazing host and corresponded with us several times prior to our arrival and during our stay. She was quick to answer all questions that I posed and offered amazing tips on the local area and fishing culture. We also loved the layout of the house, which offered plenty of space for us to spread out! The "cuckoo's nest" was a neat attraction and one that offers an unparalleled 360 degree view of the island!
