Cozy Historic Cottage on a Private Island / Real Old Florida/Close to Springs!

Originally built as the "cook house" for this 1890's home that at one time was a winter retreat where the owners arrived by paddle boat.

This cabin has been lovingly upgraded and restored with a kinds of fun details. You will enjoy a view of the jungle out your French doors from the kitchen or the bedroom and are welcome to enjoy the sunrise on the dock or our big front porch as well.

A wonderful weekend away

This property was amazing! The check-in was very easy, with a convenient water taxi to and from the property. There are goats, pigs, chickens, and ducks on the property and they are all very friendly. The host was great and super accomodating. This was a great stay, and I cannot recommend it enough if you’re looking for a peaceful retreat.

What a peaceful place!

My stay on Drayton Island was beautiful. This bungalow was well-appointed, very clean and had everything I needed for a getaway to recharge. The peace and quiet is unmatched, and the hosts are gracious and inviting. If you are looking for a break from rush and hurry, from sound and light pollution, you'll find it here. It's an easy ferry ride from Georgetown, but I recommend asking the hosts to provide a water taxi. Highly recommended!
