Private Gazebo on an Island with boat transportation to/from and meals provided.
Private Gazebo on Island, AVAILABLE ONLY BY WATER. Your Host will pick up and drop off from local marina. Basic meals are included, Bring what you prefer, or your choice to go to local restaurants on river. Firepit, Canoes & Paddle board are also included, or schedule additional activities in advance due to availability, for a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
Sunset Cruise, Manatee Viewing Tour (in season), Scalloping or Fishing Charter Boats are all available at additional cost, from the island dock with advance notice; Message for scheduling and pricing.
While your Hosts live in Main House on this 4 acre site, the Gazebo is totally private, all connected to the dock and main house by boardwalk, with around 350 sq.ft. studio-type, floor plan. Although quieter at nighttime, this is a real working river complete with air boats, crabbers, shrimp boats as well as many recreational boaters. Island is lit at night by string lights but is a true nature lovers dream complete with Cranes, Manatees, Dolphins, Turtles, River Otters, Bald Eagles, Osprey, and Owls.
For boaters, we are very sorry, but we do not have room for additional boats at our dock (due to heavy waves, all boats must use mooring whips), and we only have room for our boats. For this reason, we provide transportation to/from island.
Don't miss out, schedule now to make sure we have availability for this one-of-a-kind island experience!
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The cabin also includes a coffee maker.

Anniversary weekend getaway
This place is amazing. The host picks you up in a pontoon boat to take you to the island so you get a lovely boat ride included. We have stayed at many VRBO places and this place was amazing. The fridge was packed with food, drinks, juice. The dinner they provided was delicious. Many coffee choices and snacks. Had a fire near the river to watch the sunset. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful getaway
My husband and I came for a relaxing getaway weekend. The home was charming and comfortable. The location couldn’t be better! We sat by the fire pit watching the sunset over the water and even did a little fishing from the shore. The property owners were nice as can be and very attentive to our needs. We will be visiting again!

“Glamping Getaway”
Absolutely incredible! Karen and Yves provided an unforgettable experience at their stunning VRBO. My wife, AJ, and I were searching for a place to disconnect together before the start of the new year, and this “Glamping Island” getaway exceeded all our expectations.From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in unmatched hospitality and tranquility. The adventure begins with a short, beautiful private boat ride to a secluded island, where the magic truly unfolds. The privacy, peacefulness, and natural beauty made it the perfect escape. We loved spotting dolphins and manatees, breathing in the fresh sea air, and soaking in the unique charm of this one-of-a-kind retreat.Yves, our Captain and host, was a true gem—so welcoming and thoughtful, ensuring every detail was perfect. This getaway was the ideal way to recharge, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly. Five stars all the way!
