Wonderful Birthday Getaway
We spent a long weekend at Island in This Dream for a birthday getaway, and are so pleased to have found this hidden gem. From the wonderful location, the beautifully decorated and stocked home, and the amenities for our fur babies, we could not have asked for more. This was our first visit to OKI, and we will definitely be back. Thank you Scott and Kerby for sharing your wonderful home!!!

Wonderful Stay!
We had a wonderful time at Island In This Dream. The location was very convenient to the beach and getting into town, the house was very clean and provided all the amenities we needed, Scott was an excellent host and I look forward to recommending this to our friends and family when they come to visit us.
We worked remotely from the house and didn't have any connectivity issues and there was space for both of us to have a desk/work space. And we loved having the fenced in backyard for our dog to run around in.
