We highly recommend this island property. This was our second stay there, eight years apart. It was just as we had remembered it and had even had some improvements I hadn’t realized it needed but they were appreciated none the less. You just spend the entire week wishing you could move there permanently. Eight years ago we had a toddler as our youngest and several grandparents with us. This time we had a ten year old and teenagers. All age groups work great! We hope to go back soon and will try to do two weeks next time!

Truly special family vacation - rustic luxury on Mark Island

We could not have had a better experience during our 2-week family vacation in August 2024. The owners Jim and Beverly are lovely people - incredibly warm and welcoming hosts. The photos don't fully convey what a beautiful house they have built. There is a main house connected to a second structure via a covered terrace. Our kids and guests stayed in one house, while my wife and I enjoyed having some of our own space. The construction is a work of art. Beautiful, reclaimed wood and solid hardware built with an eye for detail. It is comfortable yet luxurious. Nice places to sit, well equipped kitchen, new air-condition, pool table, terraces, grill, and reliable high-speed internet. 80MB down, 20MB up. We enjoyed having lots of dock space, a bay for swimming, terrace for BBQ. We made fires at night, hiked all over Mark Island, and enjoyed the home when it rained. We cannot recommend this home more highly. We loved it. Thank you for such an amazing stay at your beautiful home.

Fantastic

Island rentals are often a logistical challenge but the owner could not have made things easier. Very helpful and flexible. Location is great!
