Great time on the island
The home is beautiful, the island is quiet. We went during the off season, and enjoyed the slow pace.

Small business retreat
Our work team visited for a retreat. The property and the island were a perfect chance to reset and recharge. Fall is absolutely beautiful there. Our group of 6 women and 3 men had plenty of privacy and room to sleep. The cottage is beautifully decorated and appointed!

Perfection on KI
This property and its owner provide perfection on KI. First, the property and house are adorable and stocked with everything needed to enjoy the stay on the island. The location is amazing. The outdoor patio and firepit area allows for morning coffee and nighttime stargazing. The house is decorated with care and provides the feel of Island time. It is clean, spacious and full of amenities. The second building is a wonderful 2 person suite decorated with the same island vibe. Joe, the property owner, is wonderful to work with. He can answer questions promptly, provide a local’s knowledge of the island and is super helpful. Our entire party loved every aspect of this property. We will be back to KI and will definitely stay here again.

Great Stay
This house is absolutely beautiful. Our family really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to others. Joe was very helpful and informative. Super super cute home! The only recommendation would be a bigger trash can in the garage. Other than that, we really enjoyed our time here. Thanks Joe for allowing us to enjoy this piece of paradise.

Excellent weekend house
Our group was 9 adults 40+ y/o. The house was perfect! Beautifully decorated, great group spaces inside and out. Everything was very clean and check in was a breeze. Owner reached out to make sure we were good. My only recommendation would be to have a larger garbage can in the garage. Plan to return in the future!
