More than expected. We will be back. The view of St Andrew Bay and the adjoining fields was unexpected. We could watch the sunrise in the morning as well as the arrival of a multitude of birds including roseate Spoonbills, many egrets, gulls, terns and to cap it off a flock of Whooping cranes in the pond next door. It’s a birder’s paradise all in one place. Lot of unexpected amenities in the cabin. We enjoyed it very much.

Weekend Getaway
This was our first time staying at Goose Island Flats and it will not be our last. We hope to become regulars for our weekend getaways here. You couldn’t dream up a better view. It was best of both worlds with the peace and serenity of Mother Nature and the city activities just over the bridge. Tim and Melissa did a wonderful job of making us and our fur babies feel right at home. I will recommend this location to my friends and family for their coastal getaways!
