Rates & Reservations

We are the best deal on the island for a 1600 square foot 2 bedroom 1 bath house and we are  one house back from the beach. We bought our house when prices were low and we don't offer expensive club memberships so we can keep costs low.

The rate is $1400 dollars per week plus 11 % sales tax or $1,554. There is a damage deposit of $500. $800 is required to confirm your reservation. The remaining $754 and the $500 damage deposit are required 31 days before the date of your stay. If you cancel more than 31 days before the date of your stay we will refund your money. There is no cancellation within 31 days of your stay and you must pay the full amount, unless we can by chance, rerent the house. With satisfactory conditions and within 31 days of your departure we will refund your damage deposit.

During the summer season, May 1 to December 15, the rate is $900 a week plus tax.

The water taxi is $35 dollars round trip per person; parking is $10 a day. The airport shuttle is $80 for the first 4 persons and $10 for each additional person. Custom trips are available.

Short notice reservations are welcome when space is available. Check back for availability as cancellations do occur.

Check In and Check Out

During the busy season when guests are leaving and arriving on the same day we may need your cooperation to make things ready on time. Generally, check in is Sunday morning or Saturday afternoon and check out is Saturday morning. If you arrive early in the afternoon we may ask you to leave your bags at the house and have fun at the beach while we complete the house preparations. Likewise, if we find something has become broken or missing we may not be able to have it replaced or repaired until the following day. We keep backups and stock on the island but there are no hardware or department stores within 4 hrs round trip.

Please arrange your arrival and departure times as soon as possible and once made keep them. Our host and hostess are paid to meet and greet you at your arranged time.

Getting trash off the island can be quite a problem. There is no Waste Management here. Sometimes we take matters into our own hands.

Fire at Island Breeze

We were upstairs when Louise yelled for me to come see. She was in the kitchen and I rushed over to see yellow flames rising above the top of the window to the South. There was a monster fire spewing flame and smoke high enough that it was higher than us at 20 feet.

We ran into the bedroom and the fire was still there in the window. It looked like it was behind the shed. We ran out and collected garden hoses and soon I was at the neighbors helping sway the flames that were melting the siding on their house.

When I got to the southeast corner of our lot there was another person trying to stop the fire. I was able to get this bit stopped and turned to leave while they went to the middle of this lot which was really blazing. Several people and the fire dept had showed up so that's where they were. I was worried about our lot as the lot South of us looked like it was getting fire and moving West of the blaze.

So then we are trying to get a longer hose but only have five-gallon buckets while getting the hoses connected as they don't reach the fire to the back yet. So finally we get the hose back and I can squirt at these running flames and sparks that ignite other tinder beyond the fire. The pepper tree actually slows the flame and soon another fire truck shows up with a big big hose.

I have forgotten to photograph anything as all my energy was to stop the flames. Luckily I did slow the West arm of it long enough for the fire truck to show up after stopping the big flames behind the neighbor's house.

Our neighbor to the East just missed it except for his shed which got the siding burned off. We just missed it because the mass of pepper tree green slowed it down and because I was able to get back to our brush pile and then the lot to the South with water where there was a small crawlable clearing. I wish we had photo's of the first flames we saw because they were so dramatic.
