    We felt honored the place was available and we could stay here. This was a comfortable home with space for everyone to spread out. The view was amazing. Bunnie was a seasoned host; she was responsive, concerned and accommodating. We would rent from her again and would stay in this home again. Thank you for the opportunity to use your home.

    This home was a perfect spot for our family during a wedding weekend! The views are incredible; the interior furnishings are beautiful and comfortable, and the host was friendly and accommodating to all our questions and requests. I highly recommend this lovely vacation rental.

    House was everything as described and more. Floor plan is great. The sunset views are amazing. Owner was extremely responsive and helpful. There’s lots of room to spread out. There’s a little den near the bedrooms that can be closed off. My 12 year old son put an air mattress in it to have his own room, even though there were more than enough beds. Everyone was comfortable on our multigenerational vacation.

    My three generations enjoyed two full weeks at Figure Eight Island and never felt like we were on top of one another or in each other's way. This is a huge house with lots of room to spread out! As promised, we did see dolphins dancing in the channel behind the house and our children enjoyed late afternoon swims off the dock. The kitchen is well-stocked and we cooked most of our meals in, spending long days on the beach and leisurely evenings in the house. We had excellent communication with the owner and she was responsive to the issues we encountered. The biggest negative is that the basement bedrooms are musty; I would recommend keeping both dehumidifiers running all the time. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed the opportunity to vacation with all our family together.

    Owner of this property was the most helpful in suggestions from fishing to eating locations etc. Very short walk to the beach and that was awesome as so few people on the beach so truly a relaxing experience. Great area to dock the boat and run out to fish at anytime. Actually fishing from the dock was great too.

    We had a large group of family and friends for Thanksgiving week. The house was perfect for this type of getaway. We cooked thanksgiving dinner for 15 without a problem. Everyone loved the visit. Marsh views and sunsets were spectacular.
