We must leave the Island House in the morning and we don't want to go. Remember the feeling of those summer days in your youth that seemed to last forever, we felt that here. Comfortable accommodations, beautiful beaches, perfect weather, friendly people. I can't imagine a better way to spend your days. Thank you Ada and Ita. More

The owners were lovely and welcoming. The rates are very reasonable. The units are old and could use some upgrading but for the price it was great! We would definitely return. The AC units were cold and worked well. Beds were comfortable and clean. It is right on a beautiful beach with abundant shelling and glorious sunsets!! We actually saw... More

I want to be completely honest here, as there are some positive things about this place, but the negative ones would prevent us from returning. The first thing you notice when you arrive is that it is overgrown with shrubbery that very badly needs trimming. The outside of the building is very worn and tired looking. The management is not...

I don't know when this guest visited us but it must have been during the time that we were getting ready to do some major work, which would explain some of the issues (overgrown grass, which by the way was nowhere near 3' high, hidden sign, porch furniture, grills which have now been thrown out). I agree with this guest... More

I kind of hate to write a good review for the Island House. I've lived in Florida all my life and finally found a place that takes me back to the "old Florida" beach life of my youth, before every beach turned into a plastic Margaritaville. No T-shirt shops or bars on every corner. Just friendly, real people in a... More

Ada and Ita were very helpful before, during and after our stay. Familar with the area attractions, fishing and tips for our holiday. The apartment was clean and neat, very willing to accomodate. Have been coming to the area since 1976, first time at that end of the beach...LOVED IT! Lots of fishing, shells, sharks teeth, swimming. Good food near... More

I spent 3 days here in early December. It was stil the off season and very quiet. I did nothing but sit or walk on the beach, collecting shells and sharks' teeth, reading and watching the birds. The one-bedroom apartment wasn't fancy, but clean and comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay (including heat AND ac, as the... More

My friend and I have been taking a girls vacation for over 10 years and we can hardly wait to go to the Island house every year. The beach is so private. There are mostly residential homes surrounding it, it is so relaxing and peaceful. We have a great time fishing off the beach. The wildlife is so amazing. We... More

I stayed at the Island House for the weekend with my wife and 5 month old newborn. We found the Island House to be very comfortable, relaxing, and clean. We had a great view of the beach and really appreciated the ability to just step out to the sand. The owners were very helpful and accommodating. My wife loved the... More

This guest rented a one bedroom apartment, which is meant to accommodate two guests, and paid $600 for her stay. The day after she arrived, we noticed that at least 5 people were sleeping in the apartment and an additional 10-20 guests showed up every day to use the apartment and our private beach. At that time I spoke to... More
