“We stayed in Cabana 6. Although they are close together you don’t feel crowded. Sitting on the porch looking at the water you could be the only person on the island. From early morning coffee and fish spotting to pre-dinner cocktails and the sunset. You can’t go wrong. The sound of the birds at dusk settling in for the night can’t be described! We were lucky enough to witness a lightning storm over the mainland one night. The light streaking from one side to the other. Simply gorgeous! The inside is cozy and clean. The bed was comfortable. A/c worked great. If you are on this island you want to be outside! There are so many beautiful spots to sit and relax!” –Maryellen
