Lovely home with great views of the nature preserve and the water. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and a choice of eating locations. We had early coffee on the screened in porch off the living room, watching boats move up the canal and birds skim the preserve’s tree tops. We often finished the day on the back deck around a large glass table watching the sun set. The pool deck was amazing with ample chairs and tables surrounding a heated pool with a grill, ping-pong table, and a bar with enough seating to accommodate 6 of us comfortably. We climbed the crow’s nest in the evening where we simultaneously watched sun set and moon rise. Great space for gathering family but with multiple cozy spots for quiet time.

Our family and friends had an amazing time at Rum Cove and would definitely visit again in the future. There is a lot more planning than you realize that go into staying at Rum Cove and the communication with both the property manager and the maintenance gentleman who was the homes prior owner was amazing. They were SO accommodating and helped us resolve some minor issues quickly. We Love Rum Cove and the island experience
