This is a hidden GEM! What an amazing little piece of paradise. No paved roads, just as close as you can get to the 1800’s Florida. Abundance of wild life surrounded by tropical plants. We saw deer, turkeys, alligators. Armadillo, chickens and ducks. We would definitely stay there again. Owners and hosts were excellent! Highly recommend this cozy cottage on Drayton Island.

This property was amazing! The check-in was very easy, with a convenient water taxi to and from the property. There are goats, pigs, chickens, and ducks on the property and they are all very friendly. The host was great and super accomodating. This was a great stay, and I cannot recommend it enough if you’re looking for a peaceful retreat.

My stay on Drayton Island was beautiful. This bungalow was well-appointed, very clean and had everything I needed for a getaway to recharge. The peace and quiet is unmatched, and the hosts are gracious and inviting. If you are looking for a break from rush and hurry, from sound and light pollution, you'll find it here. It's an easy ferry ride from Georgetown, but I recommend asking the hosts to provide a water taxi. Highly recommended!
