About this property

Boat access only rental on private island

Welcome to “Happily ever after” the last place you will need to go on vacation. Guests are sure to enjoy a memorable time in our 2 bedroom/1 bath cottage. The living room is furnished with handmade wood accent pieces. The kitchen is perfect for the chef equipped with stove, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, coffee percolator, Keurig, pots and pans, plenty of Corning and bakeware. There is a community dock steps away. when you depart the water taxi (pirates water taxi call for reservations in advance 941-697-5777, dock 75 and a concierge to take you and your groceries to our home. (Bret 941-223-4548 $25 plus tip!) Once inside you will find the items you need to enjoy yourself. We include toiletries in our elaborate outside maze shower, paper products, kitchen staples, condiments and a complimentary bottle of wine or two, noodles, beach chairs, and beach towels. We are walking distance to the beach so a cart isn’t required but far enough away to enjoy our private treehouse. Cart rental available. We are not on a main cart path and privacy and solitude are always available. Our screen porch is always comfortable with chairs, futon, bistro table and trees everywhere! You can fish from dock or beach, Just don’t forget your bait. Games, books, craft items are there for your use and gives everyone something to do when you need to avoid the sun for a couple hours! We have a dedicated beach boardwalk that takes you over the sand and deposits you on the beach. If we forgot anything we are only a phone call or text away.

About the host

Hosted by Michele Matsuk

Host profile image
We are originally from Ventnor, NJ a small beach community so this island is almost a remake of our home town.

What makes this property unique

Instead of beach view our home is a treehouse! Built with love and lots of natural elements. Mostly of our own creation. We love to make and decorate to suit us which makes our cottage a homey vacation.
