The Perfect Escape!

My family and I had a wonderful time on the island- and were thrilled with Pirate’s Lair! The home is spacious and had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves! The porches were fabulous and the view of the bay was just incredible! The dock made boating daily easy! And the owner was quick to respond to any questions we had! If you’re looking for a home to house your large family and still have the peacefulness of nature all around, Pirate’s Lair is your slice of paradise!

We loved Pyrates Lair!!

I can’t say enough good things about this property or this host! The house, the view, the convenience to beach access, and the host are all amazing! I almost hate to leave this great review bc I want to be sure this house is available to us in the future! Even tho we had a rainy week, we loved watching the bay from the porches! We’ve been visiting SGI for more than 30 years and this place is in our top 3 of all time! Thanks so much to John for sharing this little slice of paradise!
