Vacation savior!

Karin and her beach condo are both gems! After getting stuck in a terrible property that was bug ridden, dirty and had no AC, I thought our vacation was ruined…. But Karin jumped in to the rescue to save our family vacation! Her condo was cute, clean and exactly what we needed! It was so nice to come back from boating and the beach to such a lovely place! We’ll certainly be back! Thank you again!!

As close to heaven as you can get.

The condo is perfect with great views from the lanai. Everything you need is there. The ferry is great if you have to leave for any reason-but who would want to leave? The beach is quiet and gorgeous. Karin is wonderful to work with. We loved our stay and can't wait to come back.

Return to Paradise!!

This was a return trip for us, and it did not disappoint. We love the atmosphere of this perfect little island where you can truly get away from it all. Karin's condo is located in an amazing spot, only steps from the beach. Everyone in the family has their own idea of a perfect beach getaway, and this fits the bill for all. Morning sunrise walks on the beach; looking for shells and shark teeth; playing in the ocean waves; spotting dolphins swimming down the coast; watching sunsets and seeing the stars in the beautiful night sky. What I like most is being able to do as little or as much as you want. You can ride the ferry back and forth to the mainland or just bring over groceries and stay put for an entire week. It's so quiet and lovely without all the distractions of life that we are usually surrounded by. The condo is very cozy and perfectly furnished as a home away from home. We will always look forward to returning to this little slice of paradise. Thanks Karin for sharing your amazing space!

One Stop Vacay!

First off, one of the absolute best property owners I have had the privilege of working with. Karin was responsive on the app, as well as text. Property was cleaned, stocked and roomy for 3 adults and 3 kiddos. We fished, hiked to Gone Inn (amazing art), collected shark teeth and of course lounged around on the beach. The locals we super nice and told us a few tricks for fishing. The captains for the ferry boat were absolutely amazing. Mike was very patient with my 7 year old who kept asking a million plus questions and helped him find fiddler crabs. Would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants to get away, relax and take a moment to just be in the moment and not worry about the bustling around. Thanks Karin for sharing your place with my family and I!

Best kept secret hideaway

As others have said, leaving an honest review opens the door for others to find paradise. Our host was so very gracious. She even texted me times to catch the best sunsets and when to catch the best colors in the sky. She was not wrong, some of the most beautiful sunsets I have witnessed. The permanent residents of the island were so inviting and friendly, my family and I truly felt like we belonged. No traffic noise, no loud neighbors, no crowded beaches... It really is an oasis. So excited to go back for another stay.

Unforgettable Family Vacation

We spent a little over 2 weeks here with our 3 young children (ages 5, 3, and 7 months). Our kids loved hopping back and forth from the beach to the pool, fishing off the docks, and trying to catch lizards. Everyone we met was very friendly and we were blessed with excellent weather. Would definitely recommend to other families with little ones!

The closest thing to a caribbean getaway

My family and I had a wonderful stay at LGI. If you are looking for a place to get away from the everyday hustle and bustle of the world this is your place. Keep in mind this is a small island not a strip with bars and night clubs. You can always take the ferry (only means to and from the island unless you own a boat) to the mainland for that. If you want to truly get away and enjoy the beauty of white sand beaches and the crystal blue Gulf you will not be disappointed. Our condo had a cute beach theme and Karin our renter was as nice as could be sending us messages as we arrived and after we left inquiring about our time. To keep the island pristine the only vehicles are golf carts to get around the island which can be rented but you are only a short walking distance to most areas on the island. And if you or family members can't go to long without familiar creature comforts there is cable TV and WI-FI on the island as well. So grab your fishing pole if that's your thing or just comb the beach for seashells and crabs you will love this simple island paradise. If your lucky you might end up swimming next to some dolphins.!

Even though we didn't have the warmest weather (still better than the snow at home!), we had an amazing time! We traveled with two adults and 3 kids under 9 years old. They absolutely loved it!
