Twelve rooms are available in our Island House. This is a stilt building with a central hallway dividing the six waterview rooms and the six non-waterview rooms. You can choose from a variety of bed types: either one King waterview; one Queen waterview; two Queens non-waterview; one Queen non-waterview; two Twins (singles) non-waterview; or three Twins non-waterview. Ask about which rooms offer an adjoining door option. The waterview rooms in the Island House all have a small balcony with an incredible upstairs view, facing west, towards the tropical, Pine Island Sound ecosystem. Simply breathtaking!

Tucked within our 1926 historic house, you'll find eight charming rooms, most of which have the original, beautiful hardwood floors. Some rooms are upstairs and some are downstairs, all having convenient access to our restaurant and lounge. Choices include Queen bed waterview rooms; two Queen beds non-waterview; one Queen bed non-waterview; or two Twins non-waterview. Experience a piece of history in this old gem!

As with the Cottage, guests feel that they've found the perfect home-away-from-home in this restored 1926 Boathouse.

This efficiency has one bedroom with a King bed & one bedroom with a Queen bed and a queen pullout couch & coffee table.
