Hurricane update: Despite the recent hurricanes, our property is in great condition, and our secluded dead-end street has fully recovered. The beaches are still pristine and in excellent condition, and the popular Rum Bay restaurant is open, ready to welcome guests. We did experience damage to the long dock which is CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE; however, the smaller "secret" dock and kayak launch are fully usable. All other amenities and features including the pool and spa are fully ready for your visit. It's still a perfect time to enjoy the island's charm and tranquility.
