About this lodge

This private island vacation rental is located an hour East of San Fransisco in the California Delta close to Discovery Bay.
It offers an array of cabins totaling 7 bedrooms, 8 baths, and a central lodge with a large kitchen. This is the ideal place for boating, fishing, water sports, swimming, campfires, or exploring the 1.3 mile private island loop. With plenty to do on and off the island, make this your next vacation spot! Perfect for large families, Groups of friends, or corporate events.
NOTE!! This is an Island, and is not directly accessible by car.
If you do not have a boat there are many boat rental companies in the area. The most popular for our guests is CB rentals in Discovery Bay. They have a collection of platform boats that are great for groups, and there the rates are very reasonable. Many of our guests have said renting from them was a great experience!

There are around 60 goats & sheep, on the island that help control the vegetation. They are friendly & adorable, and may come up to you to say ‘HI’. If you have a dog, you need to be carful and keep them in control around the goats.

We had an amazing multi generational weekend at Faye Island! Quick 15 min boat ride from Discovery Bay or short 10 min ride from Bullfrog Marina where your guests can park for free! Accommodations were plentiful, well appointed and clean. Everything was accurately depicted on VRBO listing. We had a wide range of ages from 84 to 6 months and this property had something for everyone! I can’t rave enough about how wonderful this property is. We’re definitely coming back next year!

Our family of 4 generations, ages 12-90, all had a great time on Fay Island. We all had our own cabins which were very comfortable. The kids swam off the dock, hiked around the property and really enjoyed the canoes that were there. It was peaceful and we enjoyed the birds and otters that we saw. The fishing was great. We even had our own private air show as the planes were practicing right over our heads. Communications with the owner and caretaker were great. No problems. The kids voted to rent Fay Island again next year!

This was our third stay at the island, and it did not disappoint again! We had seven adults and 10 kids for two nights of endless fun and adventure. The island is a magical place.

We LOVED our stay at Fay Island! We had a large group of friends all stay for a long weekend and we had a blast. The island has it all - comfy beds, large kitchen, big dock to hang out on, BBQs, large pots and pans for cooking, and a beautiful trail around the perimeter of the island. The house was extremely well stocked for fun in the water with floaties, kayaks, and life jackets. There was a pump to blow up the floaties, and a big speaker to use. The kitchen and living room is in a separate structure than the bedrooms, which we loved so that people could go to bed at any time and the folks that wanted to stay up didn’t have to worry about disturbing the people sleeping. We rented a pontoon boat from CB’s pontoon boats and they were also amazing, and helped us with gear transfers too.

Such a great property for a family reunion. Plenty of space to be enjoyed together or to spread out. We had an infant, kids, teens and adults, and all had a great time. The goats are super friendly and fun. We will definitely be back!

This is our second year staying at Fay Island for our family summer vacation. What a special and unique vacation rental. Easily accommodates our group of over 20. It’s a wonderful location for the boaters and nature lovers. We love having everyone together. We will definitely be back!!

Fay Island is the perfect spot for a large group to stay on the delta. It has all the amenities you need, including inner-tubes, kayaks, fully stocked kitchen, outdoor deck with grills, etc. It’s on the fast water so you can do sports right from the house. I couldn’t recommend this place more for a large group, you will seriously have so much fun.

This place is not fancy but it has everything you need and then some. The island to yourself is such an experience. The owner and property manager are extremely accommodating. We were a group of 20 and everyone had their own space to get away from the chaos or the lodge to join in the chaos! We played games, took nature walks, did a little skeet shooting, boating, jet skiing and much more! We have already started planning our next stay. :)
