We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It was great to be secluded in the woods, yet just down the road from the beach. We loved the outdoor shower, rinsing off our puppy was so convenient The cottage was equipped with everything we needed. We look forward to visiting again!

Celebrated a 50th bday. Thank you for sharing your beach home.

It was everything we needed and so much more! Very well kept property. Very private! Everything was so easy to get to. We definitely recommend staying here! Communication with property owner/manager was on point. Thank you!!!

Me and my wife have been there three times and we just booked it again for October. This is our little paradise getaway. The place is always clean and very well maintained every time we go there is some little change that has made to upgraded the place. It has a very nice Outside porch where you can have your coffee and breakfast every morning in the beautiful breeze from the gulf,you go downstairs in the outside porch and you feel like you're in a whole other world, coconuts, wind, chimes, and colorful beach decor all around you. Not to mention the sound of the ocean you can hear throughout the day. Thank you Glen and Lawson for being a great host.

Loved the way this property was nestled in the trees. It felt like we were vacationing in a treehouse just a short walk from the beach.

Everything was absolutely perfect. The outdoor area is very secluded and enjoyable. We loved everything about the property and would highly recommend staying here.

We came here with another couple to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. The house was absolutely adorable and beachy. I loved the wind chimes and succulents. The fenced in yard was awesome for my dog. She loved running around and listening to the roosters in the morning. The house itself was very well stocked. We also enjoyed the large outdoor shower. The couch was super comfortable too. The walk to the beach was not bad at all. We love SGI so much and this house was perfect for us. We would recommend this house and would book again. Thanks!

Arrived and settled in with 2 dogs. We didn't have a schedule or itinerary....Island Secret allowed us to relax without a care. Pups loved the fence yard and our walks. Kitchen had everything you would need. Enjoyed it very much!

We normally stay on 30 A. My husband found this amazing place, pet friendly. It did not disappoint. Everything was on point. Owner was very responsive and the place was well maintained and very clean. Everything you need and well stocked. The yard was like a mint paradise. The outdoor shower was definitely a plus! Located close to the beach access and the Piggly Wiggly grocery store. Our dogs are like our family and they loved the beach and fenced in yard. It has perfect sitting area outside to chill and enjoy with lots of greenery and trees. I’m very particular about where we stay and I can tell you there is not one thing I would change about this place. It truly was a small paradise! Of all my places we have stayed, this place is my favorite. You will not be disappointed.

It is a true jewel. My sister and i and 2 dashounds stayed for 4 nights.we walked to the beach every day a very short walk. The cottage was absolutely perfect. Not the cookie cutter condo or hotel room . A true beach cottage.we will be planning to make it a tradition. The host was awesome. You could tell their hearts are in it. I loved it, so did my pups and sister. Very clean and very well maintained. Great memories!!!!! Beautiful sunrises .

This cute cottage offers privacy, a short walk to the beach, and a place for pups. The kitchen was well appointed. The love sack couch made lounging way too easy! 😉 The screened in porch off the bedroom on the bottom level was delightful. Having breakfast on the deck off the main room was peaceful. My only complaint was that our stay was too short. The fenced in yard for the dogs was on point. Thank you for providing clean and comfortable accommodations. I highly recommend a stay at this island cottage!

enjoyed hanging to and catching up. Very low key Island.

We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It was great to be secluded in the woods, yet just down the road from the beach. The cottage was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. We look forward to visiting again!

This was our second time staying at Island Secret. Each time we leave, im ready to plan my next visit. The oitdoor space is gorgous and private. Its like an oasis in the middle of the island. The hosts are kind and responsive. They have thought of everything to give you a relaxing and unique beach vacation experience. We will return again soon, I hope!

We had a wonderful stay at “Island Secret!” This place is decorated so beautifully with so many beachy and unique decorations. The many wind chimes outside sounded so lovely in the evening breeze. We even enjoyed the rainy days! The surrounding plants and trees make it private yet it’s close to everything you need. We loved taking the short walk to the beautiful beach. This was our first trip to the island and we quickly discovered the island is family friendly and everyone we encountered was laid back and friendly. We also loved that there were no chain stores nearby and everything seems to be locally owned small businesses. BJs pizza is the best pizza we’ve ever had! Glenn, our host was super quick to respond with questions after we booked and during our stay. Thank you!

This lovely cottage was only 2 blocks from the beach. Beautiful deck to sit and visit or have morning coffee. Plenty of dishes and kitchen items, keurig and coffee maker. Loved the outdoor shower. Lots of privacy and felt like a tropical paradise.

Our stay at "Island Secret" was delightful. The prime location, close to the beach and town, made daily excursions effortless. The eclectic décor, wind chimes, and bright coastal-themed interior created a playful ambiance and a cozy retreat on rainy days. The well-maintained yard with beautiful trees, shrubs, and succulents made the outdoor space inviting. The fully-stocked kitchen and outdoor grills helped us satisfy our seafood cravings after visiting the local seafood markets. Choosing Island Secret for its pet-friendly policy was a great decision. Our Weimaraners loved the freedom of the yard after a long car trip. The hosts' accommodating approach made our vacation inclusive, allowing us to create fun memories with our pups. The low-key, unpretentious neighborhood enhanced the overall appeal, perfectly aligning with the relaxed vibe of our getaway. Island Secret, a hidden gem, seamlessly blended comfort, coastal charm, and pet-friendly hospitality. Whether a beachgoer, seafood enthusiast, or dog lover, this VRBO rental offers an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely stay. The place was well stocked with lovely decor and comfy beds, couches. The yard was fenced for the pups to run around. They even had spices in the cabinets for cooking. This place was super close to everything and we rode our bikes into town and to the beach. Only a few block from the beach down 8th if you want to walk. We will definitely be back. This is our new favorite place to stay.

Very quiet and just steps to the beach! We loved the style and comfort of the home.

The hosts were so easy to work with and this spot is a true gem on SGI. My doggies and I enjoyed the privacy, but also being so close to the beach. Gorgeous stay and will be back hopefully in the future!!

Great place private well stocked kitchen excellent location will return

We enjoyed our stay, thank you!

The property owner was extremely helpful and responsive. Thank you for making our stay pleasant and easy!

Felt relaxed and dogs had the best vacation ever. :)

Perfect place for a fall getaway

The decor was fun and functional. We had everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed the porch in the trees and the fenced yard for our dog. This one exceeded our expectations!

Glenn and Lawson are the best - their property is a reflection of this. This was it 3rd or 4th time staying, and seeing the Christmas decoration made the place even cozier.

We had a nice time visiting this very unique hideaway on the island. The decorating is so fun! I loved the little room and adjoining screened in porch on the bottom level. I would love to come back!

My family and pups really enjoyed our time at Island Secret. The house is very comfortable and colorful, with a well equipped kitchen and plenty of fenced space for our pups to run. The home is easy walking to the beach and gulf sides of the island and not far from island center with restaurants and other activities. The owners/managers were very responsive to requests and questions. We did not use the downstairs, but the extra space would be nice for a larger family or group. We had a great time!

Enjoyed the cottage, clean, private and had everything we needed…enjoyed our stay

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Island Secret. Very cozy, private and peaceful. I really enjoyed sitting on the deck in the mornings drinking coffee and relaxing with nature. Would highly recommend it!

Convenient location on island, minutes from the beach! Beautiful property, upstairs deck feels like a treehouse in the best way! Fenced for pets, too!
