Great house for pets

The house is set up to allow pets. No carpeting, very private and quiet and our dogs did great here when we left to fish on the beach, which is a short walk down the road.The house is not fancy but had everything we needed and extremely clean.Just an FYI - there were no toiletries or beach towels so bring your own if you stay.Owner was very quick to respond with my questions.

Charm and Character

In our current island world of high rise homes on stilts which are sorely lacking in charm and character, this delightful little cottage is a gem.

privacy!

It was great to be so close to the beach and still have so much privacy! Loved the outdoor shower! It was perfect for the 2 of us and our pup, but personally I would have been uncomfortable if we were traveling with anyone else as we needed the spare bedroom to store our stuff, that and only 1 bathroom

Lovin’ me some Papa

First time stay and loved it! I have vacationed at the island for 12 years. This year, I needed something all on one level for my senior dog. Papa Shack was perfect! Cozy, comfortable and I loved the naturally enclosed yard. It was like my own private oasis. Nicely equipped and furnished. Will be back!!

Wonderful Hidden Gem

First time VRBO user. Wonderful experience. Will use VRBO and would rent this cottage again. We were there for our 30th anniversary and it fit the bill perfectly. Within easy distance of the beach, birding and wonderful food.

Natural beauty

Great place nestled in some beautiful coastal scrub, very private and quiet. Short walk to beach. We rented a golf cart which was fun and a great way to check out the environs. Very clean and all the amenities were there. Loved the place and was a perfect place for our four.

Quiet & Comfortable

The place was clean and neat, and it had all that was needed for a comfortable stay. A small suggested improvement, would be to install screens on the East & West window on the sun-porch so that evening breezes could be enjoyed without bugs intruding...

A FABULOUS property

This is the cutest bungalow, well done, well supplied, very clean, perfect location, very private and pretty property inside and outside. The owner was VERY easy to work and communicative. We had a great time on SGI and this property was perfect. We highly recommend staying here for a small family or even a couple ❤️

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this sweet little spot with our pups. Sometimes it made us feel like we were in a different world when we cut the lights on outside by the fire pit. We hope to stay here again in the future.
