Amazing

I only have positive words for our stay at your house. The host's attention was impeccable, the house was in perfect condition, very well equipped and clean. The isolation, the surroundings of the house, the sandy paths, the proximity to the beach. The whole atmosphere is perfect for a time of disconnection and relaxation. Thank you very much.

Enjoyed it!

We had a great time! The house was very stocked and lots of amenities! Might be a good idea to write something in the caption about taking a boat taxi to the island! also a better way to make ice might be a good idea!

Great Slice of Heaven

Best stocked house we've ever stayed in!! It had every single amenity you can think of and more. Spacious and comfortable with a really cool bar space and living areas. The bottom floor outside space and upstairs porch were super nice and the new beach chairs and beach umbrellas were the best! Could not use the paddleboard because there were too many waves, but we are hoping to come back next year. Thank you for sharing your amazing property with us! Lili and family!

Amazing

This house was absolutely beautiful and extremely clean. It was updated and the home had everything you could want/need for a relaxing beach vacation. I really appreciated the top quality cooking and kitchen appliances, the super soft toilet paper (ladies you totally know what I mean), upgraded sheets and pillows. The host was timely in responding and the caretaker introduced himself within hours of us arriving. The beach was beautiful and not at all crowded. You have to take a water taxi to the island and you need to book that one week in advance. Make sure to bring all groceries with you. Although they had plenty of spices available. I will be coming back and staying here again!

Family of 5 (3 teens)

We created some lasting family memories here! Amazingly clean home stocked with everything you need, and most of what you want in terms of a day at the beach and cooking meals in the kitchen. The lower level space and outside shower were surprise highlights of our week! A few FYIs: if you don't have a boat, make water taxi reservations well in advance and plan to pay at least $80+tip each way (5 people). Also, all 3 bedrooms are on the top floor with a narrow staircase access (see photos).This was no problem for us, but might be for others. We highly recommend this home!!

This property was awesome! There is plenty of room and the beds are comfortable. We did rent a golf cart and it was a great addition to seeing the island. We enjoyed it!

Would stay again

This was the perfect house for 2 families to share. The downstairs patio and games in storage provided hours of entertainment for everyone. The maps on VRBO don’t do it justice how close it is to both the dock and the beach, you can walk to either in less than 3 minutes…we didn’t need a golf cart to get around. The property manager was very helpful and took the garbage away for us, which we’ve had to pay extra for at other properties.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

So impressed with, The Island Beach Barn! Have stayed on island several times and we have found our staple place! The property manager, Dave, was awesome and he was spot on. The Barn was stocked and so well layed out. We did not want for anything. Loved the grills and used multiple times a day . Very clean and plenty of room!! The outdoor patios was our favorite spots.

Spring Break 2024

Great house, great amenities, great kitchen supplies. Property manager was super helpful. Proximity to the dock was nice - when dragging luggage, coolers, etc it’s nice to have a short walk from dock to house. I highly recommend.

Couldn’t have asked for more!

We have been to the island several times, it’s one of our favorite places to be. This was our first time staying at this beautiful property but it won’t be our last. David, the property manager, was so nice and helpful from our arrival to the day we left. The house itself was perfect for our family of four, we have two teenage girls. The house was super clean, looked to be newly updated, nicely decorated, and well stocked with everything you could need. Aside from groceries of course, those you will need to get from the mainland before heading over on the ferry. We can’t wait to stay here and enjoy this special place again.

Nothing but great things to say about the Beach Barn!

The home was very well stocked and equipped. It had everything we needed for our 5 night stay. The home was very clean and well maintained. Dave the Property Manager was very responsive to any questions we had and made us feel welcomed. We wish we had stayed longer to explore more of the island.

Peaceful Retreat

Property was very clean, minutes from the dock and beach, and had everything we needed including a well equipped kitchen, hang out area under the dock, and accesories for the beach (sand toys, chairs, umbrellas). Our family of 5 (three teenagers) and my parents fit comfortably in the home. It was out first visit to the island and we fell in love with its charm and laid back nature.

The best all around VRBO we have ever stayed in!

The Beach Barn was beyond my expectations. Cleanliness is an important factor in staying at a VRBO with my small children. The Beach Barn was impeccable. It was perfect for our family of 5. The house has everything you could ever need in a stay on the island. 10/10 recommend!!

The perfect getaway

We love LGI and the Barn House was wonderful. It was clean, spacious, and had so many extras. It was a short, few minutes walk to the bay or beach. We had so much fun using the kayaks, the outdoor and indoor games, grills, and awesome swings. And our host, Dave, was a great help with luggage transport, suggestions, and answering all our questions.

My family and I stayed a week at the barn house. It was one of the cleanest homes we’ve stayed in, this being our 4th year at the island. It is a beautiful home and literally has everything needed. We definitely look forward to more stays here in the future!
