We (3 generations) stayed here in three rooms on the 1st floor a few weeks back (May 2013) for a nearby wedding. What a great location. Just a short drive south to restaurants but far enough away so you do not feel you are in a tourist area. It is very close to the beach and we could hear the... More

My husband and I come back year after year!!!!! We love the location, fishing, shells, sharks teeth,cozy rooms, and very quiet location. We love the owners-They always have everything we need for our vacation. And we really like we can bring our baby puppy with us. Thank you!!!

My family stayed here for 10 days over Christmas 2011 and had a great time. Staff was very accomodating. Site is near major attractions and the beach is absolutely the best!!! We are looking forward to our 2013 Family Christmas vacation at the Island House again this year!!

We stayed at the Island House on the Beach for two weeks over the Christmas Holiday. Ita and Ada are such wonderful people. They are so accomodating and attentive to the needs of the guests. It was great to see them there every day attending to the grounds. Our unit was the perfect getaway for us. Being right on the... More

Precious Gem on beautiful beach. We booked a unit for only the 4th of July and hated to leave. Units have everything that you need and the hosts are truly wonderful people. The most fireworks we have ever seen on any beach any year. We were also extremely fortunate and had what we consider a once in a lifetime experience.... More

Island House on the Beach is a great place to vacation. With only six units, you don't have the hustle of a motel or condo. Ada and Ita were very accomodating and simply just wonderful people. We saw Manatee's each day traveling down the coastline for food, tarpon jumping and just a huge variety of shells, sharksteeth and fossils. The... More

We must leave the Island House in the morning and we don't want to go. Remember the feeling of those summer days in your youth that seemed to last forever, we felt that here. Comfortable accommodations, beautiful beaches, perfect weather, friendly people. I can't imagine a better way to spend your days. Thank you Ada and Ita.

The owners were lovely and welcoming. The rates are very reasonable. The units are old and could use some upgrading but for the price it was great! We would definitely return. The AC units were cold and worked well. Beds were comfortable and clean. It is right on a beautiful beach with abundant shelling and glorious sunsets!! We actually saw... More

I want to be completely honest here, as there are some positive things about this place, but the negative ones would prevent us from returning. The first thing you notice when you arrive is that it is overgrown with shrubbery that very badly needs trimming. The outside of the building is very worn and tired looking. The management is not...

I don't know when this guest visited us but it must have been during the time that we were getting ready to do some major work, which would explain some of the issues (overgrown grass, which by the way was nowhere near 3' high, hidden sign, porch furniture, grills which have now been thrown out). I agree with this guest... More

I kind of hate to write a good review for the Island House. I've lived in Florida all my life and finally found a place that takes me back to the "old Florida" beach life of my youth, before every beach turned into a plastic Margaritaville. No T-shirt shops or bars on every corner. Just friendly, real people in a... More
