Top ten things that were just plain foul about this place: 1). the water surrounding the "island" was almost black - you couldn't see your feet if standing in at knee-deep. 2). the unit on the main level smelled so musty, like wet mildewed carpet, the smell burned your nose when you opened the door. 3). to get to the unit upstairs ...

My family had 16 of us. We loved all the privace allowed us on this island. We saw about 20 boats the whole weekend. For a holiday weekend that is awsome. My wife loved the cute island homes. You could tell they had put a lot of time into the landscaping and lighting. We are already planing another family reuion next year in the spring. Jill and John Grossman
We loved all the new landscaping and lighting they were addind when we were there Aug 2 2009. This was the most private and clean accomadations we have ever rented on line. We had booked then found a few of the reviews here. Started to cancel, but thought how could they have so many good photes and be what a few said they were here. So we chanced ...

Waisting money in skeeterville is a quick summary of my stay on the "Island". Private it is not, more traffic than a fast food drive thru most days. Houses very outdated and the bedrooms are very small." Brightside" is there are three hot tubs if you count the one turned upside down next to the stairs entering the upper ...

Wow, what a experiance we were on the island
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/31/09
We found this island vacation rental on here but could not book it here. So we ran a serch for it's name. We found paradisefoundisland.com There we could see curent photo and even movies of the island. Not sure were the other reviews stayed but doubt it was here. It was clean, nice. Was not our cheepset option, but did come out to be the ...
The location is the only thing nice about this place. Camping on the grounds would have been nicer than staying in the accomodations. My family and I drove up from Sarasota to enjoy 2 days in the outdoors, since we kayak and I windsurf. Once we arrived, we got through the gate, and it was down hill from there. The owner has junk strewn around the ...

We loved the homes, cute island, Exactly as advertised,. The owner was great guide to the area and helped us when out boat had a problem. We are going return every year and spend a week next time. My kids caught 12 fish from the kayaks that were included in our stay. We loved sitting by the bonfire in the evening. haveing the owner on site was such a plus to us he told us were to catch fish. Were to get the best meals cheep.
Who would have guessed in such a remote part of Florida there would be such a natural jewel of paradise!!! City folk who claim they want to get away, and get back to nature need to understand this "IS" natural, it is as natural as nature can be. In all its glorious beauty, the sunrises in the morning to the awsome sunsets at night. To see ...
