I love the point house. The inside was recently all remodeled.. I had reserved this place before the remodel, even after reading some negative reviews, because I wasn’t interested in the inside of the house just the outside and where it was located. Some people talked about seeing a couple bugs, it’s southern Florida what does anyone expect? LOL. Which by the way I did not see any bugs during my time there.
Anyhow, this house is wonderful it has the old style Florida look on the outside which I personally love, in the inside is remodeled modern rustic barn style.
This house sits on the peninsula point on the island and is the only house with this location on the whole island. We had our own private dock, we did not bring a boat but the dock worked great for fishing off of, jumping off and swimming, and stargazing. Not to mention the manatees and dolphins that swim around.
Watching the sunrise when you are standing on the point is phenomenal.
When you wake up and in the evening , you have a surround view of the sea. Beautiful.
Ashton was easy to communicate with responded quickly and was a wonderful host.
The barnacles bartenders were the best!!
I would hope that the structure of the house stays the same and is never replaced.
The history of the house is also intriguing, nostalgic, romantic.
The negatives? We did ask a couple people that decided to Dock boat on the beach on the private property that surrounds us. They were walking around on the property and told them to go and they did..
The historic Fishhouse that sits alone in the water made a beautiful backdrop, you can sit on the porch and watch the boats that come around to fish underneath it and see what they are catching. One of the people in my group said that whoever was in the Fishhouse let their dogs poop on our property. Which I did personally not see but if I would’ve been walking in the morning and stepped in it, I would’ve come unglued. So that was totally ignorant.
My only suggestion would be for the house to provide a golf cart like the others. Because if you do want one to travel with it is an additional expense to rent one.
I would never rent anywhere else on this island but the Pointhouse.
