It was beautiful and quiet and charming and we loved our stay, but we had to be careful to avoid alligators (we visited with two children under 5 and an 8-month old puppy!) If you play golf, you will not be disappointed (although you have to be careful of alligators that may wander onto the course). I'm glad I looked the island up online and read as much as I could BEFORE we left, because I would not have expected how quiet and secluded this beach resort really is. Visitors MAY NOT drive cars onto the island (rental golf carts are available), and you should bring most of the food staples that you will need (there are only a few restaurants and very limited places to purchase groceries, although you can pre-order them to be delivered when you arrive). It was a wonderful place for a family vacation, a long as we kept a close watch of our grandchildren and puppy!
