Cottage was fantastic, love the local art for decor. As far as the island itsel, I wasn’t impressed
The Lighthouse Bakery and Skinners were the only two places to eat, that were enjoyable. The beaches were brown water , unkempt as well. Just not much to do for food or recreation unless you are boating or fishing/charter etc. We did enjoy the band at Doritys on Saturday the 16 April, could sit on the back porch of the rental and listen.

Rocky Shack.....forget this place!
I opened the door and could smell mold. No window screens to air the place out. The evening I arrived a rock and roll band played in the lot next door to the house from 7-11pm. The house shook from the base drummers constant beat. Articles on the wall rattled. I made a recording to prove this. The linens smelled of mold and stale-ness. I was in tears thinking I would have a nervous breakdown. I left at daybreak. I contacted Daulphin Island Beach Rentals with my complaints and asked for a refund. Not a peep!

Visiting for the birding
The Surf Shack was just okay. Problems started with the check-in code, which failed. I had to wait for an employee to show up to confirm the problem and let me in with a different code. The location is good and the inside was clean. The outside is unkept, including a broken screen door that flew about noisily. The bathroom is a 3x5 closet; you have to sit on an angle when using the toilet. I stayed during a cold snap and discovered that the floors were very chilly and the heat would only warm the kitchen. Even though I was aware of the lack of WiFi, it turned out to be a major, costly issue, chewing up my data usage (there is no public WiFi).
