Perfect rental for a romantic weekend trip

We enjoyed taking our boat down for the weekend and staying at Earth. The property manager assisted in making sure we had a slip in the marina waiting and that everything was ready for us! We took advantage of the membership options for the shoals club and can’t wait to come visit again!

Quick couples getaway

We took boat down and were able to get a slip very close to Earth. Great location for us. Secured a Shoals Club guest membership. Cart that came with Earth isn’t a looker but gets you to market and other end of island quickly! Accommodated an early check in which was awesome. Perfect spot for two for a few nights!

We absolutely loved this cozy little cottage. It was so cute and clean. It’s in a beautiful location and all the windows allow an unobstructed view of the marina. The property managers were wonderful and communication was perfect. We would definitely stay here again.
