Nice little place. Plenty of room to tie up a small boat to the floating dock. Very quiet and relaxing.

Great location for a couple. Even though it's a shared property, felt private and we enjoyed the quiet. The scenery was wonderful and natural, even though everything was a quick drive. We really enjoyed our visit!

Peaceful stay

My son and I enjoyed our stay at the Aripeka Island Retreat! Clean and cozy indoors and a wonderful location on the water with multiple outdoor areas to enjoy. A large screened in outdoor area along with additional seating areas near the dock with enjoyable decor. Kayaks and dock provided with beautiful scenery to enjoy. A close paddle to the Gulf, should you like the adventure, or calmer waters the other way should you choose. We also visited SunWest, close to the rental, where my son enjoyed wake boarding. In the evenings it is a quiet location where you can enjoy the stars. Fire pit and grill available. The owner was kind and caring and available for any needs during the visit.
