Spent Mother's Day weekend with family here, rented a 6 person cabin. The cabin was lovely but I'll…read moreprobably rent 2 next time, 6 people and 1 bathroom is challenging. The beds were supposed to be queen but they were smaller than my queen at home. Plenty of cooking supplies, full size fridge is very nice. Really enjoyed the 11th Hour band on Saturday night, and bingo on Sunday night. A great place for families, if a little expensive. It's very clean, both inside the cabin and everyplace else. I suggest a rug or mat for the front door, it was pouring down rain when we checked in, we used a bedroom rug. So nice to have a place where pets are welcome. Thanks for a great time, we will be back. Ingrid Wright

This place is beautiful on the surface but BEWARE as there are serious management issues with not…read moreaddressing basic health & safety regulations. I am not one to post reviews normally, and was professional & friendly in my demeanor. When reviewing my concerns with the office staff they advised I needed to speak to the manager & provided days/time to return - I returned as directed 3 times and the she was "unavailable". On my 3rd visit the manager refused to come out of her office - I could literally SEE her in her office but she would not come out. Again - I was not "mad" or showing "frustration" and the front desk staff were very nice. It was very bizarre. The manager obviously was just not interested in speaking to us. I then followed up with 2 emails - again no response from management. The major issues: Contaminated/Boil Water notice delay - We arrived on Friday 5/1/26 and were notified at 7pm 5/2/26 via email that the local water supply was compromised and residents were under a boil water notification since at least 4/27/2026 per the town website. Island Oaks did not offer or have any bottled water to supply to us - I did ask - and we were paying full price for water and electric service. Why were we not informed upon check in to not drink/shower/brush/bath with the contaminated water and this issue jeopardized our health ! Island Oaks showed no concern or signs of caring about their facilities when it came to their guest health. Unleashed dogs - There were at least 4 unleashed dogs in the sites around us while we kept our dog leashed as per the rules. To get to the dog park you had to cut through someone's site - past the unleashed dogs - there was no easy entrance accessible from campsites. Never again - highly do NOT recommend Island Oaks.

My experience at the Blanche? Beautifully strange…read more I'll explain. First off the hotel is as beautiful as advertised. From the lobby to the grand staircases, the artwork to the perfectly polished wood. It's all gorgeous. The rooms are also very nice too. Historic yet well maintained. The bedding and decor is spectacular, and even though the rooms are east-facing there are blackout blinds to keep that unforgiving morning sun at bay. Now, why the strange part? Because for the two days I was there, I saw ZERO humans in the entire hotel. For starters, everything is automated. My reservation was done online. I got texted an entry code to the property and to my room. And checkout was all via door code and online too. Never in the entire experience from booking to stay, did I speak to or see another human. And for a hotel experience, that's just weird. So, The Blanche. Definitely better than staying at a chain hotel. Great value. Stunning beauty. Eery silence. Finally, let me add this. There are several one star reviews of this place talking about a bar, roaches and no parking - I can say with confidence those reviews are not accurate whatsoever. This place is clean, quiet and very easy to park at, in fact I parked about 10 feet from the front door for free.

The cruise narrator knew tons of intricate details about the history and places we passed, especially about Cumberland Island. He explained the history of the horses on the island: their origin, breeding and band habits. He gave lots of detail about the Carnegie's and the incredible mansions on the island. He also answered lots of questions from the cruise participants. He was engaging making jokes and quips throughout the cruise.

We stopped in on the weekend of the Fiddler Crab festival in Steinhatchee, Fl…read more Our first choice was busy, with an hour wait, and a storm coming in, we opted for Fiddler's. We were warned that there were only 2 wait staff on at the time, and to be patient. To that, our waitress had the sweetest southern accent, her name started with an M, she was amazing. She handled her section, yes we waited but had no real complaints. The prices were a bit out of line with the food offerings. I paid $25.99 for some tender, juicy shrimp and $29.99 for a plate of "fried scallop" all were the size of a nickle and tasted like punched ray wing.

I placed my and my partner's order a little before 4p. I ordered a cup of clam chowder (which about 30 minutes later was told they were out), a buffalo chicken sandwich with French fries, mozzarella sticks and an order of chicken wings. The young female bartender was sweet and doing best to take care of the bar and take food orders. She kept giving updates on the food and kept saying it's on its way and kept giving an estimate of how much longer. About 5pm, my chicken sandwich finally comes out without French fries. The bartender went to the kitchen and shortly there after the French fries came out. Then the soup of the day was brought out (bartender told me when she told me that she told the kitchen to give me the soup of the day without asking me). The bartender then said that the mozzarella sticks and wings would be out in about 4-5 minutes.
