Summary: This is a hidden GEM! What an amazing little piece of paradise. No paved roads, just as close as you can get to the 1800’s Florida. Abundance of wild life surrounded by tropical plants. We saw deer, turkeys, alligators. Armadillo, chickens and ducks. We would definitely stay there again. Owners and hosts were excellent! Highly recommend this cozy cottage on Drayton Island.
