If you enjoy beautiful sunsets and watching dolphins play right in front of your eyes then look no further. This condo has everything one could dream of for a Florida vacation. The unit itself is remodeled and very comfortable. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are spacious and the Florida room and living rooms are perfect for relaxing or spending time as a family. Our kids used the pool and enjoyed it very much. We trailered our boat here and used the public boat ramp to launch with no issue and no line. Truly, you cannot go wrong with this unit. The hosts are also very kind and responsive and the location cannot be beat. You are 5 minutes away from some of NSB’s best restaurants and beaches. We highly recommend this unit and hosts.
Beautiful views of the riverfront
There was nothing about this property that I didn’t love. The location of the condo was great. I loved randomly looking out on the water and watching the boats go by. I appreciated the little touches include such as paper plates, cooking spices, detailed instructions, etc. As a nurse, I loved the fact that there was a first aid kit available. We had a wonderful time and would love to visit NSB again and stay in the same unit.
A beautiful property! Very comfortable and just like the photos. Loved watching the sunsets and dolphin playing. May have found a home away from home????
Would highly recommend this property. Beautiful views, easy access, very clean, well looked after. Quiet and restful. Near groceries and restaurants. Very much enjoyed the stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this house. The parking spots are a little tight especially when guests are staying in house A, to the left of this house. The cleanliness, location, and amenities are unbeatable on St. George Island. If you are looking for restaurants, skip the next door neighbor “blue parrot”. Go check out the red pirate or paddy’s raw bar instead. Staff at both restaurants were so much better than the blue parrot.

From the moment we pulled up to this gorgeous bay-front home we were wowed! The shell lined walkway up to the man-made sandy beach area and dock were just beautiful. The huge front porch was warm and welcoming and the perfect space to sit, relax, dine and watch the unparalleled sunsets. When we entered the property our children exclaimed, “Mom, it’s even better than the pictures!” Every detail was considered, from the heartfelt note and generous gift for the local general store, to the well-stocked and family friendly kitchen and dining area, to the gorgeous, comfortable and spacious bedrooms. There was never a dull moment on this peaceful and quaint island. The home is well-stocked with games, books, water-sport equipment, outdoor games, and more to keep even the most busy kiddos entertained. We loved exploring the dock area and found an abundance of seashell and sea-glass treasures as mementos of our stay. Old Salty’s was just across from the house and offered up an incredible local menu as well as a conveniently located tiki bar and awesome live music to add to our weekend fun. We will definitely be back again to enjoy this gorgeous property with our entire family. Thank you so much Kelly and Billy for making this an unparalleled vacation experience!
Clean place, good location with nice access to water activities. Host is very accommodating and helpful. She seems to have the guests best interests in mind for an enjoyable stay.

Our family used the Lighthouse as our “home base” during the Rock Hall triathlon weekend and it exceeded all of our expectations! It has a perfect location, and the house was perfect for our short stay. It was my wife’s first race and this beautiful house just added to a very special weekend.
This property was great! We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you for making this such an easy process.
What an amazing place! Clean, bright and cheery home! Any questions I had were answered in a timely manner. We would definitely stay there again!!
This was a long weekend trip to celebrate our 44th Wedding Anniversary. The house is located within walking distance of all of Rock Hall. Everything in the was clean and it was well stocked with kitchen basics, including plenty of pods for the Keurig. The fill your own pod with filters was also available. A great place to get away from everyday life.
Beautiful location and a wonderful house. Can see pride in ownership and upkeep on property.

Beyond impressed. Excellent experience and best views of Mac bridge. Very relaxing and the island was amazing.
Bois Blanc Island is a treasure, and this house is spectacular. Communication with Wendy and Michelle (Caretaker) was superb. They thought of every detail. The home is gorgeous, comfortable, and the scenery is stunning. We want to come back over and over!
Our stay at Bonum Est was incredible. The house is beautifully designed with large open spaces and an amazing view of the Mackinac Bridge. The sunsets were phenomenal. We rented kayaks and took trips to Round Island (just .3 mile from the house) and other parts of Bois Blanc, including Bible Beach (about 4 miles from the house).We stayed for a week with our family of 14. We were a bit concerned that we wouldn’t have enough to do given there are only two restaurants on the island, but the week flew by just having fun on the beaches, hiking, and bike riding. We all watched the full moon rise from the “lighthouse” and saw lots of shooting stars.Michelle the property manager was very responsive to questions and with local info, as were Wendy and Mike. The house was well stocked with kitchen stuff, TP, paper towels, beach chairs, and beach toys for younger kids.Can’t really say enough about how great the house is. We’re looking forward to coming back next year!
Just gorgeous. This is one of the most beautiful and unique properties we’re ever stay at. The owners were very helpful and quick to response. The property manager was great and very helpful during our stay. The inside of the home is more beautiful than the pictures portray. Everything in the home is well thought out with much detail.We came we’ll prepare with all of our food and beverages. The kitchen was VERY well equipment to make any meal. It was perfect.
My family and I (a group of 23) stayed comfortably here for a week. The experience of getting to the home was a lot of fun starting with the ferry ride and ending with the short winding car ride to the home itself. Once we got to the home we were greeted by Michelle, the property manager, who gave us a tour of the home and helpfully answered any questions we had. Also, Wendy, one of the property owners, was extremely helpful in answering all our questions in incredible detail before the trip began. The view from the home of the bridge and neighboring Round Island were simply amazing. I am trying to think of there is a better view of the bridge that can be had at any other location — the pictures don’t do it justice. Some in my group as well as myself had said we could have probably sat in the “wine barrel” chair that was nestled under a tree next to the water for the entire week. The cool breeze on shore was a great relief when the sun got hot. Watching the kids play in the water and waves from that perch was a pleasure, especially since young kids could go out quite a long way without the water getting too deep. Just make sure to bring water shoes. There were a couple days where the flies were biting but they weren’t out all the time. Bring bug spray.The home itself is large and furnished appropriately to comfortably accommodate our large group. The “lighthouse” is a fun addition that provides a 360 degree view of the area. Care should be taken when going up and down the ladder to the top floor. The owners advise that children not go up there without adult supervision. This is good advice.Outside the property, we biked as well as explored the island in the side by side we trailered on the ferry. There were lots of trails, though sometimes the labeling on the trails/roads were a little confusing and didn’t quite match up with what we were seeing on the map. This made it harder to distinguish what was private property and what was not. We went fishing at the large dock at lake Thompson. It would have been nice to have a boat since most of what was caught were very small panfish or perch. The kids loved it, but I imagine an uninhabited lake like that would have some larger fish beyond the dock. There was also plenty of room for campfires and yard games which we took advantage of. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and would highly consider coming back next year if the place is available.

A modern glass wing and an old Victorian cottage make up this listing. As it was just my friend and me, we stayed in the modern glass wing and as we didn’t used the old Victorian cottage, this review is mainly about the modern part. Incredible views from the upstairs living room. The downstairs bedrooms have doors which open onto the courtyard. You fall asleep and wake to the sound of the ocean. The property was clean, although some of the upstairs seating and the general paintwork was just starting to feel a little tired. But that said, your eyes are taken to the stunning 270 degree views out to sea and across the peninsulas.The beds were comfy. The water was hot and the shower pressure was good.A couple of things to know. To reach the lighthouse you have to drive down a very narrow walled lane – amount a mile long ( at least it felt like a mile). I clipped the wing mirrors on our car twice – soooo before you go down the lane, bring your wing mirrors in, and if you’re renting a car, don’t rent a wide one.The second thing is that the modern wing is essentially a green house and on warm days, with the doors shut, the interior heats up (to 34 c !!) – even with the shades pulled down. We would return from a day out and fling open the doors. There is a small terrace and a gantry/balcony off the upper living room which a wonderful for enjoying the sea breezes.Beaches, walks, restaurants are all nearby. Would recommend.
Unique, comfortable, on the sea
Our overall experience staying at this location was a 10 out of 10. The facilities were magnificent and the view was simply stunning. From the very first contact with the owner on booking this exquisite accommodation to the very pleasant experience with Rose the caretaker made us feel right at home. Our family are originally from West Cork and all agree that this is perhaps the single most impressive accommodation location that they have ever experienced. I would highly recommend this property to anybody interested in experiencing Ireland in all of its glory. Thanks to Margaret for allowing us the opportunity to stay in your spectacular property. We will book again, that is a certainty.
This property and its location actually exceeds the pictures and description online; it is a spectacular venue in and out and I would love to go back!It has everything you might require for home from home comforts, the views of and exposure to the sea are second to none. The lighthouse fils the West wing window and the sunrise the east. It’s a special place without a doubt.
We had an absolutely wonderful time in the property. The views from the long house were exceptional and all the bedrooms are lovely and cosy! Would definitely recommend!
