Nothing but great things to say about the Beach Barn!
The home was very well stocked and equipped. It had everything we needed for our 5 night stay. The home was very clean and well maintained. Dave the Property Manager was very responsive to any questions we had and made us feel welcomed. We wish we had stayed longer to explore more of the island.

Perfect!
My family and I stayed a week at the barn house. It was one of the cleanest homes we’ve stayed in, this being our 4th year at the island. It is a beautiful home and literally has everything needed. We definitely look forward to more stays here in the future!

The best all around VRBO we have ever stayed in!
The Beach Barn was beyond my expectations. Cleanliness is an important factor in staying at a VRBO with my small children. The Beach Barn was impeccable. It was perfect for our family of 5. The house has everything you could ever need in a stay on the island. 10/10 recommend!!

Great house, great amenities, great kitchen supplies. Property manager was super helpful. Proximity to the dock was nice - when dragging luggage, coolers, etc it’s nice to have a short walk from dock to house. I highly recommend.

Would stay again
This was the perfect house for 2 families to share. The downstairs patio and games in storage provided hours of entertainment for everyone. The maps on VRBO don’t do it justice how close it is to both the dock and the beach, you can walk to either in less than 3 minutes…we didn’t need a golf cart to get around. The property manager was very helpful and took the garbage away for us, which we’ve had to pay extra for at other properties.

The perfect getaway
We love LGI and the Barn House was wonderful. It was clean, spacious, and had so many extras. It was a short, few minutes walk to the bay or beach. We had so much fun using the kayaks, the outdoor and indoor games, grills, and awesome swings. And our host, Dave, was a great help with luggage transport, suggestions, and answering all our questions.

Peaceful Retreat
Property was very clean, minutes from the dock and beach, and had everything we needed including a well equipped kitchen, hang out area under the dock, and accesories for the beach (sand toys, chairs, umbrellas). Our family of 5 (three teenagers) and my parents fit comfortably in the home. It was out first visit to the island and we fell in love with its charm and laid back nature.

So impressed with, The Island Beach Barn! Have stayed on island several times and we have found our staple place! The property manager, Dave, was awesome and he was spot on. The Barn was stocked and so well layed out. We did not want for anything. Loved the grills and used multiple times a day . Very clean and plenty of room!! The outdoor patios was our favorite spots.

Family of 5 (3 teens)
We created some lasting family memories here! Amazingly clean home stocked with everything you need, and most of what you want in terms of a day at the beach and cooking meals in the kitchen. The lower level space and outside shower were surprise highlights of our week! A few FYIs: if you don't have a boat, make water taxi reservations well in advance and plan to pay at least $80+tip each way (5 people). Also, all 3 bedrooms are on the top floor with a narrow staircase access (see photos).This was no problem for us, but might be for others. We highly recommend this home!!

Couldn’t have asked for more!
We have been to the island several times, it’s one of our favorite places to be. This was our first time staying at this beautiful property but it won’t be our last. David, the property manager, was so nice and helpful from our arrival to the day we left. The house itself was perfect for our family of four, we have two teenage girls. The house was super clean, looked to be newly updated, nicely decorated, and well stocked with everything you could need. Aside from groceries of course, those you will need to get from the mainland before heading over on the ferry. We can’t wait to stay here and enjoy this special place again.

Amazing
This house was absolutely beautiful and extremely clean. It was updated and the home had everything you could want/need for a relaxing beach vacation. I really appreciated the top quality cooking and kitchen appliances, the super soft toilet paper (ladies you totally know what I mean), upgraded sheets and pillows. The host was timely in responding and the caretaker introduced himself within hours of us arriving. The beach was beautiful and not at all crowded. You have to take a water taxi to the island and you need to book that one week in advance. Make sure to bring all groceries with you. Although they had plenty of spices available. I will be coming back and staying here again!

Great time
The home comes with everything you need. This is our first time back since the hurricane and the island is still in repair but did not stop us from enjoying. We snorkeled, grilled and chilled. The only thing the description does not mention all the water toys that come with the house. Multiple kayaks, beach chairs, umbrellas and kids beach toys. Outdoor shower is amazing. And lots of beautiful shells and shark teeth to find on the shores.

Everything as advertised
Great location on the island, short distance to both the beach and the dock. All amenities functioning properly, not a single disappointment. Host is responsive. Manager even met us on the dock to lend a hand and get us situated. We were a party of eight, (5 adults, 3 children). We never felt crowded. Would use this host, rent this property again without hesitation. Thank you Joe and Mandy (and Dave) !

Loved it!
The Beach Barn was everything we hoped for and more! The house is clean and offers plenty of family space. We enjoyed the farm table and the Blackstone for most of our meals. The space under the house had great swinging chairs, a bar, and games. Beach chairs, boogie boards, and anything we could've imagined were available for our use. The outdoor shower was also amazing. This is our 4th time to LGI and with this house you truly only need to pack your suits and bring your food because it was stocked with so many essentials. The beach access is close and unique with tropical plants and a walkway. Dave, the property manager was exceptional! He met us at the dock and helped with all our needs. He really went the extra mile to make our stay incredible. We love the island and the Beach Barn is definitely a great house that we would highly recommend.
