Off-Grid Paradise
What a beautiful home and island! Our family of 4 spent a magical week on Cayo Costa. My kids enjoyed fishing, shelling, playing in the sand, swimming, and spotting Florida wildlife. The Sandy Seagull has all the comforts of home while being completely off-grid. Dina was an excellent host. She was quick to answer all of my questions and had so many tips that helped us prepare for our trip. This was the perfect trip for our family, and we will definitely be back!

A great get away
We had a great time with perfect weather. We were able to swim and paddle board each day and even had dolphins swim under us! The house is very nice, we played pool each night. We used the kayaks to fish the backwaters and also fished the lagoon and beach. The lagoon was closed off this year but the peninsula was showing so we could walk way out for some great shelling. We visited the camp store at the state park every other day to get Klondike bars. We saw multiple tortoises on these excursions. Dina has answered all my questions before we left and Jill answered questions while we were on the island. Overall, great family time! We can’t wait for next year.

Great island get away
I’ve stayed on this Island before in another house and liked Dina’s home much better. Tons of room, clean, and everything you need other than food. If you want to stay on Cayo Costa you can’t go wrong with this home.

Wondering stay at the Sandy Seagull
This was our first time staying in a rental house on Cayo Costa. In the past we've always camped. What a wonderful stay we had! Staying in the house on the quiet island offered all of the seclusion and peacefulness of camping and all of the amenities and comfort of a home! Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes the seclusion and freshness of an island that truly captures one of the last places to experience the natural Florida landscape and feel.
