Quiet scene of couple sitting on the beach at sunset

Fall is always the quietest time of the year on the islands. It’s also one of our best-kept secrets.

Businesses have been spruced up during the summer months, the sky becomes a cerulean blue, the humidity drops and the beach beckons with its offerings of shells and long, slow, intimate walks.

Over the past few years, we’ve had more and more people tell us they visited us during the fall or the holidays and fell in love with the islands and each other. They got engaged or decided to renew their vows. There is something about slowing down and spending time getting reacquainted on our beautiful island that leads to these romantic outcomes. We hope you decide to ignite or rekindle your relationship with us this fall.

Stop back next month to see what’s new at Island Vacations!

‘Ding Darling Days has been a favorite pastime for residents and guests for years.

The activities are varied with an eye to offering fun & educational experiences for all family members. Many are free. Be sure to check out the calendar of events.

If you love birding, don’t overlook Oct. 20th.

Thank you for voting us “The Best”

Each year our local paper, “The Island Reporter”, devotes two issues to asking residents and guests who they consider the best business providers in specific categories. Since 2015 Island Vacations has been pleased to have been nominated the best in several areas.

We thought you’d enjoy this brief video and we want to thank our owners for providing us with such wonderful properties to offer our guests. With all of us working together, we hope to continue being “The Best” for many years to come.  THANK YOU!
