Beach Houses!
This is probably the least conventional part of our plan, but we'd love it if everyone found a place to rent on the island.
We've done some research already so feel free to ask us for help.
Basically, just use these websites to find something you like and inquire with the owner! Most rentals will say if they offer off-season pricing, and they are nearly all walking distance (~1mi) from the ceremony and reception venues.
Beach House Research!
Quick details on beach houses that we, you, and others have already contacted. Please reference as you look for a house; and leave your own notes.
