Reviews of Black's Island
"We visited Black's Island for Memorial Day weekend and enjoyed the resort very much. The staff was super helpful, the island was beautiful, the water was amazing...we simply did not want to leave! If you are looking for a laid back, "off the grid" type of vacation, this is definitely your place. Our family loved it and can't wait to return!" - John W.

"We just got back from our trip to Black's Island. It's a real unique place to visit. Very laid back and gorgeous. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The bungalows are beautiful and decorated really nicely. The beach is wonderful and the surrounding waters are filled with wildlife. We went paddle boarding, kayaking, used the small boat with electric motor and fished around the dock and island. Really relaxing and had a great time. Probably the best time was just going around the island and checking out the wildlife in the water. We saw mullets jumping, all manner of fish, skates, urchins, shellfish, sea hares, horseshoe crabs, blue crabs, etc. There are six shuttles back and forth every day, so it was no problem going ashore for lunch/dinner and supplies. You do have to plan some if you don't have a boat (we didn't) but being on an island is part of the allure, it's a different experience than just going to a hotel and waiting for room service. We loved our experience!" - Dawn S.
