Gold Pearl Villa

A four-bedroom, 4.5-bath villa tucked on a private canal in Fortune Bay, built for guests arriving by land or by water. The 80-foot dock is fully equipped — fresh water, shoreline power, seating, a fish-cleaning station — for anyone bringing their own boat, while the saltwater pool and open-air summer kitchen give landlubbers just as much reason to stay in. Each bedroom is its own suite rather than a room off a shared hallway, which matters for a group of couples or families splitting the house.

Worth knowing: the nightly rate covers up to 4 guests; each guest beyond that is an extra $50/night, to a max of 8. House rules here are strict and enforced without refund — no pets, no smoking, and guests may not use the property’s boat or boat lift. A vessel with more than 24 inches of draft needs to time the inlet at high tide. Airbnb’s own amenity list also flags hot water as unavailable, which is worth confirming directly with the host before booking.
