"Strand Island is magical! We brought 16 teenage girls and they loved everything about the island. At first, we were worried about having only two bathrooms in the main house. But the sauna shower was a big hit. A girl also enjoyed the two-seater outhouse. Having a sink in each of the eight bedrooms in the house made a huge difference, too. We were also worried that the kitchen wouldn’t be big enough to cook for 20, but it was perfect. The kitchen amenities were high-quality and plentiful. In the house there is a full refrigerator, and a refrigerator/freezer combo. An additional deep freezer and wine fridge are in the TV Cabin. We especially loved the wildlife and nature. Loons, turtles, geese, and a fleet of 43 pelicans were there constantly. The girls caught one bass after another, just off of the dock. There is also a walking path through the woods that runs a half a mile to the north point and a make-shift baseball field behind the house. There are two fire rings and a dock wide enough for 10 people to do yoga.Overall, what was most exciting about the island was that feeling like you’re stepping back in time. The original 1920s decor and art blew us away.We already booked our stay for next summer."
