“Garden Island is a staycation and escape all at once. We live in Charlotte and our family has enjoyed Garden Island for more than a decade, staying in several different cottages over the years. Our grandkids love swimming, sand castles on the beach, kayaks, paddleboards, and the ever-fun pedalboat. We bring our own kayaks but share the island flotilla, borrowing paddleboards and canoe. We love to entertain as our friends feel island magic from the moment they step onto the ferry. Yet we are close to home and can pick from our garden, grab the mail, and see our local friends. Garden Island works for us.”
