5/5 Relaxing, comfortable, interesting, good food, nice people. No beaches, no bars, no McDonald. I needed to unplug, this is the place to do that.

From the owner: "Thank you, Karen! I’m so glad this little island gave you the chance to truly unplug. It really is a different kind of getaway—no frills, just comfort, good food, and kind people. You captured it perfectly.
We’d love to have you back anytime you need another break from the noise."First trip to Smith Island
5/5 Smith Island was on our bucket list of visits, and for spring break we finally went. Castaway Cottage is great!!!! It is the perfect place to stay, and Smith Island is a great way to get away from work and school and the buzz of life on the mainland, which was our whole point of the trip. We totally recommend this house, it is adorable, it has everything you need, and we took our dog and it is SOOOO pet friendly! Oh my gosh, we didn't want to leave! We are absolutely planning a summer trip and staying at Castaway Cottage. Book Island Belle ferry, the Captain is the best and he is FAST, he gets you there and back way faster than the other ferry and he is awesome! Totally recommend!

From the owner: "Holly, your review made my day—thank you! I’m so glad Castaway Cottage and Smith Island gave you exactly the break you were looking for, now that you finally made it there! We love that you brought your pup along too—this place was made to be shared with furry family members! I’ll definitely pass the kind words on to the Captain of Island Belle (he really is the best, isn’t he?). Can’t wait to welcome you back this summer!"
