I had been planning our family vacation for almost a year, so to say I was nervous about how it would end up was an understatement. Nathan and Rainbowland exceeded my expectation ten-fold, and it will forever be one of my favorite vacations. It is 30 minutes to and hour (depending on traffic and where you go exactly) to the beaches which is perfect. It is enough "off the grid" to feel private but only about 7-10 minutes from a gas station, food, bait shop, etc. The property and house was immaculate, and Nathan responded very promptly to the few little requests we had to make that wasn't already thought of and taken care of beforehand. We fished off the dock every day and caught multiple different types, swam to our hearts content, and relaxed. The ONLY con if you can call it that is having to share the dock and pool with the plantation house guests. The dock has a long runway and is pretty decently sized so that shouldn't be a problem, but if you don't like having to share a pool with other people than that would be the only thing you'd need to reconsider if wanting to stay here. If you don't mind that though, it is PERFECT and you won't regret it!!
