Island House

(106 Ratings)
All-male nude resort

Times change, but Island House stays the same--this is one of the last gay clothing-optional resorts in Old Town. Swimming pool, bar, drag shows, a special "video room" open all night, and a surprisingly good restaurant make this the top destination for travelers looking for a naughty good time. Day visitors are welcome to eat at the restaurant and visit the pool.

Well worth the price!

Yes, it is a pricey place and one can run up quite a bar tab (or byob)... But awesome non pretentious staff and a no attitude resort. Also, guest get to drink free for happy hour... You should tip the tenders though. The only negative is that day passers take up too many pool chairs, but if they are cock blocking chairs for more than half hour with a towel and not being around - remove towels and cop a squat as I did. Fun adventure at Island House.

The Island House

They have a great staff special too if you get there early and want to eat dinner. very romantic and subtle you can meet quality people around the pool and at happy hour or breakfast.

Great Place

Just got back from a 5 day stay at the island house. My first time and have to say it's one of the best guesthouses i've stayed at. Nice room, very friendly staff, good food and drink by the pool, and great atmosphere! Also, nice to have a convenience store across the street to pick up small items for your room.

My home from home in KW

Always welcoming and never disappoints. I've been visiting KW since the late 70's and Island House had gone from run down shack to the luxurious and restful haven it now is. I agree it seems to improve with each visit...

Wonderful guesthouse

The comments below pretty much describe the place and I agree with everything they say. One small fact some might not know is Island House also honors military discount if you have an ID card.
