Skull Island – Blackbeard’s HideawayAhoy, matey! Welcome to Skull Island where your adventures begin, and your memories are treasured.Your adventure begins right after you park your car in the gated parking area. You’ll bring your belongings to the dock where you can load it into your boat or use ours. From the dock, the house will be in your view on the island just to the right. THERE IS NO WAY TO DRIVE TO THE ISLAND, IT CAN ONLY BE ACCESSED BY ROWBOAT, YOUR BOAT OR RENTED PONTOON BOAT.The home is unmistakable with pirate flags all around, painted black with cannons mounted to the side. You are about 100 yards or about a five-minute rowboat ride from your destination.The property is on a point of the island. This gives you 270-degree views, main view of Pontiac Lake, the beach and Gale Bay. It’s great to have the sun on the front of the house and to the rear of the house, you’ll find shade under the large maple tree. In the evening you’ll enjoy breathtaking sunsets.You’ll have access to everything you need. On the Lake, there is a Chinese Restaurant and a couple of boat liveries. Pontiac Lake State Park has a host of things to do.Skull Island kid’s camp is just on the other side of the island.

There is a rowboat and paddle boat included with the house at no charge. We rent a well-seasoned 12-person pontoon for $150 per night or a newer pontoon can be rented from the multiple local boat liveries. Lounge around the lake or on the dock or deck all day and spend your evenings in Pontiac, Royal Oak, Birmingham, Clarkston, Detroit, Windsor (Canada), or other local hot spot of your choosing. Bring your fishing pole and catch Bass, Bluegill, Pike, Walleye, and other game fish when in season. Barbecue outside or cook inside.
