Hurricanes. Hurricanes simply cannot be predicted. Who knew that we would have a 4.9 Hurricane Ian deliver a direct hit to our little island on Septmber 28, 2022! In the unlikely event of a mandatory evacuation, you may be asked by authorities to leave the island. Keep in mind that the house sits 20 feet above the dune so storm surge is a minimal threat. The Rondavel (a Deltec hurricane-resistant home) has been engineered to withstand 200 knot winds, and has high impact resistant windows.
The water. The ocean waters on LGI are calm, clear, and shallow – perfect for children.
