Dog Island has a modestly average real estate price that sits at about $260,000 for a one bedroom and one bathroom beach home with modern appliances and seaside access. Residents indulge in the tranquility of the island and its white and clean sandy beaches. It is not uncommon for a visitor to wake up to dolphins splashing just outside the bedroom window.
