Yoast SEO Creatings Lot’s of extra junk pages in Google’s search results..

So I was Googling my domain to see how many pages are indexed….
https://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=site%3Awww.funcabinrentals.com

Googling shows 419 pages. Thought that was strange since I should have around 200.

I checked my sitemap to see if anything weird was in it and was fine.

Under Yoast SEO – Search Appearance -Media –
Media & attachment URLs – Redirect attachment URLs to the attachment itself?

That is set to yes.

wordpress & Yoast are using latest version.

So here is one example of about 200 url’s that have this issue:

This is the page that should be indexed by Google:
http://www.funcabinrentals.com/chatom-vineyards/

The page above (chatom-vineyards) is indexed by Google but another page below (chatom-vineyards-2) is also indexed in Google & I assume was created by Yoast SEO? It should not be indexed.
http://www.funcabinrentals.com/chatom-vineyards/chatom-vineyards-2/

It appears Yoast is 301 redirecting (chatom-vineyards-2) to this:
http://www.funcabinrentals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/chatom-vineyards.jpg

You can see redirect using this tool – http://wheregoes.com/

How can I get the 200 url’s out of Google index fast? It’s causing thin content issues for my site:
