The house is beautiful they have kept the old Florida look yet modified with all the modern conveniences and in a perfect location. Ac works great and the ice maker is a life saver. Probably paid for the house with the amount of money I saved on ice. Dani is very responsive and made sure we had a great stay.

This was the perfect house for our group! We came to go scalloping, and we trailered a 28 foot boat. The location is perfect and the house is very large, clean, comfortably decorated and FULLY stocked. We would gladly book again, any time of the year.

We had a blast!

Loved being so close to all the action on the canal. House was spacious and nice—we loved the huge ice maker and being able to dock the boat right out back. Plenty of parking!

The best property we ever stayed at

Property manager, Dani, did a great job. We could find everything we needed during our stay. Location is superb, we were kayaking almost every day. Property was super clean when we arrived. Really enjoyed it!
