This beach house is exactly what we needed for our weekend trip. It was clean, well-maintained, and in a great location. The house is a short walk to the beach, and the canal view is so relaxing. Enjoyed having our morning coffee on deck very quiet area! The host, Mr. Martin, was so accommodating and friendly. We could not have asked for a better experience! We will most definitely stay here again.

Fun-filled family vacation

The home is beautiful, the rooms are nicely decorated, my teenage daughter loved having a large bed and a bedroom all to herself. We had breakfast every morning on the porch overlooking the canal, it was so relaxing with the breeze, perfect to plan the day's activities. We bicycled up and down Ocean Blvd most mornings, from end to end, it seemed super safe to us, everyone was respectful of pedestrians and bicycles. The teenagers used the kayaks that came with the house and the paddle board we got for this vacation. The canals are a safe environment to let the kids enjoy the water independently. The owners were responsive to every inquiry my husband had regarding the location and operation of the laundry, the outdoor shower and even sent a handyman to tend to a malfunction of the dishwasher. The owners went out of their way to ensure we found their house's offerings were always in perfect order. We appreciated that high level of care. The location of this house is ideal for a variety of water sports, including fishing/crabbing from the house dock or fishing from the nearby spots just a few blocks away.

Loved this place!!

This place was very cute and perfect size for me and 2 others. It’s in a cool spot right on the channel and we were able to hang out on the dock/in the water with floats if we didn’t feel like going to the beach. The public beach access was only a short 5 min walk away. Joel was very attentive and helpful with check in and informing us about things to do. There were people in the unit underneath but they were very friendly and didn’t mind the company at all. 10/10 recommend!!

A True Jewel!

Absolutely perfect! The pictures in the ad do not showcase how light and bright this home is! We loved all the personal touches - it made us feel like we were staying with a family we knew! Well appointed with all of the things we could need to cook our own meals, we found everything tucked into the cabinets, out of the way with cleared surface areas for all the things! Coffee overlooking the canal was the perfect start to the day, and the beach access was just a short walk away. Comfy beds, and much larger rooms than we expected. Plenty of "spaces" here. Dana and Joel are friendly, informative, and gracious hosts! **Definitely planning a return trip

WILL NOT STAY AGAIN

Bugs, spiders, cob webs, could not even sit out on the patio near canal railing about to fall off, place needs a lot of updates not sure who cleans for you guys but they did not do a good job, place looks better on the web site than in person.. Also was told upstairs would only have two people staying, there was a total of 7 people so we got to hear all the walking and all the showers being taken. We would have stay at another place but could not find one close by. Walk to beach was good. Will not be staying again Angela White
