The location is pretty unbeatable, amazing sunsets from the deck. Got to enjoy my morning coffee while watching the fish leap out of the water and the pelicans diving for their breakfast. Enjoyed the pool daily. Pure serenity!

We had an amazing family vacation! We have a 5 and 8 year old and they LOVED having the pool as an option to really swim in the water and the beach just steps away for sand play and hermit crab hunting! This is out 5th stay at the island and being on the bay side was really nice for the kids as there aren’t many waves and we never made it out to were the water was more than waist deep for the adults. Having the kayaks was also another fun adventure for the kids. We are from TN and do a lot of river canoeing, it was a treat to go out in a much bigger body of water. John was so great and very communicative!

This was the 3rd year coming back to this house for a family spring break. As usual, everything was clean and in great working order. The kids love the pool, we also fish off the beach in front of the house and explore the canals and shorelines with the kayaks. The golf cart is great to get around the the island. John is an awesome host and always responds quickly if we have any questions. We would love to come back next year!

This house is absolutely amazing! Being right next to the water was really nice. Plenty of room, great big, clean kitchen, and amazing laundry room. Having the kayaks there was so great for the kids. The porch on top was stunning. Every evening we went there and watched the most amazing sunsets. And renting the golf cart was icing on the cake. And having the gulf side within walking distance was great. John was so easy to talk to and get in touch when needed. I can't wait to go back to this place.
