Fred was very helpful and we cannot say enough good things a out him, he helped make a our fishing trips a success.

Our stay

What a great place and Fred and Karen are wonderful hosts. Comfortable, clean, quiet and safe neighborhood. We enjoyed relaxing at the beaches.- Apollo, Clearwater, Bradenton, or just down the street! The backyard is relaxing too!!! Great walking area with a nature park down the road. Our two months here is just what we needed!!
