We had a wonderful stay! The house was absolutely beautiful and in a fantastic location. We loved being able to walk to the beach every day, relax by the pool, and kayak and paddleboard in the bay. It really had everything we could have asked for.Communication was exceptional from start to finish. The hosts provided a personalized website with everything we needed to know, including arrival and departure details, information about the house, and answers to just about any question we could have had. It made the entire stay incredibly easy and stress-free.We highly recommend this home and would absolutely stay here again. We’re already hoping to come back!

The property was exactly as listed. It was perfect for our family of 6! The kids loved the kayaks and paddle boards. The beach closet was well stocked, and the walk to the beach was quick and easy even for our four year old! This was our first time in the area, and we could not have been happier with our decision to stay at The Canal House.

Our family had a wonderful stay at The Canal House! Communication with Elizabeth was on point! The house was perfect for our family and our dogs! We had two children ages 8 and 4. They were never at a loss for things to do. Canal house had plenty of beach toys, beach towels, and outdoor toys! Even a small kayak that our grandson paddled around in. There is a little playground and a pool that the kids also took full advantage of. We did have a couple days of rain and there were umbrellas in the hall closet! How thoughtful! All of us enjoyed being right on the canal as the fishing from the pier was great!! My daughter and I also ventured out in the kayaks and were pleasantly surprised that a couple of dolphins decided to join us!!The kitchen was stocked with every utensil we needed. Even plastic dinner ware for dining on the outside deck. Parking was easy. Plenty of room for two cars.Beach access was a quick walk across the street!Thank you Elizabeth! We had an amazing time!
