This was a beautiful property, gorgeous location in excellent condition. The host was absolutely exceptional. There was a boat available. You could fish right off the property. It was a short drive to Ana Maria Island and all kinds of other beautiful beaches directly accessible from the boat that’s available to rent. Do not pass this one up.

We could not be happier with our stay. The home was perfect for our large family and kids. The owner was awesome and came to the property and it was great hearing the history of the property. Pontoon boat on site was the biggest plus. We will be back!

Amazing amenities and view

We spent a long weekend at this property with 9 of my girlfriends. This home had everything we needed. The kitchen is fully stocked, bathrooms with plenty of towels and lots of pool towels as well. The outdoor area is truly an oasis. Sunrises from one side of the house and sunsets from the other. I cannot recommend this home enough.
