Not what we expected from photos
Was not like we expected it to be. Spent one night there, got up and left at 8 am the next day. Cold showers that night, very uncomfortable bed, neighborhood was not great. Did not go stay for the two day trip we had planned but definitely got over charged for it. Paid over $600 for 12 hours of being there.

Spring break get away
The stay was great even with the rain. Got to see some wildlife right in the back yard from all types of fish to a manatee with her baby. A large owl hooting at us in the early morning. The house was just perfect and had everything you would need for a pleasant stay.
Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024
