We’ve rented this property a few times when family visits and it’s been great. Clean and convenient to my house. The water was not turned on when we family arrived, but thankfully the property owner responded at 11pm. House is super cute and very comfortable for a family of four. Great dock for fishing and nice patio to sit outside and avoid no-serums. Bring paper towels and hand soap (bottles there are mostly watered down.) directions for leaving are different on email vs the sign posted on kitchen island, so we just used judgement to leave as clean as possible. WiFi was useful and fridge cold, we did bring bags of ice instead of using trays in freezer. Beds comfy and rooms were nice. Lots of great restaurants nearby, great boating and kayaking. The mangroves are super close for kayaking. Quick paddle to hidden passageways and fun fishing! We rented a golf cart to avoid being in cars! Great spot for a little getaway or a season!

Beautiful waterfront home with all you need

The house is neat and very clean, equipped with everything you need for your stay. It is nicely decorated. The screened porch is great. There is even more privacy than we expected from the pictures because we thought the boat dock area was public, but it is private so you have all the canal and canal views to yourself. The owner is very responsive. The neighborhood is relaxed, a friendly vacation village with people in holiday mood. There are great kayaks for exploring the mangroves. The only thing old and broken were the bicycles, which were rusty and unusable. One hose broke while trying to get air. It was a shame because the area is great to ride a bike in. However, we had a blast of a time and would like to return.

Excellent property and so much to do

We were surprised there were even games for the kids which we didn’t even see until we were checking out. We had an amazing time and already booked another stay.

Birthday

The property was perfect as it is around the corner from a friends home. There was a large group in town to celebrate that friends birthday. If we go back and need a place to stay, that will be it!
