Property was clean. Kitchen is tiny and any little bit of cooking set off the smoke alarm but we managed to make breakfast each morning. Great view of waterway at back of property and we even saw dolphins one day!! Great birdwatching area! Short walk to beach and liquor store and restaurants nearby.

Really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very clean and everything was as advertised. Mickey reached out to us to make sure all was okay for our check-in. Process was seamless. Loved that the place was close enough to walk everywhere but far enough to not feel like you were in the middle of it all. Would definitely stay there again.

So many great things about this place! The ease of booking..checking in..communication with the host. It was clean and well maintained..walking distance to beach and other amenities. It is on a quiet street..easy access to the apartment.. parking. We loved everything about it. There were 3 adults and 1 young teen, it was a little crowded but we mostly slept there. One tiny issue and it wasn’t with the apartment..there was an outside motor, I assume, running 24 hours a day. By day 6 we were over the sound at night, only the bedroom occupants could hear it but the ones sleeping on the pull out sofa couldn’t hear it.

About the host

Hosted by Mickey Moore

Host profile image
I grew up in Oklahoma(BOOMER SOONER!) and Li grew up in mainland China. We met as coworkers in Tampa in 2008 and the rest is history. We both got in to real estate in 2016 and then discovered the vacation rental industry. And we love it!

Our home base is about an hour from the beach. We enjoy our dogs, RV travel, and playing poker(Li is a semi-pro).

Why they chose this property

We always wanted a place near the beach so we jumped on this gem when the opportunity presented itself.

What makes this property unique

Back by the water is sooo relaxing! And the location is perfect for walking everywhere on the island.
