The property is very clean and comfortable. The host was very responsive to our questions. Wonderful views from the wrap-around deck, walking distance to a quite beach and short ride to area parks. Very happy with our stay.

Christmas Bay

Great location from which to kayak. Plenty of mosquitos - but not surprising with all the rain we've had lately. Gracious hosts and pleasant neighbors.

Great place!

We enjoyed our stay at this house. It was comfortable and cozy. The short walk to the beach was great for our family of 5. The kids really enjoyes the foseball table and not having to share beds. The house was nice and cool. The only thing we couldn't do is enjoy the deck area, due to sitting water in the front yard and the grass not being mowed, the mosquitoes were vicious. Other than that we had an amazing time staying here.

Nice house with great access to both bay and beach

My wife and parents stayed here for New Years and to do some bay fishing. Deck has good 360 views of the bay and beach. We took our Jon boat, was great to be able to use the canal and dock by the house, just be mindful of low tide as it gets shallow towards the end of the canal. Easy access, short walk, to the beach. House was nice and clean, with comfy beds. I would definitely stay again.

The BEST views!!

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. The views from every window are amazing. Wrap around deck is one of the best features of the home. Access to bay and gulf were very easy. Our daughter was able to ride her bike down to the bay in safety. We loved being able to bring our dogs and them have a safe place to potty :) Would definitely stay here again, in fact, we hope to this summer!

Cute Beach House

The house is adorable and beautiful views. Short walk to beach as described. There were issues with the cleaning crew as the house was not as clean as I had expected. We saw 3 roaches during our 3 night stay and the towels smelled like mildew and had black stains on them. The owner was very friendly but the house needs a deep clean. Other than those issues the stay was good.

Cute bungalow

This was a perfect location to celebrate our son's 16th birthday with a few of his buddies. The space (especially the foosball table) was a big hit. Located right on the bay and a <5 minute walk to the Gulf side of the island made it super convenient. We had a couple of maintenance issues but owner was so prompt in responding and their local property manager was efficient in taking care if it. Only negative is that the AC units are inadequate to cool the space quickly or fully in peak summer 100 degree days. Nevertheless would definitely stay again. Love this part of the island!
