This is an excellent property to get away from the hustle and bustle! The house is just as described and the access to water is very good. If you have a boat the public ramp is very close. Educate yourself on the tides, the beautiful neighborhood is located in mangrove estuary. Lisa answered all of our needs immediately. Sit back and embrace the nature and get to explore every this hidden gem has to offer.

The house was so nice and had everything we needed. The power went out the morning after we got there and fried the board in the washer and texted Lisa. They had the repair people out that day and the next day replaced it. The pump to the pool cord also let tripping the breaker but that was on our final day and we let her know! We loved the house and really loved the area and the quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend and the host couldn’t have been better!! Even texted to wish us a safe return home. So kind!

Great location

Close to the Anclote Park boat ramp and great fishing areas. Pool was nice to relax in after a day of fishing. The sponge docks with plenty of good restaurants just a few minutes down the road. Will stay here again!

Scallop Heaven

This property and house are absolutely beautiful. The decor is outstanding, inside and outside. The pool is great and all the outside games provided are fun. We were here to scallop, and had our limit within an hour and a half. There is room in the driveway for two boat trailers plus cars. This was the perfect place for us, and we hope to come back.

Clean beautiful waterfront house!

We really enjoyed the waterfront house for our group go boating. The house is clean and pretty, well stocked, and hosts are responsive, Our 23’ center console had trouble in the shallow spots of the canal during low tide only. Smaller boats or just navigating it during higher tides is fine though!

Couples boating weekend

We were a party of six (three couples) staying three nights to enjoy some island hopping on our boat for Memorial Day weekend. The canal and channel getting out into the Gulf is a bit tricky (shallow & rocky), not really possible at low tide unless you have a flats boat or similar, but Marco conveyed all of that to us beforehand and was very helpful with tips on which side of the channel to stay on, also sending us maps and area information. The home itself was perfect for the six of us. The twin beds in one of the rooms was not ideal for a couple to sleep on, but we made it work. The interior was decorated so nice with a beach theme and we had everything we needed to cook a few meals, wash a load of clothes and sit either on the dock or in the screened porch after getting back from a day on the water. Marco & Lisa really have tried to think of everything to make your stay enjoyable. I will say as a bit of additional information, we typically bring two boats when we come this way and another couple joins us, so I caution you, that the dockage would not allow for that, even though the house could accommodate the extra people. The parking for two boat trailers would not be a problem though, since the driveway has plenty of room. With that said, we were very pleased with this home/location and wouldn’t hesitate to come back or recommend to others. Thank you, Marco & Lisa, for the opportunity to stay at your place and such great communication throughout.

We had a great stay! Loved the quiet and the yard! So close to everything we wanted to go to. We appreciated all the dog parks and trails. We went to the beaches daily and enjoyed the restaurants.

The house is very kid friendly with a fenced back yard and lots of games. Kitchen was well supplied with pots and pans to cook full meals. There were extra blankets and towels. We had a great stay!*If you bring a boat, the dock and creek is shallow, especially at low tide!
