The house was very cute and clean. The location was great. It was easy to put our boat in the water and explore the river and the gulf. The river was beautiful. We enjoyed kayaking and morning coffees on the dock swing watching the gorgeous nature all around.

The house was exactly as advertised, we had a group of 8, 2 adults and 6 children and we fit perfectly in the space. Everyone loved the kayaks and watching the manatees swim by. My son says he wants to come back to this house next summer. That’s high praise as he is pretty much impossible to please. Karen made check in a breeze and checked on us throughout our stay to make sure all was well. I highly recommend this house for a fun and relaxing getaway.

Living our best river life! 🛶 Between the kayaking, fishing, and tree-jumping, we didn't want the days to end. We even got lucky with the local wildlife—dolphins, otters, manatees, and turtles all made an appearance! Wish we had a few more days, but we’ll be back soon!

This house is in the perfect location on the main river. The house and kitchen are well appointed for any length of stay. We saw so many manatees, a river otter and a pair of dolphins. The weather was rainy one day and the screened porch was the ideal location to sit and relax while still enjoying the river view. Karen is a fantastic host. She was very responsive to my questions and so kind. We can’t wait to return!
