Great property & best hosts ever!

We had a great week at The Barnacle in late March 2024 with our 4 adult kids. Megan and Glen are probably the best hosts we've had using VRBO over the past 10 years. They truly want their guests to have an awesome stay at their lovely home and go out of their way to make that happen. The house must be newly remodeled as all the furnishings and appliances are brand new and of great quality. The entire house is well-appointed and every room has everything you need to enjoy your stay from the bedrooms to the laundry, even the pool area has special little touches. The property is very large and private and in a fantastic location - right on the canal for boats and launching the kayaks and SUPs which we used every day to explore the back bays of Jug Creek. Two marinas are within walking distance from the house and afford very easy boat rentals and charter fishing. The Bokeelia area is laid back but has ample restaurants and quiet streets for walking/biking. We look forward to coming back! Can't say enough good things about Megan and Glen and their fantastic property!

Fun in sun

House was perfectly put together and everything was top notch. The yard is absolutely huge and amazing. Parking for anything you wanted to bring. Super boater friendly, very quiet, nice place to chill, and or do whatever you want to.
