This property was exactly what we needed for an extended weekend getaway. The host was prompt with responding to messages and answering our questions. The house was perfect for 2 of us. Kitchen appliances are nice and seem to be upgraded. Unique decor added extra flair to the house. We brought electric bikes to ride around/to the beach and were able to tie our boat right in front of the house on the canal. We were welcomed by wild horses in the yard upon our arrival. We will definitely be back and absolutely recommend this property to other travelers!

Very clean and well stocked property. We enjoyed the seclusion along with a nice fire in the fire pit by the sound. We had horses visit most mornings on and around the cottage. Would definitely stay again.

I loved the property. Submerged in nature. Was so nice to see ospreys and herons, wild horses everywhere. I loved offroading everywhere, it was so fun. Every turn had a new adventure for me and my dog. The house is tiny but the property is very large. I don't think that should deter anyone. The owners went above and beyond to help me with airing my tires down. They were fantastic hosts. Me and my dog had a great time.

House was pet friendly and on the canal. The home was easy to access and was well stocked for a vacation. Only concerns were mosquitoes at night but once you follow the recommendations of the homeowner, there were no problems. Highly recommend staying at this home if you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation!

The property was amazing and just as advertised. We came for the wild horses and were not disappointed as they appeared multiple times each day. Driving down the beach road was just so much fun to experience. It was the perfect get away for our family of four. Places to rest and relax, near the beach, and water activities in the back.
