My family and I rented this great house to attend a birthday party in town. We were all comfortable and enjoyed the pool and hot tub. We should have used the kayaks but could not fit it in with everything else we had planned. I would definitely rent this house again!

It really is an amazing back yard! Hopefully you saw the dolphins playing & swimming. Fishing off the dock where you always catch a fish!!! Relaxing in the large heated pool and hot tub while watching the yachts cruise by. The beautiful sunsets are amazing! Having a boat ramp in your own back yard is awesome too for launching kayaks easily. Just Perfect with the beach a 5 minute walk away!

Thanks so much for writing a review. I’m happy to hear that you had a wonderful week at this large waterfront home. Everyone loves it and returns year after year many weeks out of the year. I made sure the pool was at 89 degrees this time of year. It’s so nice to swim in a warm pool when weather is a little chilly. Hope you had the opportunity to use the kayaks. It’s a lot of fun and the private boat ramp being in your back yard is awesome. Most guest get the chance to see dolphins and love watching them from the fishing dock. Love to hear from you again.
