The house is perfectly situated for quick access with our boat to lots of great fishing. The pool is so nice for cooling off after a day on the water fishing. The house is beautiful with plenty of room for my family of 4. There is so much to do in the area as well. There are trails with boardwalks just a few minutes from the house.
