We enjoyed our 3-night stay at this home. The kitchen was well stocked with necessities, and it was a plus for having an air fryer. Kids enjoyed fishing off the canal as well as the neighborhood pier. The property was pet-friendly and provided pet bowls for guests to use. The safety gate at the top of the stairs was nice to have. We noticed, though we did not need it, that there were baby/toddler amenities (high chair & pack n play) stowed in the closet. Neighbors were nice as well!

The home was nice not many outlets. Beautiful scenery. In master room we found 2 dead roaches and in restrooms a live one. There were no life vest for kayaks. We went to celebrate a friends birthday unfortunately the hot tub was not in service also.
Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 12 January 2026
Thank you Blanca for your input. We apologize for your issues. We do not understand. the comment about outlets, as there are four outlets above the kitchen counter and one or two on every wall in all the rooms. We are very troubled by the insect problem and have had the exterminator come and spray the entire house. There are several life vests of various sizes for the kayaks. They are hanging in the storage shed and in the bar room adjacent to the refrigerator, as mentioned in the listing. The hot tub is awaiting electrical access, and since it is not available, it is not included in the listing. We are available 24/7 to answer questions and resolve issues. We hope you will consider visiting us again and promise all issues will be rectified.

Great One-Night Stay

We had a one night stay so our son and his friends could fish and go to the beach. House was clean and in good location. Caught some tout of the pier and the boys had fun fishing off the community pier.

Thank you, Vinh,for the review. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. I am a bit surprised that you found the house a bit small, as it has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, LR, DR, and Kitchen, comprising almost 1200 sq ft in addition to the two enormous decks.

The house was spacious and well-maintained. The beds were comfortable, and we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The host was very responsive to all our questions and made the check-in/out process super easy. He very thoughtfully provided several lists of things to do and how to access the kayaks and the canal. The property offered great value for the price. We felt like we got a lot for what we paid. We had such a wonderful time and would definitely book this property again.

We stayed a month in Bob and Carmen’s home, and we had a very nice stay. The neighborhood was nice, it was safe and we made quite a few visits to the neighborhood Marina/bar/restaurant. We rented a golf cart so we could get to the beach a bit easier. The home was clean and the beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed the outdoor deck and we even caught a couple fish off it.
