Very clean and comfortable home with perfect outdoor spaces and warm and higher end inside. Location couldn’t be better with access to beach, Pine St, and rest of island. Absolutely loved it and we will be back!

We have rented a different home on this island every year for at least 10 years. A different home each time. This was by far our favorite. 4 large bedrooms with a comfortable living space large enough for everyone. Comfortable beds and furniture. A large pool and hot tub with a large furnished patio surround with 2 large outdoor TV's. All that and a dock large enough for a 30' boat. We also got the quickest response when we needed help with the main TV and the hot tub. Someone was there quickly every time. 10 out of 10 We will rent it again.

Great house
We loved our stay! The kitchen is very well stocked with most anything. There is original art throughout the nicely decorated home. There is plenty of room to spread out. The outdoor living areas including the pool and fire pit are great. We did see manatees a few days in the canal! It's close to the uncrowded and beautiful beach. There are 2 wagons, several chairs and coolers for the beach. The fire pit ran out of gas and the management company sent someone quickly to take care of it. The only thing I can think that was truly missing were dish cloths and more wash cloths. I took these as that has been common at beach rentals.
