Beautiful Stay!
Our family enjoyed a week’s stay! Amazing views, amenities, and location! The house was amazing with the master suite upstairs. All levels of the home have awesome views of the bay with shade throughout the day. The home was clean, well kept, and inviting. We enjoyed the water side pool and hot tub! The outdoor area is amazing with an outdoor TV, plenty of seating, and shade! The house has a beach access 3-5 blocks away which makes this place even nicer! We plan on coming back next year! Book and you will enjoy!

A pleasant stay for all with no issues. Great fishing off the dock. We were visited by manatees most days. A heron and egret would spend the entire day with us. Will definitely return.

Hurricane Debby Vaca!
We started with Hurricane Debby but ended up with a gorgeous week! The house was amazing to just hang out in during the storm. So much space and open living room and kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay!!

***Amazing***
This house is amazing! We had six people total staying in the house and there was more than enough room! We cooked almost the entire seven days. We were there plenty of space in the kitchen and cooking items. The outdoor space is phenomenal and the views are fantastic! The boat ramp was perfect for our 24 foot boat even with low tides! I would recommend this place to anyone well worth every dime we spent

Awesome property
We were in awe of the manatees that swam by daily & even had a dolphin swim by. Great location for bike & kayaking, these were delivered right to the house. Enjoyed movie nights on the lanai. Close to the beach & grocery store. It was a wonderful week!

Incredible stay!
Our family of four had an incredible time vacationing here. The location was gorgeous. We enjoyed fishing off the dock and watching the manatee swim by. We also spotted dolphin. The outdoor area was great for dinner every night and a nice spot to listen to the rain. The pool and hot tub were perfect temperature. Gorgeous views from the master and kitchen. We can’t wait to be back!
