Golfing Girls Stay

Very nice property. Accommodating 8 ladies perfectly. We loved everything about the house however the shower water pressure was a bit less than desirable. The pool was clean and relaxing for us each day after golf. The beds were extremely comfortable! Would definitely stay here again.

Experience it all!

First of all, the owners of this property have taken care of so many amenities from simple needs (extra toothbrush) to kayaks! Before we even left, my questions were answered within a short time so that we could plan accordingly. The home is located on a wonderful place in the canal where you can see Little Bay as well as stay perfecty nestled down in the backyard to enjoy the sunshine! The set up of the rooms is also perfect for families to enjoy napping while others can be up enjoying the night without intruding on one's slumber. We loved this house and will hopefully be returning sooner than later in the future!

Coffee with the dolphins

We seen dolphins in Little bay every morning and a few times in the evening. The house was everything it says it is and more. There were no life jackets for the kayaks. A quick trip to Walmart however remedied that. We fished a lot and caught a wide variety of fish. All in all it was a wonderful home, beautiful and comfortable.

The Rockport House

The house was beautiful the location aswell .Of course the had life jackets that were missing so I couldn't go canoeing. Some of the items in the house need fixing .But for the most part it was amazing. The house was very cold and comfy..
