Great Location

We enjoyed being right on the water to fish and kayak in the mornings and evening but also close to the beach. Easy to get to restaurants but also well stocked with utensils, pans, etc to cook on site.

Last minute get away

We booked this trip as a last minute getaway before school started. The kids enjoyed fishing and trying to catch crabs in the canal. They also enjoyed the kayaks. We also enjoyed easy access to the beach

Family Trip

We enjoyed our time here very much. Everyone had a blast fishing and kayaking up and down the canals. Kitchen was well stocked, which I love because we always do home cooked meals even when on vacation. Hostess was also very attentive and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Spring Break get away

This property was a great size for our family of 4, plus a guest and our dog. The multiple outdoor decks were a big plus, as was the large yard for the pet. We were able to fish right from the back yard, but it is definitely more of a canal fishing experience. Boat access is very easy. From living room to bedroom to kitchen, the interior was very comfortable. The climate control was powerful and updated. When we first arrived, there was a little issue with the internet, however, the host was extremely responsive and the issue was immediately resolved. Would stay here again.

Thanksgiving trip

The house is in a cute neighborhood and it has plenty of parking. The outside area has a ping pong table and seating but it was a bit chilly and rained during our trip so we didn’t spend a ton of time under there sitting! The first deck is nice and painting but again the weather didn’t cooperate with us. The upper deck is in need of some repairs and we didn’t venture up there. The updates are nice but the house is in need of a good deep cleaning. There is dust on the ceiling above the stove, on the baseboards, under the beds. There were dead bugs in the corners when we arrived. The house had a bit of a damp feeling to it. Maybe we caught it on an off time, I’m not sure.

This was a short trip but, such a quaint scenic location. Backyard off Bay was large with plenty to do. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others. Very short drive to beach and a convenient store in neighborhood!

Canal fun!

This is our second stay in this house. The house is spacious, lots of room with bunk beds and fully stocked kitchen. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Just a short drive to the beach, but there is plenty to do on the canal with paddle board and kayaks. You will love this place!

Very fun house!

First of all Kathy is amazing, she is very responsive with any information you might need. The house was exactly as it was presented in the listing. We went with our daughter and her family, the grandkids were never board (which is a tall feet for kids age 6,10,and 13 ) the games at the house were so much fun! We spent a lot of time kayaking in the canals with the kayaks and paddle boards provided at the house. The only negatives would be there are not enough towels for a large group with small kids (we did have the ability to wash them in the washer and dryer provided) and the beds were a little hard for our taste but not awful. Over all the positives far out weighed the negatives and we would definitely stay here again.

Okay but …..

Smaller than expected. Yard area was nice but mosquitoes were awful so we couldn’t sit outdoors at all. Canal was full of trash. Some dishes were put in cabinets dirty. Kitchen was Adequately stocked. Door knobs need tightened. Price per night is high for this accommodation.

Anyway getaway

The house was spotless and beds very comfortable. Connivence to beach, restaurants and entertainment great. We were disappointed of the outside deck on house and stairs need help boards rotted and exposed nails. Not able to fish off deck water wasn’t ever over 2 ft. We did enjoy the peace and quiet sitting on the new deck over boat house. Overall we are happy with the stay.
