Great Trip and Location!

We were a large group (10) of guys looking for a spot for a duck hunting trip and this place was perfect! Great location, perfect space for cooking / hanging out and all the room we needed. Cory was in contact early and often. He even went out of his way to come fix the heat when a break switched on us (even after we assured him we’d be okay without it). Overall this place was awesome and we’ll be back for sure

Venice review

Cory is an incredible host. His communication and willingness to help us with all of our questions was unmatched. We only had 4 people on this trip but the boat could easily handle many more. The outside deck with the TV was a great place for us to meet after a long day of fishing to enjoy cocktails and cigars. Boat captains will come pick you up at the back of the boat making arrival and departure very easy. Every bed was clean and comfortable, the showers were hot and the views in the early morning and late evening were unmatched. Would recommend this place every time, we plan on staying here when we come back in Feb/Mar! Thank you for everything Cory.
