Amazing Hosts & Property

I had an absolutely fantastic stay! The beds were incredibly comfortable, making it easy to get a great night’s sleep every night. The property was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a long-term stay—plenty of kitchen supplies, a washer and dryer, and even little extras that made it feel like home. The hosts were amazing—attentive, friendly, and always ready to help out with anything I needed. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming stay!

Fantastic Week Away

What an incredible week away. We usually do the main touristy areas but wanted to try something different this year and man are we ever glad we did. This property is a hidden gem. The kayaks were an amazing treat. We took them out to Tampa bay to watch the sunset one night and to swim on a sand bar another time where we got to see stingrays. We had a dolphin swim next to us while in the kayaks and almost daily had one swim by the canal while we were on the dock. The manatee visitor centre is a great local, free event, although your best time to go there is Ianuary and February. The house itself is quaint and has more than enough space for a family of 5 (which is what we were). The host is extremely generous and easy to reach if there is any questions or anything at all. We had zero issues and would recommend the property to anyone. The area is sooo quiet and safe. Enjoyed a morning jog several times in the week and enjoyed meeting several neighbours while out. One thing I will note about the area is that there isn’t too much ground that doesn’t require a bit of a commute, so our kids did get tired of driving everywhere but the home and the wildlife experiences definitely made up for it!
