Beautiful view!
Everything was very nice and clean. Nice size deck and great location. Outdoor furniture was indoors, due to it being off season, but easily moved on to deck. Will stay here again.. thanks for sharing your home with my family.

Quiet weekend getaway
The house was a great place for a weekend getaway for two. We enjoyed sunset on the deck, sitting on the porch and feeling the evening breeze, and the beautiful views. The house was clean and cozy.

Super Comfortable Space!
We Loved the location! One street over from the boat ramp. Super nice house with plenty of entertaining space. The neighbors were helpful and the views were awesome with all the wrap around porches. Dolphins came into the cove every morning. Fishing was good and scalloping was fun as always. We definitely will rent again!

The View!!
The investment in windows and the decking was worth every penny! So amazing. The deck on the canal has a perfectly constant breeze and the perfect spot for sunset watching and sipping! The house was just perfect and we talked about planning another stay while sitting on the front porch watching the boats go by. Thank you!

Nice couples house
Great house for a couple or two. The house is well equipped and comfy. Lots of outdoor spaces to watch the sunsets. Ice machine was a real plus for fishing trips and the cleaning station is great too. Good water hoses and lots of exterior outlets for boat/fish cleaning and charging batteries. Took a minute to figure out the best way to park the truck and trailer but it is doable.

About the host

Hosted by Stuart and Terry Bennett

Host profile image
We live in Michigan's Upper Peninsula which we love. We live in a log home that we built ourselves, mostly as a camp, when our kids were little. We live on Conway Lake with Lake Superior 1/4 mile away. After our kids grew up and left home, and after we retired, we decided to sell our home in Marquette and move to our camp, 20 minutes north of Big Bay, MI. We love the peace and the beauty of nature and feel very fortunate to live the lifestyle that we have chosen.

Why they chose this property

When we decided to get away from winter for a month or two, we rented a home in Old Town, FL. We went for a drive one day to find some local shrimp and someone suggested Horseshoe Beach. We fell in love with it right away. In driving around, we noted that this house was for sale. We had not planned to buy, but decided to check the house out and we both felt it was meant to be! We were so impressed with the views and the town itself, that we made an offer. We love it here and now spend 4 months here every winter.

What makes this property unique

Fishing, fishing and fishing! This is the place to be! A quiet, peaceful place to unwind and relax. Not as many people as there is in other towns/cities in Florida. And, we have become friends with many people in town, who appreciate the same.
