This is the second trip my family has made and we truly love everything about it! Just being there take away all life's stress and my family truly has time to connect. The access to the water is key for all the water activities we love. We will be back again!

Secluded Haven
The space is wonderful. Large rooms, beautiful location, beautifully maintained grounds, and very clean inside the unit. Unfortunately the outdoor grill was very dirty and the two lounge chairs were ripped and unusable. The outdoor chairs and tables were fine. Be prepared for some glorious sunsets. Signage inside the house was at odds with the online information regarding check out. WiFi network name and password were incorrect online and so is what is posted in the house. Use the information on the router (requires standing on a chair to see) for the correct information. The kitchen is well stocked. The dock and beach (?) area are fantastic. Launching kayaks is a breeze! We all had a wonderful trip.

Not worth the cost
My family and I spent Christmas here, the house was dirty (I spent the first 2 hr cleaning it). Bed in master was not too bad but my kids completed that there's was uncomfortable. Very dated house.. The dock was the best part of the home, we were able to fish and snorkel off the dock and the kids loved that. All in all if the price was way less it would be worth it to stay but not for what we paid.

Really great spot!!
We had a great stay this year at this location. It is so secluded and peaceful. As mentioned in other reviews, the property is a little dated but it didn't bother us at all as it was clean and well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked with all the pans and dishes you would need. The only minor complaint we have is about the outdoor seating. The loungers are really beat up--dripping rust water when you moved them and ripped chairs. We would have also loved more seating options outside on the lower level/dock. We would love to return someday!

Beautifully Tucked Away Paradise
This property is fantastic! The location is off the beaten path enough for privacy but also close enough to anything you could want (groceries, restaurants, bait and more). The dock is fantastic and easily accommodated our boat. Tons of fish can be caught right off the dock and watching the key deer run through the yard in the evenings is amazing. Highly recommend! Just make sure you bring a head lamp to enjoy the dock area at night.

Slice of Paradise
This home was perfect for our vacation. We rented a boat for 4 days, but only used it for 2 days. The home had everything we needed so there was no need to venture off. We stayed on the dock the majority of the time. We snorkeled, paddleboard, and fished. In person, the property was way more beautiful! The home was super clean. We are hoping to rent again!
