The intracoastal waterway provided entertaining daily views of boat traffic, as well as birdlife and dolphin sightings. The home itself was spacious and lovely, with thoughtful touches throughout and a well-supplied kitchen for some home-cooked meals. Local restaurants were good and shopping of all kinds was convenient and close. William and Milissa were very responsive and helpful before, during, and after our stay. We would all love to return for a longer time in future ! ##### Janis H.
