There is close proximity to local beaches and some cute restaurants and a surprisingly good small grocery store. Check in and out were easy, instructions were thorough and when I did need help from property management they were responsive and respectful (I discovered the washer door was broken from prior travelers).Kids loved the pool and boat dock, sunsets were rather beautiful. The only recommendation I have is to provide more bath towels. Would stay again if the opportunity arises. ##### Michelle D.

We loved this house so much last year, we didn’t even look at any new ones for this years trip. This house checks all the boxes. It’s clean, homey, great pool & outdoor space, great fishing right off the dock, & unbeatable sunsets! We rent a golf cart every year (which I highly suggest doing) and it’s a quick little drive to the bait shop, little store, the park, & the restaurant which we visit often. The AC is amazing, beds are comfy, and the many docks are perfect for drinking coffee & watching all the boats go by. It’s just an all around great rental for a family vacation. Highly recommend this house. We will absolutely be returning to this home for our annual trip again next year! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3d27e4db-9f21-47d5-be0c-1e819b9832d3-1748140972670.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cde03414-6b00-49b0-b5b3-bebce70d4683-1748140972759.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sammy A.

Pool is shaded in the morning hours. Full sun in the later afternoon. Shower outside was nice to rinse sand off. Be sure to bring any kitchen cleaner stuff you may want. There is a keurig and blender for those wondering. Bring any tuppperware you may need to store leftovers etc. There is a bulkhead and beach house under construction right across the canal. Was a tad noisy with a jackhammer most of the day. Washing machine latch was broken. So check on those things if it matters to you. But we loved the property. Had hard time finding pool light switch, its by the pool equipment. ##### Rhonda K.
