On the Water....
Clean house, responsive and friendly property manager, Cindy. The house is situated in a manufactured home neighborhood right on a cancal leading to the gulf. We saw dolphins feeding on mullet one evening. That was the highlight of our trip!

A fine week
The house is clean with plenty of room for our group of four. The extra bathroom came in handy. CNN would have been nice for us news junkies. Spent several hours enjoying the fishing right on the dock. Lots of good nearby restaurants.

Relaxing holiday
Everything was great. Had a few issues here and there, but communication was wonderful and quick. The home owners and property manager were very gracious and thoughtful. Our family holiday was a wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again. The house was decorated nicely and had everything I would need, like a home away from home. The inside of the house was very spacious, it accommodated everyone nicely. The outdoor deck and sitting area was a nice space. Just loved sitting out there listening to the water, while the husband was fishing.

Scalloping on July 4th Weekend
The house is exactly as described. It was clean and well equipped with everything you need for a stay. The new owner, Bogdan, was very nice, responsive, and accommodating. I mentioned the coffee maker was broken, and within about 45 minutes he hand delivered a new one to us. The neighbors are also nice and gave us advice on how, and more importantly, WHEN to come in and out of the canals with our boat. I've only seen one other review that mentioned bringing a boat, so I wanted to mention some things. If you are bringing or renting a boat, you have to pay attention to the tides. This was our 3rd year scalloping in Hudson, and the tide swings here can be upwards of 5 feet. The canals are all deep, but the channel out of the neighborhood is lined with rocks and kind of just ends in the middle of a shallow flat (my old GPS shows it as land). At low tide, unless you have the skinniest of boats, you won't be able to get in or out. We brought a 22 foot center console, and we needed at least a 1.5 foot positive tide to get in and out. I played it safe and came in and out at 2 foot. Don't let this worry you too much though, you still get plenty of time on the water between those tides... we were out for 6 or more hours each day and still had extra time. All that is to say, it's a nice place and neighborhood and we would stay again.

Lisa is phenomenal and keeps a beautiful home. This is our second year here and we hope to return again next year. It is a short distance to my mom’s home in FL. Plenty of things to see and do. My kids especially enjoy all the local thrift shops.
