Fantastic Stay

We loved staying here. It was a dream location for us, quiet and relaxing with plenty to do. We saw dolphins and manatees, herons and ducks from (or in) the front lawn. We had our own private dock for fishing or just relaxing. Loved the kayaks. The large screened in porch became a great family gathering place. We had all that we needed and more.
