We loved the location since it was next to Shady gators and H toads which we enjoyed. The draw backs to this place for us was the exterior up keep such as over grown vegitation and general exterior mantinance. Also be warned if u have a big truck or any pwc trailers it may be tough to manage the very steep drive and parking area. Swiming around the dock may not be an option as this property sits on the main channel. Water was pretty rough. Overall its a nice enough spot. Wouldnt be afraid to book again. ##### Shawn M.
