Cozy home, great location, well appointed

We were amazed by the great location and comfort of this cozy home. We had an easy walk along the river just out our front door. The home has a spacious, well-appointed, fenced in back yard that was perfect for our dog to play and great for us to hang out in. Minutes from shopping, dining and a short drive to the beach. Highly recommend!

Hidden gem in paradise

Enjoyed my stay. Beautifully decorated with a "Keys" theme. Pups loved the back yard lots of room to run around and play. Met the owner we watched our three pups play. Sandy and Sonic gave the area two paws up. Ocean air, gentle breeze off the beaten path. Pedro and Laurie are great hosts helping me with any question I had. If you would like a quiet relaxing get away you have found it.
