We had a very pleasant stay at the Gecko House. While our stay was for only 2 nights, we enjoyed it. The house was well appointed and the furniture was very comfortable -- it felt homey! The screened in porch was a huge bonus, particuilarly at night. Our host, Kelly was super responsive to all our requests and very accommodating where possible. I recommend this to anyone looking for a nice getaway!

Excellent location, spacious rental, great for a short stay. Great for boating, across from boat ramp and quick access to gulf. Linens could use an update. Kitchen is not very well stocked, if you are planning an extended stay or cooking all your meals you will need to bring your own utensils, limited availability at rental.

Communication with the management was quick and pleasant. The house was extremely clean and spacious. We really enjoyed watching the activity at the boat ramp across the canal.
