It was so close to visit Buccaneer Bay and the mermaid show and Pine Island. We also loved being at the house right on the water. We all kayaked and paddle boarded and swam in the water. We ended the days roaring marshmallows. The house was very clean and well stocked. We even had three manatee encounters, but I didn’t have my phone on me to take a picture. We can’t wait to come back! ##### Kyle ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judy P. 2 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic Time with Friends and Family This place is a prime spot for swimming and kayaking.

The river is practically in the back yard! Great views and easy access for swimming and kayaking. We encountered two small issues that were caused by us and management was very supportive and resolved both issues promptly. Would definitely return and highly recommend this location to anyone wanting to spend time on crystal clear river. There are several step up/down locations in addition to a 2nd story master bedroom and bath. So anyone with mobility issues may have difficulty. Great vacation. Thank you!!! ##### Jeanette L. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeanice M. 21 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Summer getaway This house was perfect for our family. We also rented the apartment so we had the entire house which sleeps 12\. It literally had everything that you needed and more. We had 3 small children ages 6,5 and 3 and the location on the river was exactly what we needed. It was very shallow right off the dock so we were able to put floats in the water and just hang right there while the kids played. Or we could take one of the kayaks or paddle boards down the river. We saw so many manatees and even dolphins right off our dock. We look forward to renting this house for many summers to come!! Super clean and quick responsive management made our trip easy and enjoyable! We were looking for a peaceful relaxing summer vacation and that’s exactly what we got! Cannot wait to stay here again next summer!! ##### Jeanice M.
