You will find this home inviting and stocked with everything needed. The beds are super comfortable, which is incredibly important. The hosts are accessible, if needed...but you won't find you need them much, if at all, as they've thought of and provided everything! The pool area is great just for relaxing if it's a bit too early in the year to enjoy the water. This place is the perfect get-away home! ##### Wendy B.

The house had the traditional 3 bedroom 2 bath setup. Nice pool area and the back yard was nice and big with a fire pit over looking a canal. Very nice boat dock with a hightop table for 2\. The only issue we had was dealing with the hot water in the bathrooms. Strange enough you had to keep turning it off then back on to get your shower completed. Yet, the outside shower, we had no issues at all. I would stay at this house again, it was relaxing for sure! ##### Brenda W.

Also we were there for a motorcycle rally, and plenty of parking for bikes, trailer, and our truck. Thanks! Will definitely stay here again! ##### Mindy A.

So many nice things about this home! The location was perfect for us since we had family in the area. We walked our canine family member every morning when it was cool and had daily runs and the neighborhood was perfect for both. Our 3 teenagers loved fishing off the dock and plenty of wildlife to see! The inside of the house was extremely clean and spacious. A tropical depression had formed and the homeowner reached out to see if all was well and if there was anything we needed. We will be back! ##### Christina M.

January was a bit chilly due to unforeseen storms so we didn't have a chance to boating or swimming in pool. Maybe next visit. ##### Sumiko C.
