Loved our stay. Close to everything. Nice and clean. Had everything I needed even stuff I forgot like a lunch bag to pack sandwiches. Loved kayaking and fishing from the backyard. They had plenty of kayaks and we brought own fishing gear. Really clean and loved the decor. Beds were comfy too

From the moment you open the front door and are met by the sunlight steaming through the large windows facing an expansive backyard sloping down to a shimmering canal with an array of colorful kayaks propped on its bank, you know this place is special.

The place was beautiful. Clean. And while it was too cold to enjoy the water, it was nice to walk to the backyard to see it. The host, btw was delightfully non-intrusive with a minimum of check-in and check-out instructions. They responded quickly and concisely. We use VRBO ALOT and are learning to appreciate the owners who are trusting and not demanding with side contracts, impractical restrictions… anyway, I digress: nice house, good location, good hosts.

Enjoyed the house...clean...comfortable mattress which is rare in rentals anywhere these days [mostly cheap hard foam]...Kitchen well stocked/supplied... Covered parking was a nice touch...My only complaint was we couldn't cook our steaks/chicken properly on the worn out burners on the outside grill..Other then that small detail, I would definitely recommend this place.
