Beautiful, peaceful location, clean and nice place. Gary responded to my messages and questions promptly.The screen porch near the river was nice for have morning coffee, and ensuring there weren't bugs when sitting out in the evening.The couches are different from the pictures shown on the listing, but both are pull out sofa beds, full size (not queen).

I’m kind of a clean freak. I cleaned when we got there. It could’ve been cleaner. Otherwise the place could be our home away from home. The barking dogs next door were somewhat annoying. The owner was super-responsive. We will be back as we have friends & family in the area.

A lovely spot on the river. Each morning, we enjoyed coffee while watching the mullet splash with joy! Lots of bird watching in the area, too.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2024
Essentially the enclosed space of a "stilt-house". Very cramped, especially the bath tub/comode/sink. Had no dining table, only 4 elevated bar chairs for a short counter. Communication with host did not begin well: aside from the entry code and WiFi password, greeting message was a litany of threatened "fines", including trying to pass responsibility for an inadequate septic tank ($200 "fine" if it clogged). Would not recommend this property or others of his ownership.
