10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
We had a wonderful 2 week stay this summer. The hosts were great communicators and everything was as described in the listing. Our highlights were enjoying the screened in pool overlooking the canal, exploring the bay by boat (and using the great dock for snack breaks) and curling up on the super comfy couch for movie nights. We really appreciated the pool floats and toys and all of the well thought out small touches throughout the house (board games, tons of pool towels, outdoor fridge, soap, conditioner and body wash in the showers, etc.) The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful but is close to all the major necessities. We had a great time!

This house was amazing! The back patio with the pool and tiki bar was huge. Plenty of seating options in the sun, shade, and in the pool. There were some pool floats, toys, and life vests also for the kids. I couldn’t think of anything that the house was missing. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need. Plenty of blankets, pillows, and towels. Great neighborhood also. Pizza, ice cream, bars, grocery, and plenty more all within a 5-10 minute drive. I highly recommend this house for pretty much any occasion

This was our second time visiting this property and it was great again. Our kids loved the pool. It’s a great spot with Publix just 5 minutes away and many restaurants around. Would definitely recommend this property.
