The host truly thought of every little detail to make our stay easy and perfect. From the welxome snack basket, to the ziplock baggies, to the stocked bathrooms. Thank you for your organization and attention to details. We will be back

This was a very nice place, spacious and comfortable. Love being able to have my boat right in back of the house and the boat ramp is just a few miles down the road. Extremely close to the gulf. Had 21' Hurricane deck boat and made it down the canal to this house on low tide twice. The house is beautiful, clean and well furnished. We had a great time with our family and would definitely love to visit here again.

The house was very thoughtfully equipped with toiletries, a well supplied kitchen, and exceeded expectations in cleanliness & organization. We will definitely be back again
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2023
Property was very clean and accessible. We had an issue with the tides in the canal and ended up having to row our boat back to the dock at one point. It was a good location other wise with access to the channel. We had a great time with family. Will be looking for other places next time with easier access for the boat.
