Amazing stay! The home, location, amenities, and host were all outstanding. The host was incredibly responsive to any questions we had. We chose this location for manatee watching and the heated pool, both exceeded our expectations.The house was fully stocked with everything we needed (and then some), including a well-equipped kitchen, plenty of clean linens, great appliances, and lots of hot water for showers. So many comfortable seating options both indoors and outdoors. The bedrooms and beds were clean and comfortable.One of my favorite spots in the home was the upstairs porch, where we enjoyed watching the sunrise in the mornings with a warm drink. When the weather turned cooler, the host encouraged us to adjust the pool and spa heat to our liking and walked us through the process step by step. The pool was clean and well maintained.The hosts also provided a helpful binder with information about the home, local activities, and restaurant recommendations. There were tons of great restaurants nearby and plenty of things to do. We chose a different restaurant from the list each night, and every meal was excellent—some even had live music, which was a fun bonus.The boat rental from Jerry’s Pontoons was a huge plus,having the boat right outside our door and it's own dock made it incredibly convenient. It was nice to be able to take the boat out into the open water to do a little exploring . One of the best places we have ever stayed at. We will come back again.

Host was extremely attentive to any tiny issue. We had an issue, just a small one, out of gas for bbq(turned out we were just dummies and the tank was full but the host was going to drop everything and go get us gas. Told them don't worry we will just use the AMAZING KITHEN and overs. Excellent host and home beautifully appointed with pool and spa and giant lanai and dock area. Rented the pontoon boat for a very reasonable price. Nice to have it tied up right on the properties bocks. We caught a out 50 - 60 porgies and grunts. Kept about half and had a nice fish fry. Not enough great things to stay. We are already saving for our next visit.

This vacation rental was equipped with just about anything you could need. Plenty of room for our family of 6 adults, between the game room downstairs, multiple docks to fish off of, kayaks to explore the canals, lounge furniture, bonfire with seating, and more, we did not fall short of things to do. The kitchen had just about any appliance you could need. The only thing that was different was the only set of stairs to access the main floor and the lower level was the spiral stairs outside. Great place to stay and enjoyed our time.
6 / 10Average·May 2025
The property itself is great. The outside area is phenomenal, much better than the pictures show. It has a cooks kitchen, if cooking on vacation is your thing.We had issues with the air conditioning and am not at all satisfied with the way it was handled. We let them know just after noon on Sunday that there was an issue where the living room/ two bedroom area was reaching extreme indoor temperatures. At one point it maxed at at 82 degrees. He did have a window unit delivered, and my son installed, Monday night st 9 PM and the repairman came and fixed it late Tuesday. So almost half the trip had the upstairs at super warm temps. With the price we paid to stay here, I certainly expected more. With what we paid, just get someone there to get the problem fixed, prior to being almost halfway thru our trip. Also, we had to keep inquiring as to the status and I didn’t feel like we should have to do that. Simply communicate so we would know what was going on.Had we not had the AC issues, it would have been a much better experience. I understand that things happen, but you should tend to them quickly.
