10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
Beautiful location on the bay, many birds and fish, both sunrise and sunset are visible from the house. House was clean and well stocked. We prepared Thanksgiving Dinner for family and had all that we needed and plenty of room.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
House was clean and well stocked. Great views, beautiful pool deck and comfortable beds! Also great communication throughout our stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
This house fit our family's needs perfectly. 11 of us (including a 2 yr old) were in the area for a wedding and all enjoyed our stay.
6 / 10Average·Jan 2025
There were 11 of us that stayed at this house. Ages 8-72. We were very impressed with the views - and really enjoyed seeing the gulf of Mexico. There were always birds of all kinds to be seen and one day we saw dolphins out in the distance! We from MI weather and was looking forward to the 'heated" pool and "hot" tub. That being said - we were very disappointed with the the limited ability to enjoy using the pool and hot tub.We understood that the weather was very cold for FL but the discription of those amenities were misleading. The manager of the property did inform me, after I texted (asking why the hot tub wasn't warming up after an hour of having it turned on)-that the hot tub may have a hard time keeping up to temperature. But it wasn't until after I called the manager and left a message, did I receive an email (hours later) explaining the type of heating system they have for the pool and hot tub. They have a heat pump and it truly isn't designed for cooler weather and for keeping the pool and hot tub up to a tolerable temperature. We understood at that point that we wouldn't be able to enjoy being in the water like we thought - all 11 of us were VERY frustrated. If the information about the heating system would have been in the discription - we would not have stayed at this house. The email wasn't sent to me until Friday- 3 days after we arrived... 3 days of going back and forth with the manager and trying to understand why the hot tub wasn't tolerable
