Water Front Living-Gulf Access- Near Gulf Beaches

The home is thoughtfully supplied and very comfortable. We felt like we were in a private compound & when we closed that gate behind us we did not want to be anywhere else. The kitchen is a pleasure to cook in. The balcony is a wonderful place for morning coffee or twilight meal. The host very accommodating, even the neighbors were super friendly. We had a boat with us for our stay. The boat ramp was so convenient. While there is plenty of water to tie up overnight, we would caution to be extra mindful of the tide charts & be sure you can navigate in shallow waters (under 2ft in some places) if heading out to the Gulf. We fortunately followed a neighbor, who was going out for the day, and learned the best route. The river is absolutely beautiful with many wild areas & mangroves. We had 5 bald eagle spottings! A record for us for sure! Highly, very highly recommend to anyone who would enjoy a peaceful stay.

This location on the water was very peaceful! The home was welcoming. We would stay here again

The house is older and seemed like no one had stayed there for a while because it was pretty dusty. However, the house was comfortable and easy to stay in. Check in and out was very easy and the host was very accommodating when we’re a couple hours late because of flight delays. The biggest issues for us were the fence that is visible along the water in one of the photos isn’t there anymore so it was more worrying with our toddler, the fire pit area was full of nails, the stairs leading up to the deck are wobbly, with a couple steps are at different heights, and people other than the host and guests have access to the property that we weren’t aware of. One of the days of our stay, a nephew was using the garage under the Vrbo house to do work on the property next door. He was friendly but some warning would have been appreciated. The pros are that property is quiet with amazing views. We saw a lot of different wildlife including dolphins, alligators, turtles, fish, ducks, Sandhill cranes, and other birds. The property is near attractions, including a splash pad, and the beach. It is close to groceries stores so we were able to do most of our cooking at the house. It was overall a pleasant stay, but I don’t think I would stay there with a toddler again.

Comfortable place to stay not adequately cleaned ! Lack of owner fixing a complaint or communicating when contacting him. Feel cleaning fee should be refunded after we had to spend our first day cleaning floors, windows and sinks. Also had problems with insects! Supplies were not sufficient for length of stay! Outdoor equipment not as listed bikes flat tires only two paddles for 3 boats. Dock hazardous to use falling in. We reached out to owner twice and He didn’t follow thru.
