The Kayakers Retreat, Waterfront,King Bed w/Waterviews, Kayaks & bikes Included

My family of 4 enjoyed staying at this wonderful home. Having direct dock access to Governors Creek was amazing. Mornings were delightful with a view of fish jumping out of the water and a manatee gracefully swimming. We went kayaking several times, giving us the ability to observe various water birds like egrets and many turtle families. It was nice to be able to kayak on a whim w/o the expense of renting equipment, nor having to make reservations/stress about getting somewhere on time. Evenings were spent playing as a family in the garage: cornhole, foosball, ping pong, and darts. I can say with confidence that everyone's skills in ping pong and foosball vastly improved. We used the fire pit one evening as well to roast marshmallows! The grill was great for burgers, hot dogs, and steaks. Propane was provided. Downstairs there is 1 bedroom with 2 twin beds, a full bathroom, and a daybed with a pullout trundle bed underneath. Upstairs there is a bedroom with a king size bed with the deck overlooking the creek, and another bedroom with a king sized bed. A full bathroom is in between the bedrooms. The beds are VERY comfortable. Yes, we heard the train multiple times but because we knew this in advance and were mentally prepared for it, this was not an issue. Although there aren't photos of the bathrooms in the listing (as of this review), rest assured that the bathrooms are nice and modern.The home was clean and was a relaxing oasis for us. I would highly recommend!

Very cute home. It was clean and mostly upgraded. The downstairs shower drain held water but probably just needed cleaning. The train in the back of the property did run a few times during the night but we eventually had to laugh when that happened. Made some great memories.

We loved the quiet neighborhood (though a train runs right by - but didn't really bother us). The views from everywhere out back and on the porch were very relaxing. We loved being able to throw the kayaks easily in the water. We went 1 or 2 times every day we were there. Had it been cooler we would have definitely enjoyed the fire pit. Amazingly enough there were little to no mosquitos or gnats which surprised us being right on the water. Great stay!

Great house for rent but with a limited pots and pand for cooking. Stove burners on low were actually high.
