The Cottage was amazing! So clean and comfortable. The entire property was beautiful and so peaceful and quiet. I took the kayak out on the river and it was wonderful. Great location! Stayed with my dog and we could walk to the dog park and the dog beach was only 15 minutes away! We had everything we needed and more. Mona was so communicative! Can’t wait to come back

Enchanting
The most beautiful, enchanting place I’ve ever been! Seriously the most serene place. I saw manatees in the back yard! Turtles come up to your own personal dock. The crystal kayak was a crazy experience! Mona, the property manager is phenomenal! She has everything you could ever need, is very accommodating, and very responsive!! This place was an absolute dream!!
