Family trip

This was a beautiful property. It was located in a nice neighborhood. It is right on the water and we enjoyed fishing right outside the back door. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect Family Getaway with Stunning Water Views

My family and I recently stayed at this lovely VRBO property and had an absolutely fantastic time. The house was immaculate, well stocked with everything we needed, and incredibly comfortable. The highlight for us was the beautiful water view from the property. We spent hours sitting on the deck, enjoying the peaceful scenery. Our four-year-old granddaughter was especially delighted to feed the birds and ducks that visited the area regularly. It was a truly magical experience for her, and for us as well. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with beautiful surroundings. The hosts were also very attentive and accommodating, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We can't wait to come back!

Thanksgiving family reunion

The condo was clean and comfortable. There is some maintenance that should be addressed to make the stay great. 1) batteries for fireplace remote were corroded. We replaced them. 2) pendant light over island was burnt out. We replaced it. 3) water filter in fridge needs to be replaced and beeped after every use. 4) there was only one ceramic bowl for Cereal/fruit/ice cream. 5) vanity drawers in master bathroom were gross and need to be covered. 6) tub faucet in master is leaking Finally, we stayed a week but there was no drawer space or enough hangers to unpack. Regardless, we enjoyed our stay. Neighbors were friendly and back deck/view was enjoyable. But lounge furniture pictured in listing was not present. It was replaced with a table and chairs.

The only way to stay in FL

We booked our stay on a whim and it proved to be exceptional. Normally we stay in hotels but decided to compare rates for this trip. The condo we chose was only $200 more for the week versus a hotel in the area. The value far exceeded that amount. Everyone had their own bedroom plus we had a full kitchen to prepare meals. The location was ideal too. It was right on the bay and only minutes from the beach, shops, and restaurants. The condo was clean and comfortable and provided everything we needed to feel at home. We will definitely stay here again.
