You couldn't ask for a better location for crabbing, wade fishing, and kayaking. The host was responsive, and the stay was great overall. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Charles!
Over all a beautiful home with an amazing view and great peaceful location we enjoyed the canal we caught fish and relax next to the water. We will definitely rent this home again. The host was very welcoming and very helpful. Responded quickly
We enjoyed our stay. There were things that were wrong but the owner took care of most of them and is handling the rest. Great communication and a beautiful home. Over all it was a great home with breath taking views.
Our stay was amazing this was a perfect location.
We fished and hung out at the beach. The walk to the beach and bay was close. We caught tons of fish. Charles is great to work with. The house keeper gave us some ideas to take the kids and they loved it. We will be back soon.
We were celebrating the life of our son who recently tragically passed. We wanted to hold something on the beach for our closest family. With rain coming so often these days, we searched for a place on our son’s favorite beach that would be the perfect place in case it rained. The beautiful large home faces a canal that leads straight to Christmas Bay. On the opposite side of the home, a small road leads just several houses down directly to the beach/ocean. The best of both worlds.
Charles is a fantastic host. Communication was very easy & timely. The home itself couldn’t have been more lovely. Spacious kitchen w/a large island to prepare food. 11 of us slept very comfortably. We would love to return and are already trying to set that up. Thank youCharles!
Perfect location walking distance to beach, canal front, and boat ramp just up the road. Plenty of space for my family to stretch out and enjoy the beautiful views of the water and wetlands. Excellent communication with host.
Beautiful home and great location for fishing, crabbing, beaching and relaxing! The host was more than accommodating and quick to respond to all questions!
This property had everything we needed to make our Easter vacation wonderful. Plenty of room for everyone, very clean and great fishing.
We will be back
This property was great! Plenty of room for my group of 10 and room to spare. A short walk to the beach. Beautiful views surround this property! A must for any family wanting to get away!
Wonderful location and a beautiful home! The house had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was well stocked, and we had plenty of room to prepare meals each day. We spent majority of our time fishing in the canal and the bay, plus enjoying the beach which was minutes away. The outside area was wonderful. Our stay was relaxing and peaceful and we hope to return next year!
This house should have adequate patio furniture. You have to bring your own chairs and table upstairs and then back down when needed downstairs. Not enough skillets and pots for cooking for large groups. The house was perfect, other than that
Plac was awesome Good not ask for a better house or location. Teenagers had a blast fishing crapping playing at the beach
One downside one bathroom was not clean. Overall will rent again
Thanks to the owners
The location was perfect! Able to crab and fish at the house and bay. Bought a pass to be able to park our car on the beach which meant no dragging all our stuff across the sand. There was plenty of space - our group of 9 never felt like we were on top of each other but we had ample space to eat and hang out. We will choose this house again.
House was super clean and in a great location. We had a problem with the upstairs AC unit and even though it was Sunday night, July 3rd the maintenance guy came and took care of it in a prompt manner. Boat slip behind the house is great but make sure your boat can run shallow. My 22' pathfinder couldn't get out of the canal into the bay at low tide. So your boat will need to run in 1' or less. You can't blame the homeowner for this, just something to be aware of if you are brining a boat.
Overall out stay was great, communication and help/suggestions from owner where great. She was always available when needed and help us out with our questions. The house is clean and has plenty of useful things all around the house which is a plus in case you forget something. The house has plenty of space and is within walking distance to the beach and Bay Area. We caught fish and kids Miley’s seeing the hermit crabs. Beach is nice and not crowded. The only downfall was the mosquitoes they ate us alive, it was really bad, bugs spray did nothing to them. We even bought citronella candles and a fogger which helped for about an hour and then it was the same, other than that we enjoyed our stay. So if you can bring something that works to help with the mosquitos, you will enjoy your stay even better. Thank you for being so helpful during our stay!

Not impressed
Started off when I double checked our reservation for bed sizes and realized that one of the bedrooms had been changed to an office a week before vacation and I was not notified. When I messaged charles I was assured that he would put back a queen size bed downstairs. When one of my guests rolled off the bed I found out that they had put a full size foam over a futon, this caused an overhang with no support. Additionally, I was then informed that the is no difference in size between full and queen. The refrigerator was nasty, dried and spilled food, and a wad of black hair inside. The ac filter did not look like it had ever been replaced. Floors had not been swept, I was told it is hard to get help there and my messages were sent to the cleaning people. Although Charles seemed helpful, he really didn't do anything except make excuses. I would not recommend this house for a family vacation

Sewer problem
Pros:
- Large, there’s plenty of space
- Great views of Christmas Bay and decent views of the Gulf from a couple rooms
- Has dock and area to clean fish/outdoor shower
- Kayak Launch at the end of the road
- Public beach across the road was decent
Cons:
- Terrible sewer problem, raw sewage leaking down the road and all in the driveway where we parked cars (horrible smell)
- Multiple campers/small RV park right next door
- Was not clean, smelly trash left outside and trash was not emptied in bathrooms from prior guests
- SHALLOW water in Christmas Bay and in the cut/dock next to the camp. Average 1-2 feet - sometimes shallower. I couldn’t use the launch or dock with my boat. Ended up launching in Surfside 15-20 mins away
- Couldn’t fish Christmas Bay with my 20’ Bay boat that drafts 1’. SUPER SHALLOW. Average depth is probably 1’-1.5’
- No stores or bait shops anywhere close (Surfside)
- Home did not have any toilet paper, we had to drive 20 mins away to get some
- Lots of traffic on road going to Kayak launch
Might work for people getting together for a Kayak/Beach trip if property was better cared for, but not for people who are looking for saltwater fishing from a boat. Won’t be back.
7 Adults, 5 kids (2-8), 3 dogs. Great location and set up for our family. Short walk to the beach. Crabbing with the kids right under the house. Room for the dogs to play. I'm sure the fishing is good judging from all the kayaks & wade fishermen in the bay.
