Birthday celebration

The William Skelton house is a terrific property. We had a bunch of couples and the house was perfectly located from the fun on Duval street, the marina area and some great restaurants and bars a few minutes away from the stuff of Duval. The property owners were great with answering questions and this property is highly recommended.

Great location. Enjoyed pool at end of long day of fishing. Four adult couples with four bathrooms worked great for us. Full confession ... I broke one plastic tumbler cup - before I even had anything to drink! You're welcome to charge me for that.
