Overall very happy with the property. The pool was wonderful, the beds were super comfy and the extras were much used. It is a very baby friendly house and perfect for our large group, we never felt like we were on top of each other. The location is fantastic as our kids were able to bike to many places. It is a quiet area, with beautiful views up and down the canal. Only 2 things to be aware of, there is no screened in porch but the deck is very nice and large. The sleeper sofa is not at all suitable to pull out and sleep on, thankfully we had an air mattress and did some sleeping rearrangements. I would reccomend renting this property and the host Jay was easy to communicate with.

Perfect location!

We needed a quiet upscale place where we could relax, but get to the action quickly. This house was perfect for that! My husband, my sister, and myself truly enjoyed the layout of the house, the amazing pool, and even got a visit from the local manatee family! It was close to amazing restaurants and had the perfect kitchen for relaxing meals at home. Highly recommend!

Property is great for a group of friends or family to spend time together. Pool was fantastic and being able to keep the boat on the bulkhead made for easy boat days, having ample parking for a trailer was a great bonus as well. Would definitely come back.
