Great spot

Great location and kept up household. Close to beaches and family fun spots. Only suggestion we have is to consider adding a gate for dock (we have young children).

It was a great property. Quiet but close to the town and the beaches. Loved being right on a canal and enjoyed sitting down on the dock and watching the ducks. All in all, would definitely reccomend this location and consider going back again.

Perfect place and location

I cannot say enough about this house! It was perfect for our family and I loved that it is dog-friendly. The canal and dock were hits for our 5 year old who loves fishing. The house had everything we needed, so clean and cozy. We will definitely be back!

Clean and cozy home

Nice place and very cleaned. The price for the night is reasonable but the extra fees are exaggerated , we paid more than half of the total for the 3 nights in extra service fee. The check out is also very early but I asked for an extra hour and the host in charged allowed us to do that. Thank you again for that.

Canal Home

The master closet is nice and big to fit a pack and play in there, they had lots of comfy blankets and pillows which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the beds were not our taste, they were very firm and uncomfortable (bring a mattress topper if you can). The view is beautiful and we enjoyed roasting s'mores by the fire, only a quick drive to the jetty for the sunset! This was really nice for us because we have a bigger family and I do believe its more bang for your buck. I would bring your own cutting board because the one there is plastic and pretty worn. Do not leave any food out! Big raccons roam around at night, we had a big one out on the front porch and he was enjoying our chocolate and hamburger buns. Overrall we had a great stay with a few very minor things that could be easily improved.

Best place ever

House is nicely situated on bank of canal river, short drive to beach. Loved having coffee on porch in morning watching water flow by. Everything is new and shiny inside with comfy beds, electric fireplace and well appointed kitchen. Clean and well appointed, coffee pods, bath products and nice linens . Will stay again.
