We were here during the rains from the hurricane but were delighted and had a marvelous time. We love the glassed-in porch! The house was wonderfully clean and decorated, we really enjoyed our weekend.
I was fearful this property would be too small, but it’s actually larger in person!! Super clean and there is just no beating that backyard! Right on a canal, With band music from a nearby watering hole plays throughout the day, but not terribly late. We loved everything about this place!

A Nice Home Away from Home
The house was very clean with modern appliances and I loved the automatic lock feature on the front door! The screened in porch adds a great touch to the property. I found everything I needed in the kitchen for meals! The house is at the end of a long shaded road which was great to walk in the mornings.My onsite contact was wonderful to work with and resolved or answered all of my questions/issues.
The owner was incredibly nice and accommodating. The home is beautiful and we'll maintained. Access to the lake was perfect. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful sweet place to stay. It was very comfortable. It was bright inside with attention to detail. We loved the peaceful feeling here. My husband even caught a few fish off the dock. The bed was very comfortable. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
