We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home is exactly what the pictures show. It was clean, has comfortable beds, nicely updated bathrooms and had everything we needed. Docking space was plenty for a 24ft tritoon. Loved having easy access to the boat. Kris responded quickly to questions. The neighbors were also very friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to have you back soon!
Really enjoyed our stay great area for boating, fishing, eating, and shopping. Canel provides excellent protection for your boat and has easy access to Burt Lake, Mullet Lake and beyond. Interior house cleaning was excellent. Dwelling could use a little handyman help in inside (light above vanity missing, toilet seats lose (we tightened), etc. Outside needs some cleaning but is very nice.
Very cute place on the canal. Everything was clean, beds were comfortable, and they even had some laudry detergent. Location was excellent. It was close to town and Indian River Marina.
Stayed for a fishing tournament. Great location, boat and truck fit perfectly in the driveway. Kids enjoyed the house and outdoor area. Neighbors were very nice. Would absolutely stay again.

Thank you! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and would love to have you return for another stay!
The property was clean. Adequate bedding/towels. Nice neighborhood. We loved having a place for our pontoon. The yard/landscaping could use some work. Unfortunately it was in the 90’s during our visit and the house has no AC.
We enjoyed our stay loved the porch and watching boats go by on river which was 4 houses down . Comfy furniture and bed . The inside was very clean also liked cable tv . Also pet friendly very important!

Our only complaint is that the landscaping in the front of the house could be done. Just weeds throughout the front of the house. It would be better for the neighborhood look as well. Other than that, great location and house.
We had a great stay, convenient location on a canal between Mullet Lake and, Burt Lake, literally seconds to Indian River. The home was very clean and had everything we needed. We were able to take our dog (wonderful to find such a nice pet friendly place). Kris was a pleasant to work with.

Great stay and location, with easy access to Burt or Mullet Lakes. We brought 99% of our own items: food, detergent, pillows, plates, garbage bags etc. Wish there would have been better cooking utensils, pots and pans and a vacuum.
