What a wonderful home! Michael took great care of us and was very communicative. The outdoor amenities made this spot special; after a great day scalloping we grilled by the creek, we enjoyed the afternoon on the screened in front porch, then we grilled in the backyard by the canal. Watching shooting stars from the bedroom balcony was a peaceful ending to a great stay. Thank you!

Great house for my family of 6. My wife and I gave our 4 kids the master and we took the smaller bed. Plenty of scallops this year. Loads of fun. We have a 17’ boat and had no issues at all getting in or out of the canal, even at low tide. The house was clean everything worked great.

6/10 Okay

Very disappointed in the fact that the dock was not accessible for my sized boat. Should be told as part of decryption. Also, I took a 100 ft cord that could not reach the outlets and was told that has never been an issue. Should tell people with a medium sized boat to bring 200 feet. Unable to use the outdoor facilities because of mosquitoes, this is not their fault, however should be described as a concern to customers for health issue and or preparedness. Many of the spices were old a hard. I would gladly upgrade this review with another visit at a reduced price.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Aug 2026
We are sorry this guest was disappointed, but we would like to clarify several points for future guests. Our listing clearly states that the home is located on a Gulf-access tidal canal and that dockage is most suitable for boats 22 ft. or less, while noting that many previous guests have successfully docked boats up to 26 ft. The description also advises guests with concerns about their particular boat to contact us prior to booking and explains that dockage cannot be guaranteed during unusually low tides or storm-related conditions. To our knowledge, this guest did not attempt to dock his boat during his stay. Regarding electrical access, we have hosted many guests with boats without this previously being an issue. Because boat size, trailer location and individual equipment needs vary, guests bringing boats who have specific electrical requirements are always welcome to contact us before arrival. The distance for electrical cords are less than 50 ft to dock and to trailer parking. Mosquitoes can unfortunately be present in coastal Florida, particularly during certain weather conditions. This is a natural part of the area and can vary considerably from day to day. The spices mentioned are complimentary items provided as an additional convenience and are not an advertised amenity. They are checked between guest stays and were in good condition prior to this stay. We take guest feedback seriously and work hard to accurately represent our property. After approximately eight years of hosting and more than 200 guest reviews with an overall rating of approximately 4.99 stars across our vacation-rental platforms, we believe our long history of guest experiences provides the best representation of the property. Finally, we will respectfully decline the guest's suggestion that he would “upgrade” this review in exchange for another visit at a reduced price. We believe reviews should reflect a guest's experience independently of discounts or other financial considerations.

We stayed for three nights and had the best time. The property is bigger than I thought it would be, very clean and a very quiet neighborhood. We did a little fishing in the canal and really enjoyed the outside space. We also enjoyed sitting on the front porch. Who can resist a porch swing?? The house was very clean, very well stocked and smelled really good. The master room is very roomy and comfortable. The balcony outside of the master bedroom has a beautiful honeysuckle vine that smells so good. It makes seeing the canal from the balcony difficult, but the downstairs area under the balcony is roomy, with plenty of outside furniture to sit on and perfect view of the canal. It is also very well shaded. We have no complaints at all. It definitely deserves the 5 stars and we will definitely keep this place in mind to stay again when we visit again. Thank you so much for a really nice getaway!
