Amazing Family Getaway

The pictures of the property are accurate and reliable. The house was cleaned and prepared earlier than the check in time and the owners were in constant communication. If you have a family with kids and you do not want to pack up a car load of items for a beach trip, this is the house for you. It was fully equipped with any and everything you could need for a family weekend to the beach. It had amazing sitting spaces inside and out and all of the grilling equipment was high quality and excellently maintained. All of the toys (kayaks, lillipad, crab traps, beach toys) were easy to access and put up at the end of your trip. The inside was extremely clean and well supplied as well, with tons of little things that made the house special. We will 100% be going back to this one.

Sweet Retreat

Our family and bonus kiddos had a last minute Spring Break getaway to this home and it was a perfect retreat. The pictures do not do it justice, although they are beautiful too. It’s a perfect cozy home, beyond equipped for anything all you could need. I am an avid renter on Vrbo and this was one of our best experiences to date in terms of hospitality. Thank you Rudis family for sharing your home with us.

Amazing Property & Owners!

As owners of two vacation rentals, we're consistently amazed by the exceptional quality of this place, always surpassing our expectations. We have a rather large family so we also rent the neighboring house, The Merry Yacht. Both properties comfortably accommodating 12 people and are incredibly pet-friendly — they even have a gate between the properties. Undoubtedly, the seamless combination of these two homes, their amenities, and the incredible green light fishing, provides an unbeatable vacation experience in the west end.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property for fun with the family during COVID. This past summer was amazing floating on the canal, sunset boat rides, cruising in the golf cart to the beach, and getting dinner at the Marina restaurants. All within minutes of this location. My kids & dogs even love this location better than our actual home! This location provides lots of fun activities! You won't be disappointed renting this beach house. You won't want to leave when it is over!
