About the host

Hosted by Laura

My husband and I have owned and operated this property for 5 years and have enjoyed hosting the many guests that have stayed at the house. We have lived in Florida for the past 30 years, raised our family and are now starting to enjoy the time that being older allows. We absolutely love the gulf coast and all it offers. One never gets tired of the amazing sunsets !

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is a quiet, family oriented and pet friendly place. The location can't be beat with waterways(canals) behind every house that take you directly to the Bay. The peacefulness that comes with each evening is something that everyone quickly gets used to.

What makes this property unique

The Canal house was fully renovated and updated with every amenity that one can imagine. It is meticulously cleaned and sanitized after every visit. The bathrooms and kitchen are fully stocked with just about everything needed for a stress free and relaxing stay. You can bring your boat, leave it at the dock and park your trailer in the very large driveway. There's a boat launch conveniently located a mile down the road.
