Overall we enjoyed our stay. For some reason we were under the impression that we could swim or cool off in the water. Not the case. Not sure where the fault lies but it is/was not an option. The rest of the rental was as described.

Place was nice. Fishing wasn’t the greatest at all but not the hosts fault. Lots of Lilly pads and even a baby alligator stalking right in the front. Place was clean and had basics of what was needed. Didn’t realize was a house in a subdivision so definitely have neighbors right next door. Cleaning crew should put trash bags in bathroom trash cans. But again not the fault of the host. Pet friendly nice but also know since in a subdivision neighbors have dogs that run loose.

Relaxing time on the dock.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable and I loved the large kitchen. We spent a lot of our time on the dock fishing and watching an alligator.

Home away from home

If you're looking for a break from everyday life this is the place. It's a cozy home on the water. Great for fishing, enjoying the water, stars and relaxing. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need for cooking. The bathrooms and bedrooms are stocked with extra towels and blankets. We would definitely stay here again.

Very Nice!

This was our 2nd stay at Cast Away Cottage, and it did not disappoint. The home was very clean,spacious and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the pier with the enclosed gazebo for early morning coffee and alligator watching. Some in the groupenjoyed fishing from the pier. The children enjoyed the swings outside while the adults were able to watch the SEC baseball tournament on the big TV. A very pleasant stay
