We had 6 of us in three different rooms. We love this place and have been coming here for several years. Great place for a combination weekend getaway/birthday/fishing trip.

Was looking for a relaxing week away from all the tourists. Found a perfect location here! Property has a nice pool and is just across the street from a nice beach. Unit was clean and as advertised. Communication with the owners/management company was quick, courteous and responsive. Would definitely consider a return trip!

Thank you so much for the review and feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and we will talk to the owner about the curtains. Hope we see you again next year!
Excellent view of the marsh land and tidal water. Dark sky’s for good start watching. Walking distance to great fresh seafood restaurants and dock that boats launch from. This is old Florida at its best. No chain retails or restaurants on island. All local owned with their own original vibe. We would rent this unit again.
