Graduation trip

This trip was amazing! The house, neighborhood, dock and kayak were all fantastic! Everyone in the community was friendly when I was out walking. The owner knew we wanted to fish and got new poles for us! My son even caught a small shark! We saw dolphins and manatees. On our kayak we saw an alligator and a manatee again, up close! It was magical!

Beautiful view of the channel in an unprepared house

Beautiful view of the water. Description of house doesn’t explain that it is facing the highway or train tracks and is at the main thoroughfare for boats heading to the river/ocean. So it is fairly noisy and busy during the day. The house is supposed to be set up for 10 people but the pull out couches are horribly uncomfortable, the sheets are old and musty, we were provided four roll of toilet paper for six people for a five day trip, not enough beach towels, no shampoo/conditioner in either bathroom, one shower drains poorly, a couple of dead cockroaches were found plus a live one in a shower, and we had to buy all the necessities ie oil, seasonings and tin foil because the house had none. When the channel isn’t busy, dolphins, manatees, fish and sharks can be seen swimming in the water. The management company was quick to answer any messages.
