Great location to restaurants and laid back FL lifestyle. Our family enjoyed the stay very much. The host was very responsive and helpful. The property was clean and very comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again !
Location was perfect, space felt open and inviting, we were able to tie up right at dock, and fishing was on. Instructions for check in and out were clear and Bryan responded quickly to questions asked.
It was a lovely place. I enjoyed my stay there. The one drawback was there is not a washer and dryer even though the listing said there was

Thank you for your kind words. The washer and dryer are located in the garage/Carport shed. Sorry for the confusion. I will post pictures of where it is located so other guests can find it.
We had a wonderful time. The house met all our needs and more. The owner was very helpful with all of our questions. Im looking forward to staying there again. The location on the water was perfect. one of the best airbb ive stayed in. Thank you
This is a nice house on a quiet street. It is very clean and freshly updated. Plenty of towels and hot water with good pressure. The kitchen is adequately equipped. The boat dock is sturdy and fairly new. It is nice to have a car port. The washer / dryer is located in the out shed and they appear new. There are fans in every room and the AC works great.
