Stayed at the house this summer, and it was an excellent experience. The backyard, which as you can tell from the pictures, slopes right down into the canal. It was so peaceful and relaxing, I was just plain sad to leave. The owner Maria was wonderful as well, and she has kayaks for your use to go out into the water with. The separate apartment above the garage is an awesome touch that is rarely found too (and was especially good for my wife and I when we wanted to invite our friends with babies out to stay with us. 6am wake-ups are for them, not the rest of us...hence, the guest apartment, which has its own kitchen and dining area, so it is totally self-sufficient!). The main house is great too, with three bedrooms (one on the first floor, which was nice for our elderly parents to be able to stay when they came out). The kitchen had a country-home feel, and the house was well stocked for the nights that we cooked and stayed in. As you can see from the pictures, the house doesn't have the most modern/updated interior if that's what you're looking for, but we loved the charm of the house. Overall, we had an excellent experience and would definitely rent here again.
