Our family truly enjoyed our little getaway. The house was beautiful, spacious and our kiddos loved the game room and hot tub since it was a little too cold for the pool. This property is walking distance from the Fulton pier and playground as well as many restaurants. The kids had fun riding their scooters to the park in the morning. We loved our stay!

Doris is an amazing host! The property was beautiful and right across the road from the bay. Everything we needed was there and Doris provided us with tons of information on places to eat and things to do in the area. We did not use the hot tub as we had lots of other things to do, although I could have easily seen myself sitting there with a glass of wine in the evening watching the Dolphins play in the bay. The grandkids loved the pool area, which was very nice, it did get a little busy late afternoon. They also really enjoyed the game room in the lower level. The location is great! A short walk or drive to shopping, dining and local beaches. We will definitely be booking with Doris on our next trip to the area.
