The house was beautifully decorated and spacious. The views were amazing no matter where you were in the house and the ride to the beach was quick. The bath houses and showers were very convenient. Just an incredible area.

Beautiful view, comfortable place to stay; fish cleaning table and dock a real plus. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
This is a great house! Very Roomy, the best stocked kitchen we have every seen and the best of both worlds being on the canal close to the sound to fish and boat and 5 miles from the ramp to drive onto the beach. We loved our stay and will return soon.

We had a great time. The first week in November is a beautiful time to visit. Very nice house and we loved the hot tub! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
My family gathers to honor the loss of my son. This year we chose to stay at spy dog. My family declared this the best yet. Weber been doing this for 24 yrs and for the first time we are considering the same location as long as the week is available. Amazing house, views and surrounded by amazing people. Fell in love with sensations beads!

Spy Dog - WOW!
Great location! For an off season home this is the best! Easy access to sound for kayaking. The views are beautiful! The interior is upscale comfort! Separate bathrooms for each bedroom is perfect! Hot tub was as an added pleasure and the views were wonderful!

Beautiful home with great location. Hidden gem. Almost afraid to write review for fear of home booking faster in the future. We owe the owners and the cleaning staff kudos for home preparation. Very clean and well appointed. Classic but modern. Close to amenities but remote enough to enjoy the areas quiet and natural setting. Absolutely favorite home to sat on Hatters. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy.

Best House Ever!
Very spacious with beautiful views! Easy access for kayaks into canal! Loved the dock with the sink and hose! Elevator great for unloading but mostly used the stairs! Great location to Frisco beach. Lots of neighborhood streets for biking and running too! Wonderful sunrise and sunsets views. We will be back!!

Spacious enough to accommodate a larger family with private rooms and baths while still providing areas to congregate comfortably. Kitchen is large enough for food prep allowing numerous folks to work at the same time. Pool and hot tub are great and outside shower and bathroom poolside are very handy.

The house is beautiful but could use a good deep cleaning. The hvac vents/returns all show dust and black mold.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Oct 2024
Hi Lujauna, thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you found the house beautiful, but I apologize for the concerns you raised. Our local operations manager has confirmed that while the vents showed dirt and grime, there is no black mold, and all vents have been cleaned. The home is also scheduled for a deep cleaning in November. We appreciate your input!
