Property was exactly as it shows in pictures. Very nice, clean, confortable, and had everything we needed. I was pleasantly surprised how well equipped the kitchen was. We didn't have enough time but it is nice to include the kayaks, 3 beach chairs, grills and 1 bike. The location is very good if you plan trips by boat in Pine Island. Communication with the host was little challenging with some delays in responding but overall was a great stay.
