Christmas Stay

We really enjoyed this rental. The house was newly renovated and the location couldn't be better. We would rent again if the house were available.

Best time ever

This is a beautiful home. The finishes, accommodations and amenities are of high quality. This is the nicest home we have ever rented in the 15 years of renting. The golf course across the street was an added bonus and the manatees in the backyard were cool to see. The cabana club, which was included was a lot of fun. The owner checked in with us to see if we had any issues or questions, and she was just a text away if we needed her. I would highly recommend this home and the owner. She couldn’t have made our stay any better.

The house was amazingly open airy and clean. Kitchen was well supplied. Nice the host does not allow left overs from other folks - only things she stocks. Back yard and boat slip were fabulous additions, including the daily visiting manatees. Beach club was walkable and very nice. Beach access along with a pool and full service. Beds were comfortable, plenty of towels and linens, bathrooms very nice and very clean on arrival. TVs in all rooms plenty of channels to satisfy all the family. Stefanie was extremely responsive and was able to give recommendations and suggestions when needed. House had plenty of instructions for all the things you would need. Kayaks and PFDs that you could put right in the slip were a great add. PLENTY of beach towels. Check out instructions were easy and not a burden.
