Really enjoyed the seclusion of this house - It's in a growing neighborhood but you wouldn't notice! The dock and patio are awesome. This house allows for everyone to have enough space. This was our home base for our elopement, as approved by owner, and we had a fantastic time!

I take my adult kids and my grandkids somewhere every year for spring. The dock house was not cleaned and a few minor things in the house need to be repaired. But overall, the house is beautiful and we all had a wonderful time. I would recommend it for sure! We have another year of wonderful memories

Great stay

Absolute great place. Only disappointment was according to the pictures there was a blackstone griddle which we planned our meals as having one. A small negative for an incredible place and location

The host was very communicative and responsive. The house was very secluded, surrounded by nature, and although very big- it was cozy. The house allow everyone in the family to find something to do- fishing on the dock, reading or playing games on the terrace, watching TV in the dock house, or enjoying a fire by the fire pit- there is something for everyone. The open kitchen allows for everyone to gather and assist to then share meals on the massive dining room table. A true gem!

Peaceful, secluded and spacious

My entire family had a wonderful stay. The oven was our only issue- it worked but was challenging; the host said the part has been ordered to repair that problem. The host was very responsive to all my questions/needs. Entire property extremely clean. Would absolutely stay here again!

True hidden gem

Who would have thought we were still in Florida?! We had an amazing stay in this beautiful gem of a house. Perfectly secluded and allowed us to end the year on a high note without the busyness of city life. The property owner was great! He responded fast to any questions and provided a great bit on information for things to do nearby. Hanging on the doc and relaxing was an added bonus! Definitely hope to come back again!

Destination Wedding

We could not have been happier with our stay. The cabin is so charming and comfortable with all the conveniences. This was a family get together to prepare for our daughters wedding. We had all the day of wedding things scheduled at the home. Hair and makeup, photography and videography. Being right on the water was just what we needed to relax and enjoy the nature that surrounds this home. We are definitely hoping to stay here again.

Nice place

We had two families on this trip. The house was nice, the gas stove was difficult to operate. The WIFI was VERY slow, But I heard they are getting a new service in the future. The dock was nice with a nice outdoor area, but we found it not good for launching a canoe or kayak.

I called the call center because I couldn’t get in contact with the host. The A/C upstairs went out and was told someone would contact me within the next hour, no call or text. I got an email with a number and name and reached out, he had someone at the house within 2 hours. The other thing was, I reserved for 10 people and was given just 8 towels. Not enough for all of us. Also, I had to replenish the paper goods. So other than that , the house was plenty big enough for us.
