My trip was for spring training and photography of wildlife. The house was as described and had all the kitchen stuff needed for the couple of meals I made while there. There was a Publix and I believe a Winn-Dixie near by as well as a sports bar just around the corner that had large portions. Communication with the host was very quick and she answered all questions in a timely manor.

Perfect cozy little cottage

The property was beautiful and had everything we needed for a weeks stay. It was clean, comfortable and cozy. The private porch in the back was beautiful and a nice place to cool down after a day at the beach. We loved every minute of our stay! Highly recommend!
