This homes location makes for a beautiful quiet escape. The bed was super comfortable. Kitchen had all the items one needs to make a meal and clean up the dishes. The owners had great communication with us the entire stay! We will definitely be going back, but need to do it during the height of manatees timeframe.

The pictures do not give enough credit to this property! 10/10 stay. The back deck has a beautiful view of the bay area and is a great place for bird-watching or having a glass of wine. A really quiet and comfortable place to stay. Our hosts were very communicative and helpful. We will definitely be back and stay here in the future.

Our hosts were so kind and thoughtful! The weather was particularly cold when we arrived, and they had electric heaters and extra blankets for us at the house, which were very welcome. The views from the house were lovely, I could have spent the entire day looking over the tidal marshes--I did some watercolor sketches from the back deck. The house decor and appointments were very well-chosen and pleasant, it had a well-stocked kitchen with all the comforts of home. We hope to return another year, we just loved this house!
