The best holiday you could ever ask for....

We had the most wonderful time here, my kids had the most amazing time, jumping off the pontoon, taking out the kayaks, June was the most amazing host, gifting some fish so we could smoke it, we really appreciated everything June showed us, we're hoping we'll be able to visit again next year, thank you so much 💓

Awesome getaway

We had a great time relaxing here and discovering the area. June made sure we felt welcome and let us know anything we needed about the property. Make sure you check out the bioluminescent plankton at night. Thanks so much :)
