My husband and I had a wonderful stay in this lovely home. It was well equipped, very clean, and extremely comfortable. Most importantly, the owner, Kenny, could not have been more responsive or pleasant to work with. The outdoor space was lovely and we were welcomed on our first day by a dolphin in the canal…a real treat. It is a bit of a drive to the nicer big, sandy beaches but we did enjoy Robert K Rees Memorial Park’s small beach. Highly recommend Whiskey Joe’s for dinner and Early Bird for breakfast.

This was exactly what we were looking for. We’ve stayed in other cities in a house on a canal and have loved that addition to the house. The heated pool was a must too. We had 2 teens that enjoyed evening swims every night and mid -day floats for relaxing were great. Of course cleanliness was must as well and this place was clean and did not look worn, Rey bright and fresh. The pictures are accurate. This place checked all the boxes. Linda and Ken were great hosts, responding quickly and keeping us informed on things. The check-in and out were easy. I would stay again if we went back to the area and would recommend this is you are looking for a nice place to stay. Beds were comfy and that is always a plus.

We were amazed with the cleanliness of this property, and the convenience of all the extra amenities was a very nice surprise! The hosts were wonderful and made us feel so welcome in this beautiful home that also had a fantastic layout. They did a great job on the renovation! We enjoyed the clean pool that felt amazing everyday, the view of the sunrise/set over the canal, fishing from the dock, the comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen with everything we needed and more. Local stores and restaurants were great, and access to so many nearby parks was a treat. Would love to visit the property again!
