Overall the house was a great place to stay spot on the canal for fishing and the pool was a great thing to have to cool off. Super close to a drive on beach so it made it easy to drive to and enjoy and not have to unpack everything there.

Our host was amazing! I received timely responses during the reservation period and through the stay. Unfortunately, there was an unforeseen issue with the pool and a storm that came through which caused some problems. The host was so helpful and communicated with me very well as we got things sorted out.The house was beautiful and the location would be extremely hard to beat. Quiet neighborhood, close to quiet beaches, food and other amenities. Can say enough about how happy we were to stay here.
