Cathleen 5/5 Stars "The home is beautiful, the pool watm and inviting. Given the time of year, we opted to pay an extra fee to heat the pool and would recommend it if traveling with small children or elderly. The home offers LOTS of extras with bikes, board games, beach chairs and mats, a cooler on wheels and TONS of beach and pool towels. We were very happy with the stay and would stay again!"

We take an annual trip to the keys with our best friends and this was the best house we have ever stayed at with the kids. It was a quiet neighborhood with a large dock and beautiful backyard including a pool. The house had everything you would need and more, including snorkel gear and pool/ocean floats. We hope to be back soon!

December in Paradise
We came down and spent the week right before Christmas! The house and property are just as stunning as the pictures show! The backyard is beautiful and private. Plenty of room for the 8 of us. It’s super convenient to the Publix which worked out when we needed anything. Our favorite feature was the light at the bottom of the canal in the backyard. Super cool! Also this house is equipped with plenty of fishing equipment, kayaks, tubes, games etc. The only negative was that there was no ice. The listing says they have a commercial ice maker, which they do, it just doesn’t work. And the indoor fridges also wouldn’t make ice or put out any water, so we had to keep buying bags of ice and bottled water.

Great spot for a fishing week
Amazing location with a good dock. Low tide gets quite low and should be careful of oysters on the dock posts. Commercial ice maker is very very convenient to top off the boat.

Great home, a few surpises
lovely home well equipped. the few surprises were the distanced required to travel by boat to get to gulf or ocean was excessively long.
also, with house, the house layout is not described well. the two bedrooms at the lower part of the house are not connected to the upper part of house with inside stair access.
Those sleeping downstairs had to go outside and climb stairs leading to the screened in deck on second level to gain access to kitchen and rest of house.

Hands down absolute best house
No need to look anywhere else. This house has it all, kayaks, bikes, a beautiful pool, dock for fishing, stuff for the beach, all the cooking utensils you need and most of all the house can accommodate a good sized family and friends. We loved our stay here. We have no complaints at all. Very clean and organized. If I had anything maybe some more blankets in the house. Also the VRBO listing states 4 bathrooms. There are only actually 3. That needs to be changed. But again this place is amazing and you don’t want to miss out on renting this house.
