We absolutely loved this house. Perfect location, perfect setup, and very nicely and newly remodeled. A lot of attention to detail, the little things that matter. We will definitely be back!
We can’t say enough great things about this wonderful house! We’ve been visiting Florida for the past 5 years as a family in different areas. This year, we decided to bring our dog along for the ride. After further research, we realized how hard it is to find a place in Florida that allows our golden retriever. It was such a blessing in disguise - we would’ve never found this hidden gem of an island, or this cozy home, had it not been our desire to accommodate our pup this year! Upon arrival, everything was so prestige - all beds clean, multiple towels available, all kitchen/toiletry essentials, and most importantly, the online pictures of the area a true depiction of the residence. I figured the online image of the beach view from the family room was edited - but it’s actually better in person!!! This is the first time we’ve stayed at a house in Florida, vs a condo, and it was absolutely perfect for our family. Not only the hospitable accommodations, but every person we met on the beach or in local stores were incredibly kind! We felt like we were home. Our entire family would absolutely recommend this residence to any friends and family and also plan on booking again in the future:) appreciate everything provided by the host and thankful for such a great family trip!
