can only agree that this is a superb spot-lovely house,enjoyed the pool and hot tub.Had some wonderful sightings particularly of a large dolphin who enjoyed splashing me with his/her tail.Also saw manatee with a baby and the otters.The latter was particularly thrilling as we had never seen one in the wild.Crystal Springs State park was a must as wanted to see bald eagle.Not in vain.Saw nest and adult pair,one in flight.Magnificent !Some greta photos going back to the Fylde Coast.

This is our 4th time in Florida but first time out of Orlando area.We came to relax but did loads! We absolutely recommend an airboat ride - fabulous fun.We hired a pontoon boat from River Safaris just up the road and saw dolphins and manatees in the river.All in all we had a super holiday here-pool and hot tub a hit with the kids especially.

We had a great week.Weather warm 68F and only rained one day.We found this a home from home and love the selection of DVDs and CDs.Saw lots of heron and fish every morning and an otter playing in the Creek.Pool and hot tub were fun and we will be back hopefully some time in the future.

What a great holiday.The house has been ideal.The hot tub took a while to master but it was worth the wait.The pool is great ,warm and we have swum so much we are going home lighter.A sad goodbye but who knows we may return
