This property is beautiful. Great amenities with a gorgeous view of the intercoastal waterway. Can't say enough positive things about the house and property. However, the management company OIA leaves little to be desired. The backyard was loaded with dog poop and a hose issue out on the dock. OIA answered our texts immediately and nobody from OIA ever showed up to help.

OKI

The rental was perfect for our week vacation. Spent lots of time out on the deck looking at the Intercoastal waterway. The fenced yard was awesome for our dog. The house had everything we needed.
