We had a great stay! The house was extremely clean and up to date, easy check in process, excellent communication. Great location, would definitely recommend this rental!
House has everything you need for a home away from home. Host was very responsive. We loved fishing from our backyard and just relaxing on the lovely patio!
We throughly enjoyed our stay. It was a very nice, quiet neighborhood in a very convenient location. The house was clean, had lots of room and was comfortable. The patio was definitely a highlight as well. It was very easy to rent this home. It was as described and actually had more items for us to use than we anticipated so that was a great surprise. There were coolers, bags for the beach, toiletries, and lots of pots and pans. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay at this seaside getaway. The outside space was spot on and I loved being able to prepare dinner while watching the activity on the canal.

So happy that you liked staying at that Boat House Escape!
My husband and I looked for a place near family but on water and couldn’t have been more happy. House was lovely. The setting so relaxing. The neighbors were quite nice and the neighborhood so friendly. We didn’t use the private beach but heard it is such a great amenity. We instead visited with family nearby to celebrate the holidays. We couldn’t have asked for a better home away from home. And Heidi was so kind and helpful. It’s always best to be able to work with the owner directly. Heidi was wonderful.
We had a wonderful stay, house is Amazing! Beautifully remodeled. The home has everything needed for a home away from home. Great location. Heidi was wonderful to work with and accommodating, she even left a dog bed for us. Highly recommended.

Thanks for your review Danielle - our goal is always to make our travelers want to stay at the Boat House Escape again and we hope you do!
We are a family of five plus our puppy, and we all felt like home . The house is spacious and well equipped from furniture to supplies that are so much needed. The location was also a plus being on the canal it was easy for us to use a rental boat and enjoy the surroundings. There’s a few beautiful islands around. Also close to restaurants, grocery stores and shops. We really appreciated the hospitality of the owners and the Christmas tree and decorations that were all beautiful placed around the house for us. Quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay and we would highly recommend It. Thank you again!
