Had an awesome stay at the Fish Bowl. Beautiful home with beautiful views of the Gulf and the wildlife. It was nice relaxing by the water seeing the way of life down here by the Intercoastal. It was the perfect home to take my elderly parents and relax by the water. Super clean house with all functioning appliances and comfortable furniture just like in the pictures, and host quickly replied back the times we messaged her for anything. Had a great experience and recommend for anyone wanting to get away and relax a few days by the water.

The house is amazing. The decor is very nice, and the bedrooms are inviting. We actually go to slow down and relax. Sitting on the porch, listening to the waves and feeling the cool breeze in the evening made this trip totally worth it. We love it here. A special thanks to our hosts for providing us with a perfect getaway.

Property is very well kept and maintained. Nice,clean and beautiful. Entered the home and felt like we were at home. Very well kept,cleaned. Kitchen has everything you could possibly think you'd need. Bedrooms were all very nice and cozy. Living room was spacious. The dock with the lights on at night offered a variety of fish to catch. Popping corks and lures turned out to be very popular. We also managed to get a good batch of blue crap to take home!! We will be back again!! Loved it!!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. House was clean and they had plenty of board games to use. Weather wasn't too hot and we were able to eat out on the back patio without being carried away by mosquitoes. Fishing dock was great and lights were easy to turn on. Kids loved seeing the passing boats and even got a couple to honk for them!! Would bring my family back here anytime.

This is an Exhalent property. The host is very responsive if you need them. If you're a fisherman this property is positioned to give you quick access to inshore or offshore applications. I have every intention of utilizing this property when I fish the Sargent area in the future. No question about it.
