Great Waterfront Views

The property is located in a quaint fishing and boating village. The patio and enclosed back room offered fantastic views of the back bay. We had no issues at all during our stay. Would Highly Recommend!!
My dad 91 years old and on his last offshore fishing adventure. He loved where we stayed.

This is a great place to stay. The 2 porches, one enclosed and one screened, right on the canal were my favorite spots. The house is clean and very well appointed. I lived on this island for 10 years and know the struggles from weather(hurricanes), trying to keep places together and repaired. This owner has done an excellent job. Would always consider staying here again on our future trips to see old friends.
