The house is beautiful, large and furniture was very comfortable. Mitch was very easy to communicate with. The house is beautifully decorated, and we had everything we needed, including lots of pots and towels. I will definitely stay at Mitch's place again.

A quiet escape.

This property is located in a quiet laid-back area. You were able to fish from the dock and enjoy the privacy. The house is huge and perfect for those who need easy access to all areas. The owner has wonderful communication. We will probably visit this place again and again.

our host was very responsive and nice. It was very nice of him to call and check on us. The house is nice, clean and spacious. We didn't catch very many fish, but had fun trying. If the house is available on our next visit we will stay again. A.A.

Beautiful home!

The home doesn’t look as big as the pictures when you pull up in the driveway but when you walk in it’s as if you stepped inside Mary Poppins purse! The house is spacious and nice. Mitch is very responsive and gets back ASAP. Would stay here again!

Fishing and Crabbing

The house was clean and roomy. Recent rains had resulted in tall grass, mosquitoes, and bugs inside. Both grills were out of service. The owner had promised a replacement within 24 hours of arrival but failed to show. The screens on the outside building were torn. We couldn't keep the mosquitoes out. The gazebo on the patio was broken and had ragged remains of a tarp hanging from it. Maintenance on the outside area would have improved the stay.

We had an awesome stay! The accessibility features were great for us and I would recommend them to anyone who needs wheelchair accessibility. The yard is huge and was perfect for our dogs! Our host Mitch communicated well and made sure we were well looked after! The fishing was great- was able to catch redfish, black drum, sheepshead, catfish, speckled trout and even an alligator gar right off the dock. The lights in the fishing area light up the river for great night fishing! There are a couple good restaurants close, we loved tiki pizza and the crab trap grill. We are looking forward to booking here again and would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a nice private place on the water.

We had a blast. The location is private and quiet. My grandson had the best time running around the open yard. The fishing was awesome the 1st 2 nights. We caught a 4 foot gar and at least a 3 lb blue cat.

About the host

Hosted by Mitch McKenzie

Host profile image
We are excited to share this wonderful property where you never know what will, swim, fly or roam by! The local bird population stops by on the regular for the feeders. We see Cardinals, Wood Peckers, Humming Birds, Bald Eagles, Turkey Buzzards, Cow Birds, and Texas Cranes to name just a few. It is so easy to lose track of time here sitting on the Deck or Pier.

Why they chose this property

We included ramps and large Shower and Vanity areas for those using Wheel Chairs and walkers. Powered Recliners in the Asian Room and Living Room.

What makes this property unique

Walk out the back door and fish from the Honeyhole. Smoke a Brisket in our smoker or just relax by the fire pit with family and friends.
