Wonderful property! Everthing was perfect. Only one recommendation: We would have liked dimmer switches on the livingroom lights. But, all else was very nice, and we loved the property.It is pricey compared to other properties in the Waterways.

Terri! Thank you so much for the kind words and for choosing to stay with us! Happy to hear that you love our home and that everything met your expectations. 😊 We appreciate your feedback on the living room lighting. While we do currently provide two lamps and three bar lights for softer ambiance, but we will definitely look into dimmer switches. We'll definitely get those installed to enhance the space even more. We try to offer good value by including access to the private boat dock and lift—features that many nearby homes don’t provide. We also have a small game room that many of our guests enjoy during their stay. Thanks again for the helpful suggestions and for taking the time to share your experience. We'd love to host you again anytime!

We appreciated the communication from the owners, providing specific, clear instructions on how to get into their home as well as the check-out process.

Exceeded expectations

This was such a great place w a nice boat slip with such easy access to everything we wanted by waterway! Exceeded our expectations for proximity to all we wanted to go to during our stay! Only reason we have 4 stars for cleanliness was the dog hair from what I imagine was the dog before us- may have been shedding or something. Other than that it was very clean everywhere else. Lovely well stocked for the chef in the family . Would certainly stay here again!!
