A little piece of Rainer over the canal.

This was a beautiful property. Spacious and comfortable with lots of activities. There was always something to do. It was also very relaxing. Watching the marine life was one of my favorite parts. I hope to stay there again.

Family Waterfront Luxury !!

The online pictures do not do justice for the reality of the home. From the inviting entrance to the panoramic views from inside and the relaxing balcony seating PLUS the water activities! Our family enjoyed the weekend getaway - there was something fun to do for all ages! The comfort of home but the luxury of a hotel resort. We will definitely be back and have already referred family and friends.
