Very well appointed and perfect for a family or group of fishing buddies. We started out with three, then four and then back to three for our stay. This is the downstairs of a canal house and it was very nice. We had to communicate with the owner and they were very quick to accommodate. We will definitely stay here again for our annual fishing trip.

Great time!

We brought our son down for his 7th birthday. We had a great time. Property was just as pictured, clean, communication was great. He enjoyed fishing off the dock while we weren’t out and about checking out nature and wildlife. We will for sure be back.

Everglade trip

Place was very nice, zero complaints with the property or stay...The cleaning fee is absolutely ridiculous, this would probably make me look elsewhere for my next trip.Was unaware that it was a shared property till i spoke with the person on here. No indication on the posting
