We enjoyed our stay immensely. The home was very clean and right on a canal. Not only was my husband able to fish right off the dock but dolphins and a manatee visited regularly - swimming right under the dock while he sat there. It was an amazing experience

This house is so cute! The pictures are very accurate. We had plenty of room. The kitchen was well stocked, easy to use. The owners just made MAJOR improvements on the dock just before our arrival and we were the first to use it. We brought our 21 ft skiff in and out with zero problems. The fishing was great, the launch is just on the next canal and the distance to the channel to go everywhere was very short. The neighborhood is very quiet and you could get to a major grocery store in about 10 minutes. There are several good bar and grills close by. Marfrid was exceptionally quick in returning any messages I sent. Thank you for that! We had a wonderful time and plan on returning.
Woohoo pompano!
