About the host
Hosted by Tim Bush
We have a huge family and love our family beach vacations. We are so happy to be able to provide a beach house for you to make your own vacation memories.
Why they chose this property
Surrounded by a green canopy of trees, it's hard to believe our house is just steps from the sand and water. Unlike other homes closer to the beach, our house has a user friendly fenced in yard instead of just sand and concrete. :)
What makes this property unique
Affordable, fenced in back yard, close to a beach access and an easy walk to the public fishing dock on the Davis Canal. Two living areas for large families to spread out.
