Escape from the cold

This is a lovely house with great common space for watching TV or playing board games. The pool area provides lots of area for lounging while watching the kids in the pool. The pool was comfortably heated which allowed for enjoying swimming even when it wasn’t particularly warm outside. The house was also nicely supplied with essential paper goods for our time there, which was very convenient.

Christmas Vacation

Had a wonderful stay with family of 12 (grandparents, kids, grandkids). Pool area is perfect and pool is heated well enough to swim in even in the cooler than normal weather. Kitchen has everything we needed and beds were very comfortable. Finshing was suprisingly great from the dock, caught everything from catfish to crab, even a stingray. Manatee viewing center is a must-see nearby attraction. Great communication from the hosts. Highly recommended.

Thanksgiving Family Trip

We had a wonderful stay! The house was exactly as advertised. We had everything we needed for the week. The best part was the outdoor space! The kids loved the pool and fishing off the dock. There was a lot of seating on the lanai. We spent a lot of our time outside relaxing and enjoying the beautiful Florida sunshine. Owner was super responsive anytime we had a question.

Lovely canal home

Property looks exactly like the photos. Clean and well stocked. The pool area is fantastic and we had a blast with the kayaks. Manatees came right up to us. Owners were very nice and prompt with all responses. The only thing I would say is it is a bit tight for 8 adults as the one bedroom is pretty small. Overall a great place and I would definitely recommend.
