We enjoyed the lanai looking out at the view with a cool breeze. That is my favorite part. I didn’t have a pool, but we really didn’t need a pool relative up the street and had a pool so the kids went there and we got our privacy.

Beautiful and well-appointed house!

This is a beautiful, very comfortable and well-appointed house. Has everything you might need for running a vacation household. We really enjoyed the screened porch and watching all the comings and goings of boats, jet skis and kayaks on the water. Also saw some dolphins. Owners very responsive and neighbors friendly! Great neighborhood for walking.

A Beautiful Respite

We were blessed to find this gem of home for easy access to Moffitt Cancer center and an abundance of gorgeous beaches to ride out the cold and snow of the north.The hosts were generous with the use of their beautiful, clean and cozy home. We watched sunrises almost every morning in the quiet of the screened porch and enjoyed tranquil afternoons sitting on the pier waiting for the occasional dolphin or manatee to swim by.We highly recommend this welcoming home by the sea.
