Wonderful property. Very clean and cute. Great location close to many things. We had fun catching several fish off the dock. Would definitely recommend and love to stay here again.
Wow - what a fabulous place. Hosts had it well stocked - we needed nothing. Location was perfect; close to restaurants, bait shop (we fished on the dock every day), supermarket - anything you could need. The bathroom showers were spa quality. Everything was just great. We will definitely stay at this place again. Thanks Steve and Rita.
Excellent communication from the hosts and everything was just as promised. We brought our boat and left it in the water during our stay at the dock behind the house, it was so convenient to be able to hop in the boat and go. Highly recommend this location, we will be back!
Property has a great view of the Cottee River with a sand lot and dock for your boat. Everything was just as expected and easy check in. Communication as needed was quick response and everything was clean. Great restaurants within minutes from property and easy access to the gulf. Dog friendly. Great vacation property.
Across from a restaurant that played music and bands. Great atmosphere. Location is great close to downtown and everywhere else. Owner was responsive to anything
Amazing location!
We kept our boat at the house and was able to take it to Anclote Island each day
Minutes from Main Street for entertainment and food.
Neighborhood quite and peaceful.
Definitely will be staying again.
The property is in a nice location, bands and music (tasteful and appropriate) from across the river were great. TONS of space for our needs. All updated. Would recommend staying there, and would stay again.
The property was very clean and and well stocked for our stay. The hosts were very responsive and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we would need. Enjoyed sitting on the deck in the mornings with coffee and watching the boats pass by. Very relaxing and much needed weekend getaway with the family😊
What a nice setting to sit out on the deck facing the Cottee River and watch the activity and boats go by. It was great to get away from the fast paced daily routine and enjoy life for the long weekend. Thanks for sharing the lovely home with us. We will be back in the future.
In town for a funeral so needed an easy relaxing stay and this property provided that. Requested help on a few items and property manager easily available and quick to respond. Daughter even left her library book behind and they promptly shipped it to us. Appreciate all the help. Thank you
We booked this property at the last minute due to an unforeseen family gathering. We spent little time at the house because our days were very busy and hectic. It was nice knowing we had a clean and relaxing place to decompress at the end of the day. Steve was kind enough to go out of his way to make our stay enjoyable.
I would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay at a clean and quiet house on the water in close proximity to some fun restaurants.

The owners told us we could not have the windows or doors open and as they lived right next door you felt as though they were always watching you. Can you imagine telling someone who's renting for a month not to open windows and doors!! Well I could tell you more but why?

Needs some help
I feel like it could use a deep cleaning and spraying for insects. The third night, there was a cockroach on the bed. The space under the beds and the windows
were not clean. The amenities are nice as far as new kitchen appliances and one updated bathroom. Gas firepit in yard ran out of gas on second night there. The back bathroom is functional and was clean but definitely could use some tile. Not much to do in the immediate vicinity. Could be a nice place if some TLC was put into it.
We stayed 2 nights and were very pleased with everything. This place is a true gem. And is even nicer after the renovations that were recently done. Great communication with property manager, super clean, fully stocked with everything you could possible need or want. I am sure we will be back. Just not sure when. Wish the weather had been a tad warmer, as it was too cold to sit out for long qaat night.
We really enjoyed our stay. The host was friendly and informative. The place is really cute. Being right on the water is so peaceful. There is a bar/restauranr across the water that often has live music that you can hear when you’re outside, but it wasn’t loud and rowdy - or all night. We actually enjoyed hearing it. Speaking of that restaurant, it has one of the best key lime pies we’ve ever tried - and yes, we’ve had Kermit’s in Key West :)
We didn’t see any dolphins in the water in the backyard but we took one of the hosts recommendations for a boat rental and rented a pontoon to take out for the day. We saw dolphins playing while we were cruising in the Gulf. It was so awesome!
The accommodations are nice and cozy. We stayed in one evening playing some games we brought.
Note, the master bedroom doesn’t have a plug on both sides of the bed - an extension cord run under the bed will fix the issue.
Also, the internet can be a little rough. I work from home and will often work on vacation. Thankfully that wasn’t the case this time because even my phone had trouble with the internet in parts of the house.
Small other thing to note is that there was no shampoo as the listing stated, so thankfully my mom brought some. But this often isn’t something provided by hosts so it isn’t a big deal, just mentioning it because I hadn’t brought my own.
My family and I would definitely stay here again. We had a great time!
We enjoyed our stay on the river. It was fairly quiet and peaceful, sitting on the patio, enjoying the river and music across from it. We even used the firepit one evening. The house was very clean and well stocked, except there were no wine glasses.....lol. It was very close to our daughter and family which is why we came down to visit. We would come back next time we visit.
Had a wonderful time with the entire experience. The rental unit was excellent and the host was great. I would definitely recommend and I hope to stay again sometime.
We enjoyed our stay in this clean, remodeled home. The kitchen and bathrooms had the latest appliances, cabinets and tile work. We watched tv on large screens and had HULU for football and movies. Excellent waterfront restaurants close by too.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home is beautiful, clean, nicely decorated, and the kitchen well stocked! The location is perfect, close to everything. There is also great fishing from the dock. Steve is a wonderful host, very responsive and accommodating! We highly recommend this property!
