We loved our stay! The house and backyard/waterfront space is lovely and exactly what we wanted for our family of 5. We were able to kayak to see the manatees as a family rather than having to book a tour, which allowed us to do it on our own time and without feeling too crowded. At the house, we saw alligators floating by, tons of turtles and birds, and loved meals out on the dock. Josh was super helpful and responsive leading up to the stay and during. He made sure we had everything we needed and answered multiple planning/logistics questions about how to best see the manatees. We'd love to go back!

Beautifully rehabbed home. Very clean. Very comfortable master bed. Kitchen fully outfitted with clean utensils and pans. Ping pong a fun plus! Kayaks right outside the back door. Best of all - Josh was always available and most accommodating - recommended some good restaurants and was most kind helping us navigate the TV. Great choice for a family.

Such a perfect house for our group. Spacious, very clean, had everything one could need. The host was super responsive, and left a beautiful welcome basket. Lots of games for the kiddos and adults. Easy to dock our boat. I would recommend this place over and over.
