Very nice house, great amenities. Loved the gated patio so my fur baby could roam without a leash. I wish the house was closer to the marina. Overall would recommend this place to my friends.

Thank you for the kind words. The WiFi box is located in the bait shop. Unfortunately it goes out in the country sometimes. The best spots for WIFI are outside on the patio, at the game table, and out the dining room table. We look forward to hosting you again.
