Little Blue Tarpon house was BETTER than we expected! One of the most well equipped houses we have stayed in. All beds and furniture were very comfortable! The location was perfect for docks, restaurants and a show at the Stockyard. Communication was excellent and we will definitely book here again when in the area, highly recommend!!
