This place was great for our fishing trip. It was clean, and located in a very quiet neighborhood. The private dock on the water with grills for cooking, and the fish cleaning station was also great. It would definitely be a great place for a quiet fishing trip with friends. Would definitely stay again. Curtis was amazing throughout the entire trip. From booking the room to checking on us throughout the stay. He was quick to respond to any questions we had.

Excellent Fishing & Accommodations

Cheryl’s property was cozy and perfect for a fishing getaway! She provided us with all the local information we needed. We fished for eight days and never got skunked! Sleeping in the back bedroom was awesome, because you could wake up and peek out the window at the dock and canal. We saw lots of wildlife and came home with lots of fish! Will do it again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much, Cheryl!

Just the right place

We spent two weeks here for a fishing trip and enjoyed our stay very much. Plenty of room to park my bass boat while hooked up. The house was clean and had everything we needed to feel at home. The neighborhood is quiet and less then ten minutes from town with any store or restaurant you could want. The canal has a tree across from the dock where you can watch all the pelicans roost and dive for fish. The owner was extremely nice and quick to respond to phone calls and emails. Looking forward to coming back next year.

The owner is very helpful with area activities. It had every convenient thing a person could need. Just add your own food fishing hiking, biking, boating with your own boat, airboat rides, just an hour away from beaches. Can fish or sit on a deck by the canal. Awesome place. Will be back.

Convenient location

Great location and great price. Conveniently located near our charter fishing (https://okeechobeebassfishing.com/). Definitely recommend this charter company. Cheryl, our host, was very friendly and gave us a tour of the place before we settled in and checked in on us as we were leaving - very welcoming and hospitable. Very much enjoyed our stay. Beautiful views out on the dock in the evenings. We watched the sunsets from there. Thanks again!

I'm sorry about the soap... usually I do leave several bars under the sink but most people have their own liquid soaps they prefer. I do thank you for letting me know and I will make sure there are some bars available if needed. I'm glad everything was good. Thank you for staying with us!
