Location was phenomenal. The property owner was very communicative and checked in with us beginning, during, and end of our stay. There were bicycles and kayaks and beautiful dock to enjoy as the home was on the inlet waterway! We chartered a private fishing trip and the property owner did not mind the captain picking us up at his dock. Throughout our trip, the property owner was very accommodating to our needs. 100% recommend this VRBO.

This beach house is exactly what we needed for our weekend trip. It was clean, well-maintained, and in a great location. The house is a short walk to the beach, and the canal view is so relaxing. Enjoyed having our morning coffee on deck very quiet area! The host, Mr. Martin, was so accommodating and friendly. We could not have asked for a better experience! We will most definitely stay here again.
