Two nice beaches close and several nice restaurants with reasonable menu. We chartered a tour boat and there were boats available for snorkeling with manatees. Small shops for those interested in shopping. Weeki Wachee also close for children.

Do not hesitate to stay at this house. Everything was perfect: The location, the cleanliness the relaxed "feel" of the decor. (Not too spare, and yet not too fussy.) The king bed was soft yet supportive. The lights were dimmable, the appliances new, and the kitchen equipped for small meals. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. (The location of the house placed me perfectly between the beach in one direction and the golf course in the other. What could be better?)

Host was welcoming. Canal view was great. Quite most of the time although a lot of construction noise due to rebuilding from hurricane damage. Minor TV issues but host worked throughout the issue.
