We had 26 people stay at the property for a family reunion. Every one was comfortable. There was plenty of space and many enjoyable things to do. The property was so peaceful and every one enjoyed their time. The rooms were clean and well stocked. We mainly used the main kitchen but there were 7 so in one got crowded we could expand into another.

Beautiful location, didn't realize it was a shared residence. Bare bones dishes, spices, supplies etc. Couch was not nice, furniture in general was not nice. They did have paddle boards and we saw dolphins! They have fishing poles and broken boogie boards and sand toys. Not far from some great beaches.

The apartment was cozy and just the right size. The view onto the Intercoastal Waterway from the deck was great. One morning I saw a dolphin swimming just off shore. Amenities were adequate for basic cooking. Some shortcomings. The drapes didn’t quite cover the windows/sliding doors. The second bedroom is very small.

Thank you for staying with us and thank you for your honesty! I will replace the curtains so they cover the sliders. My apologies for the inconvenience. The second bedroom is small - with a great view of the river.

Beautiful location

Our stay wasn’t long enough to truly enjoy this amazing location. The yard was and directly into the river and is a perfect view. But plenty of privacy where you feel that you are in your own world. Would highly recommend.

All views extend to the spacious Florida bay views. Diections to local sites and the grocery store allowed for a drive to the peninsula. Quaint, comfortable and quiet space for us.

Mansion was great! There were 27 of us staying and it never felt crowded. Whiffle ball out back, fishing on the dock, football games on TV in one of the downstairs family rooms, 1000-piece puzzle being worked on at one of the dining room tables, meals being prepared in the huge kitchen, all of this going on at once! we had a blast. This place was well stocked with ALL the kitchen tools needed, plenty of hot water, not a single complaint from any of the family or friends who stayed the 4 days with us. Love the originalness of a 100 year old mansion with modern conveniences.

We will stay again!

Excellent location. We were excited to see dolphins every day. Quiet, clean and comfortable place to stay. Would have liked more seating options around TV and more storage/hooks in bathroom. Beautiful outdoor areas to enjoy the view and sunrise!
