House had everything needed and more to enjoy time spent in the area. Kayaks, paddle boat, grill, boat lift, golf cart and hot tub were all in good working order. Although no dolphin sightings, in mid march, we saw several manatees and a pair of bald eagles roam the canal.

Excellent location for a fishing outing. Clean, comfortable for 4 adult men on a fishing outing for a couple of days. Room for 2 boats with 1 on a lift and another moored at the dock. Pool in the PM after fishing all day was excellent.

Amazing place to stay

This property listing is very underrated. The property manager is very easy going and easy to get a hold of. They have anything you could think of needing there. The hot tub is the size of a small pool and you can’t beat the sunset views.
