This property is in a great location for quick access to blue water, near several charter services, tackle shops and within a stones throw from several great seafood restaurants.
Just a beautiful home with many places to go for a good time. Pool was great and jacuzzi was wonderful! Nice quiet area with lots to do! Will definitely return!
This is great location with an incredible view of a bay just off of Vaca Cut. We didn't have a boat, but would be even better with the dock on the property. Mangroves on side of property across from canal make this feel very secluded and natural, there is a mangrove island you can kayak or paddleboard around.

Nice units. Very clean. Universal location. Be reminded your neighbours (5-6 other units) can see and hear everything you do and vice versa.
The pool wasn’t heated. After several talks with manager finally agreed the pool heater was turned off or broke. I would confirm pool temperature PRiOR to booking.
Units have ample amenities. Everything else worked as advertised.
unkept. moldy pillows , broken screen door , broken dryer , broken blender, roaches everywhere, sink sprayer not functioning .Black mind in showers and tubs.
property manager responded but overall interrupted our stay … we declined exterminator , as this should have been done before our arrival.

The guests who stayed this week were quite challenging and seemed consistently dissatisfied. Despite the fact that the pillows were not moldy but had stains, we promptly addressed their concerns by providing six new pillows within an hour of being notified. The screen had fallen earlier in the day before their check-in, but our staff had confirmed it was on track during a prior check. The exterminator had visited two days before their arrival, and encountering two or three dying roaches is considered normal in our area.
The dryer was not malfunctioning upon their arrival; however, the cleaners had to wash everything due to the previous guests' departure the day before. Within two days of their stay, they reported an issue with the dryer. Our handyman was sent over immediately, but upon realizing it couldn't be fixed, we promptly arranged for a new one to be delivered. Appliance failures are unforeseeable, and unfortunately, we have no control over when they may occur.
These particular guests appeared to be discontented and actively sought out issues. On the same night as the dryer incident, the husband initially claimed a leaking shower, only to retract the statement an hour later, attributing it to the children wetting the floor. Unfortunately, they proved to be challenging guests, and as a result, we have chosen to blacklist them.
