Great location on quiet street with view of the inter coastal waterway out the back screened in porch with pool. Easy to kayak and explore. Plenty of room inside.
Gorgeous home, in a fantastic location. Beautifully appointed, peaceful, bright and everything we wanted in our vacation rental. The hosts were helpful and very responsive. Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Beautiful home that worked out perfectly for our kids and grandchildren. The pool was a big hit along with kayaks that we could explore in. We saw many dolphins swim nearby along with some manatees! Ed was a very responsive and detailed host. We would love to come back!

Thank you so much, you guys were a joy to have and would love to have you back anytime.
We had an amazing time at the house. Ed was super responsive and proactive in making sure we had everything we needed. The house was beautiful and well stocked. We loved the pool and being right on the water. The nature preserve was so close we could walk the paths daily. We saw so much wildlife, dolphins, manatees, tortoises, etc. I would highly recommend this house for a quiet getaway.

Would rent to Shipley and group anytime. They left the house spotless and treated it like their own. Appreciate it. Look forward to hosting you all again. Thanks
House is even more beautiful in person then the photos. It is tastefully decorated, comfortable and has everything you need for an incredible stay. The pool and outside area are of resort quality. And the view....gorgeous!! We saw porpoise, otters and many birds.
Beaches were a quick and easy drive. The guys did some nearby golfing and loved the course. We visited many nearby restaurants for dinner and loved every meal.
Ed, the host was super responsive and very easy to work with. I would recommend this gem to everyone. We cant wait to return.

Thank you so much for the amazing review and would have your group back anytime!!! A pleasure and left the place spotless. Thanks again!!
We had a fantastic vacation at this beautiful home! Home is in a great location, right on the water, views were beautiful. Right next to Lemon Bay park; walking trails and bird watching; lots of birds at the home as well. Very quiet and peaceful location. Great enclosed Florida room and open top floor deck; sunsets from top deck were beautiful. Our family enjoyed the well appointed home - interior is lovely, with comfortable and plentiful furniture. Kitchen had everything we needed - huge frig and freezer and separate ice maker was great. Kids loved the pool and provided floats - was kept nice and warm (we paid extra for the pool heat ahead of time). Also provided were fishing poles and kayaks which we all enjoyed. Host was very accommodating and responsive. We will definitely be returning to this beautiful home in the future!
