House was very clean and equipped. Laid back community and within an hour of Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach. We had great success kayak fishing in the bay. Couldn’t of asked for a better stay!

The cottage was awesome!!! We loved the outdoor area spent most of our time there. Had every amenity we needed, except for salt and pepper. An amazing breakfast restaurant and the Blue Dog Bar and Grill within walking distance were delicious! We could have done without a few giant palmetto bugs but being next to the water I guess that was somewhat expected. Perfect view of the sunset from the front of the house. Very quiet little neighborhood would definitely come back.

Love

We had a wonderful time. Very comfortable home. The outdoor shower was a relief after a long day. Was able to fish the canal. Wishing it didn’t go by so fast.
