Thanks for your review! We're so glad to hear you had fun and found everything you needed during your stay. Great tip about the bug spray. Florida evenings can definitely bring out the mosquitos! We'd love to host you again anytime.
We had a great time and it served our needs and purpose. It is a great location for boaters and the pool is definitely a plus. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean. I cannot stress this enough, bring bug repellent! It’s Florida, it’s on the canal, there’s mangroves, so there are mosquitoes

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad the home met your needs and that you enjoyed the location, pool, and comfort of the beds. We appreciate your note about the bugs. Florida canals and mangroves do attract mosquitoes, so bug repellent is always a good idea. We’d love to host you again in the future!
