“We had a wonderful stay at the Fin and Tonic! The location was perfect—just a short paddle to Rogers Park, the beach, and waterfront dining. The house was spotless when we arrived, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We loved the variety of kayaks and paddleboards available, including a tandem. The floating dock made launching and boarding a breeze. The host was extremely responsive and provided great local recommendations and updates on area happenings.”

Deron was extremely welcoming!! It was easy to communicate with him and he responds right away. The house was perfect! Lots of parking space. We had everything we needed. Coffee and water bottles were waiting for us. Everything was super clean and smelled good! Smell is important for me! There were a lot of water toys and nice backyard furniture. We saw 3 dolphins, crabs and fish right from the dock and 4 manatees at Hospital Hole, a short kayak from the house. We also enjoyed The Mermaid show a short drive away. Grocery stores, shopping and Tesla charger were all close by. Even a well stocked Asian grocery store!We will definitely come back to make more memories!
