Boater’s Dream was a wonderful house! The house itself had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Fishing wasn’t great (catfish) but we saw several manatees off the dock. The pool was fabulous! Stephanie was a great host and answered my questions immediately!

The house was great with an outstanding kitchen and dining area. We enjoyed using the outdoor space and pool very much. It had a great location near the beach, where we were able to catch a morning launch on our last morning. Our only regret was the trip was too short. We'd definitely stay here again!

Perfect Beach Getaway!

The house was amazing. Very clean and welcoming. The host was very responsive and considerate. The river view brought dolphins by every morning and the water glows at night. Everything you need is within walking distance. My 3 teens said it was the best house we’ve ever rented. 10/10!!!

Wonderful home, great location

Beautiful home in a beautiful location. The house was comfortable and very clean, and the pool was perfect for cooling off and enjoying the views. Paddle boards were a huge hit and led to a dolphin sighting. Very close to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. Stephanie was an awesome host with excellent communication--she was so helpful. The area is lovely--quiet and felt very safe. We hated to leave and would love to go back!
