Our family was extremely pleased with this home, the location, all the amenities and the owners Ernesto & Belkis. They were so pleasant and easy to work with and were genuinely caring and quick to respond to our inquiries.
Their home was impeccably clean and well cared for and quaintly decorated. It was home away from home for our family of three (mom, dad, teenage son) for a month and felt very comfortable. The upstairs home is where we lived mostly, but the downstairs apartment, with an open living/sleeping area was super convenient for the occasional day-guests to hang out and shower after a day of boating, etc. It was definitely helpful having the second bathroom downstairs, along with the washer/dryer and extra fridge. The downstairs patio area was perfect for barbecuing and just relaxing after a day of boating.
The docking situation was very convenient for our boat (22.5 Robalo), with additional space to tie up a smaller boat or water toys.
The home is very conveniently situated on a canal with quick access to the gulf, but is also conveniently located just a couple blocks from Overseas Highway, on a quiet street . The neighbors were quiet but very friendly. Within walking distance, we frequented the corner store and Craig's restaurant (excellent breakfast menu & boasts 'the best fish sandwich'). A new Publix supermarket recently opened a few miles south of this home, but the Winn Dixie shopping plaza is little closer and has a few restaurants (Dunkin Donuts, Great Wall of China, Overeasy) a liquor store , the movie theater & more. There are quite a few great restaurants all within a few miles.
We would definitely consider renting this property again in the future. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a piece of tranquil paradise. It is perfect for a small family.
