Astor house on the canal

Great location. We saw a gator swimming up and down the canal and sunning itself near the boat dock. No WiFi or cable. Seemed like the house had been empty for a while- quite possible with the pandemic. We enjoyed our stay.

Vacation Rental

We enjoyed this Astor vacation rental, on a canal, with a covered boat slip. We were allowed to use the private community boat ramp just a short distance away. The home was very clean and well furnished. The bathrooms look recently remodeled . No cable service but we did watch several movies on the DVD player. This rental is pet friendly with a very large yard. The owners are very friendly and we will book this property again.
