Everything was as it was supposed to be and even better. The house is beautiful with great views, big bedrooms, and big bathrooms. We had a small problem with the pool heater, and it was taken care of immediately. We did have some family come in while we were there and they all were very impressed. Hope we can continue to rent this house in the future.

The home is beautiful, clean and very well stocked. The surround sound is great out by the pool. The views are unbelievable and the upstairs screened porch is great for evenings to keep away from the noseeums. No need to go to Mallory square you have the best sunset from the upper deck, top floor, pool, or pine channel chairs. The furnishings are comfortable. Bella is very attentive to the few questions we had. We have gone to the keys almost every year for over 25 years and the accommodations were top notch. Boat ramp is convenient across the channel and fuel dock nearby on the other side of the bridge. You won’t be disappointed if you choose this for your stay.

Excellent Property and Experience
We had a wonderful month long stay at this home. The home was clean, well stocked, and lots of extras to make our stay very pleasant. The views were wonderful and the grounds were meticulously kept. Pool was definitely a bonus and we used it daily. We saw Tarpon, sharks, lobster, crab, and caught Mangrove Snapper off of the dock. The house location is quiet and peaceful and the neighbors were great.
The furniture and beds were comfortable and like new. The area had a great variety of Happy Hour spots to get a cocktail and appetizers.
This location is more of a peaceful getaway which was exactly what we were looking for.
Bella went out of her way to make our experience a great one, and the handyman Rusty was there if we ever needed anything.
Overall, we highly recommend
