The house was exactly as pictured! It was amazing and such a great space for having a lot of people. The grill worked, the pool was so refreshing, and the kids loved jumping in the canal to go kayaking and paddle boarding. We had a tournament at IMG and the location was 6 minutes away and the easiest drive. Chris was great to work with, friendly, and available for anything we needed. Highly recommend staying here.

Amazing house on the water
We loved our stay here and wish it could have been longer. There was plenty of room for 10 of us. We enjoyed hanging out in the pool. We didnt have the opportunity to utilize the boat dock, but hope to in the future. Chris was very kind and thorough with our check in. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean and well equipped. We hope to visit again soon!
