Fisherman’s paradise

The location to the Gulf is perfect for offshore trips. The dock is one of the best I have seen in the area. Even fishing off the dock was good. Nice view from screen porch when it’s not too hot. Everything was clean and nice large shower. Even a big covered concrete space. Only issue was the AC could barely keep up with the late August heat wave. Granted my wife and I keep our house at 69 in summer and almost never turn on the heat in the winter so other folks might be fine. Did not matter though we had a great time and plan to comeback. Oh and had no trouble pulling our 22ft offshore boat out of the water when we left at the boat ramp on the property. Just watch tides. Thanks for the nice place!

Perfect except for a/c not cold

We loved the view, the dock and being on the water. Very comfortable accommodations but the poor a/c ruined it all.
