Great-clean-safe canal property!

Loved this newly renovated waterfront home. All of our needs and wants were met. Brand new everything! I was able to just enjoy our stay here. Fishing on the back dock and kayaking was our highlight!

Great place!

Beautiful house and location. Very clean. The fenced backyard was perfect for the puppers. Only disappoint was the bed size - 2 beds more of a full size and one a twin, however the four of us are all pretty tall (5’9, 5’10, 6’3 and 6’7). Would rent again if just the two of us or for all four if beds were at least a queen. Great communication from house manager.
