This is the 4th or 5th time we’ve rented this house. It’s perfect for our yearly multi-generational beach trip. There’s plenty of space for everyone, lots of included amenities, and the location on the canal is perfect for our fishing loving boys. We will be back!

Family Trip

The location was perfect. Being able to walk outside and fish off the dock was great. Plenty of space for our family. Stores close by and restaurants. We were also able to rent a golf cart. The only negative we had was how strong the sulfur smell was anytime we ran the water.

The house is gorgeous. We loved the layout and all the extras that were included. I would absolutely rent it again. I highly recommend this house if you are looking-I doubt you will be disappointed.

3 Generation Trip

This is our second stay in this house and we love it! So much room, everything you could need and very close to restaurants, bars and the beach. & if you don't feel like going out you can fish off the dock, play air hockey, ping pong or corn hole. We had ages ranging from 21 - 70 and there was something for everyone.

Perfect location - beach + fishing!

So much to do for our family holiday weekend! Comfortably slept 10 — adult couples got their own room and the kids loved the bunk bed room. The living room and kitchen are open, perfect for group conversations and memories made. The kiddos stayed busy with the ping pong and air hockey tables. We had a line in the water from the back porch most of the time. Caught an 18” inch trout on the property that we filleted right there on the dock table! Brought our own underwater fishing light, didn’t have much success. However, the neighbors across the canal have four gigantic above water fishing lights. When they turned those on, it lit up like a football field, and action increased. Also fished in the bay, pier, jetties and surf - all within 10 minutes from the house. Crazy convenient for the fishing enthusiasts, with many options. The bait shops are minutes away. We were on the beach during the day, which was just a few minutes away, just across the highway. So easy. Restaurants less than a mile as well. The location of this house is outstanding - no one will be bored if you’re looking for anything mentioned above. Have a great time!

Pictures don’t do the place justice. It’s a gorgeous home with plenty of space. Great little fishing spot out back, and room to hang out with the family! We had children ranging from 2-11 and they stayed entertained the whole time. Not a far drive from the beach or store if you needed something. Overall it was perfect for us.

We had a great time staying in this home! We were 8 adults and 1 baby. My brothers family who lives down the street came over and there was plenty of room for us to gather and visit in the big living and kitchen area. Nice deck and area on the canal. We definitely hope to stay here again! 😀

Perfect Weekend Getaway with family

Koko Karla was a WONDERFUL place to stay! The house was even better than the pictures. The house was perfectly appointed for our group of 11 to stay. Everyone had a nice bedroom to stay in, the house had enough living space for everyone to be together in one place when wanted and also in separate places when desired. We enjoyed being able to fish right off the back, while also being a quick trip over to the beach. The kids enjoyed playing air hockey and corn hole. It was comfortable and well cared for. It’s obvious Koko Karla is a place that is truly loved by it’s owners.
