Great time on the canal!
We loved our home away from home. The customer service was amazing!!! All of our check in and questions were answered immediately. The home was comfortable, clean, and a great size for our family. The kids loved fishing off the deck. Until next time!!

Quiet end of the canal
Great place to relax recharge and unwind. Beds and bedding are hotel quality as advertised. Family room is comfortable, outdoor patio has plenty of seating and kitchen stocked enough to accommodate meals. Caught fish and crabs from the dock for a wonderful dinner.

Great place to stay
The house was just as pictured and had plenty of room for our family. The beds were comfortable and we had zero issues with the accommodations. We didn’t cook, we opted to go to the West Marina, which had good food. We came down with friends and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. The beach was nice and not very crowded even for Spring Break week, which was a very nice surprise. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay!
We wanted a short getaway after Christmas and this was perfect for four adults and two small dogs. We really enjoyed the porch upstairs - our weather was great also! We even did some fishing from the downstairs deck which was very nice also. We recommend and would stay there again!!
