Beautiful home that has the perfect amount of space and everything needed for our family. Right on the bay where you can fish off the pier or just relax on the screened in back porch looking for dolphins. Our grandkids did not want to leave and are already talking about next year😂

Perfect home for groups!

We loved this home, it was perfect for us to share the home with friends and family during our stay. My only complaint was that the dock is very tall, so tying our boat to it was not a great option.. and there was no way to drag the boat trailer down the driveway and back out.. we ended up leaving the truck and trailer down at the ramp for the weekend. If we ever come down without our boat, we would certainly consider this home again!

Loved the house. Great for families. Owners must be foodies because kitchen is well stocked for cooking. Only drawback is lack of water access (no ladder or steps) to swim in bay. Great pier but needs a covered area to be able to enjoy during hotter months.

Relaxing and beautiful!

Loved this property! We enjoyed being on the bay side for easy access to dock for fishing and the beach was a very short walk across the street. The bedrooms were spacious and beautiful, beds comfortable and plenty of bathrooms! Loved the views from the porch and the top room. ❤️❤️ ONLY complaint is the driveway is not easy to spot from the road at night and GPS does not easily locate it; very easy to miss if you aren’t already familiar with the area. Overall a minor “con”, property was fantastic and we plan to return in the future!
