Jennifer A., LUTZ

The floors and counters were the cleaniest i have ever seen in a rental. I was there for less then 30 mins of my 2 night stay. The furniture was very old and felt dirty when I sat on the sofa. The place was very dark and seemed unsettling to me. It was also much further from Tallahassee than i thought (my mistake).

Very clean and great location

Very clean and a great location. Check in was not a problem a nice cold air-conditioning throughout. The two main floor toilets are very slow to flush, but did work. Typically, we see kitchens a little better outfitted with good knives and pans than this location. The home appears to have settled some from previous storms and the doors tend to hang up and make a lot of noise inside. Difficult to be quiet getting up at night. Would’ve loved to have had a second shower or bath other than the sand room. It states to have basic cable service, but we never could find a weather station that did not require a subscription. Only other issue was the ceiling fan in the second bedroom vibrates too much to leave on at night due to noise. It does have a great porch overlooking the canal a nice screened in porch on the front and a cute little dock overlooking the canal. These were not issues that could be corrected during our stay so I did not bring them up to the owners while we were there. Still a very nice place to stay.

Panacea Oysterfest

Propert was good for us, furnishings a bit dated but fine for weekend. Valted ceilings make for tough heating. Oysterfest was crowded, the Trident was fun

Quiet

The furnishings were not comfortable and the floors were a bit of a rooler coaster. Also the TV has bare bones TV channels. However, the Area was quiet anf that was a goal certainly. My advise would be to do a bit of an update to address the wavey floors a, lighten the place up and get some updated furnishing. Its not a bad place otherw.The area is peaceful so jut build from there.

Weekend getaway with family. Great location with beach just right up the road. Not far from things we planned to do. House was very clean and spacious with great amenities and cool decorations. We enjoyed the dock and loved the back porch. We’ll definitely return!

I just Love this House. It is perfect for us to get away from the hustle of our busy lives. We are close to the Boat Ramp here at this house, so we are out on the water every day Fishing. Working with the Homeowner is easy and he is very kind.

If you're looking for someplace quiet and full of nature. This is your place! Between the crabs under the dock on site, and the undisturbed beaches 9 minutes (walking) away this place was breathtaking! Highly recommend this little gem 😍
