Great weekend gateway.
Pictures don't do this property any justice. House was beautiful and accommodated all of our needs. We had a blast paddling up the river and also enjoyed catching fish and crabs from the deck. My family would definitely stay here again. Host meet all of our needs which were only small questions about checking out. Nice game room home was very spacious.

Christmas vacation
We planned to swim with manatees but found so many other wonderful things to do as well. The location of the house is perfect for taking a paddle up or down river. Up river is gorgeous and a quiet paddle of clear water and nature. Convenient to both state parks, manatee tours and even an airboat ride. We had the best time and will definitely be back!!
