Home away from home
The pictures don't do this place justice. It is so beautiful and so many things to do at the property. We enjoyed kayaking, swimming, fishing and seeing manatees right from the dock. The screened in area was a great place we loved having lunch and dinners in without having to worry about flies or mosquitoes. Inside there was plenty of room for everyone! There were games and movies provided along with a list of different restaurants and activities for us to enjoy. It was close to everything, and offered everything we were wanting and then some. Will definitely be back!

We really liked the house and the outdoor area. Plenty of things to do inside and out. Fun to watch the fish jump and the squirrels play.

Happy Thanksgiving
What a nice place to celebrate Thanksgiving together with our family. Loved paddle boarding/kayaking up the river and explore the beautiful nature and seeing the manatee peacefully gliding through the water. Loved that the living area was upstairs so we could relax with our little ones. Spend hours on the bottom of the house and enjoyed the kids enjoying the little scooters and games. Thank you, Ashley for letting us rent your place.
