Wonderful sweet place to stay. It was very comfortable. It was bright inside with attention to detail. We loved the peaceful feeling here. My husband even caught a few fish off the dock. The bed was very comfortable. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

SO MUCH BETTER IN PERSON
I was fearful this property would be too small, but it’s actually larger in person!! Super clean and there is just no beating that backyard! Right on a canal, With band music from a nearby watering hole plays throughout the day, but not terribly late. We loved everything about this place!
