Great place to stay for a fishing trip.

The house has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Great location for access to the bay. Nice to just sit and relax on the swing in the evening. The affordable rate for this property makes it a first choice for future stays.

Incredible location, responsive host

The property is in an incredible location, right on the peaceful canal. The water was clean and smooth, fishing off the dock was easy at night with the water lights. The beach is a short walk/bike ride away. There are restaurants nearby to get a great dinner morning coffee. As perfect as the home and location were, the host was just as great. Paras was super responsive and exceptionally helpful. I would recommend this spot for families, friends or spouses on a getaway. Loved it all!

Cute house, with everything you need. The owner communicated promptly when needed. The front door is hard to close. But that's an easy fix! Great location. Reasonably priced. Quiet neighborhood.
