Awesome all the Way Around

Whether we were sitting outside enjoying the view or sitting inside watching something on Netflix, we were relaxing. Loved the openness of the main living area. I could prepare a meal while still be included in the conversation. Communication with our hosts was always handled in a timely fashion. I do miss my bird friends. They gave me the opportunity to capture some nest photos.

Beauty in the water

We loved staying at the mermaid house. In the morning we sat on the blue bar stools reading our Bible. Every morning there was an egret, great Blue heron, and an anhingha. The fish were jumping, too. The place was very comfortable and well equipped. The owners were very responsive to questions. Couldn’t ask for more.

Lovely house. Very comfortable and well stocked. Really enjoyed the swim spa. I'm recovering from a broken shoulder and shattered patella and bought some foam water weights to do PT in the spa. So much more fun in the water.
