House was perfectly appointed for our large group (4 adults, children ages 15, 12, 12, 12, 11, 9 and 1) with kayaks and canoes. The Gulf was a short distance (turn right off the dock!) and the Springs a bit further (about 90 minutes for our admittedly slower group with children-- turn left off the dock). House is definitely not baby proof as the top master suite has a door in the closet which opens to the insta-hot water heater and then a large drop off which baby found immediately. But, as the youngest of many we're used to watching closely and that is a parental supervision, not home issue. There are many pages of detailed instructions for any questions you may have. Delicious dinner at Brian's Place (rather latin/cuban/italian fusion) at host's recommendation. Enjoyed the little waterfront bar down the river from the house, as well. Jeff was excellently communicative-- will stay again.
