This charming and quirky rental is just as described. Old Florida charm, and the location is excellent: right on the bay, next to a lovely little park, and close to the downtown action. Will stay there again!
Standing at the edge of the bay looking toward the rental entrance.
Walking from the rental across the park toward O'Maddy's, great food and happy hour spot.

This was the lovliest place I have every stayed. We were sad we didn't book an entire week! Lisa was lovely. The artistry and artisan effects complimented the style of the home. The beach area on the bay was quiet and secluded. Amazingly quiet considering "downtown" was a few blocks away!! Definitely coming back for a much longer stay next time!!
