Winter Getaway!!
We spent 4 weeks in this lovely home. The layout is perfect with plenty of room and space. The screened in lanai and heated pool is the very best. Add to this, a fenced yard to accommodate pets….truly a home away from home. We did not want to leave to return to Maine! Definitely will return again!! Thank you Nick and Travis!

Great Home! Exceptionally Clean!! Can't wait for our next vacation!!
From the moment we booked, we were greeted with an email and walked through every step of the check-in process. Prior to arrival, and all throughout our stay, Nick & Travis were both very attentive & quickly responsive to any question we had. The listing describes the home as "Dog-Friendly", but you'd never know pets were ever in the home. It was EXTREMELY clean! The lay-out of the home was GREAT! And the 3-bedrooms gave a great variety of mattress firmness to fit any comfort level. SO ENJOYED the 75 inch television, the heated pool and the gas grill! Very close to grocery stores, restaurants/sunset on the beach, and manatee watching! "Nick & Travis - THANK YOU for making our trip so enjoyable! Due to health reasons, we had not been able to take a vacation for just over 2 years. Having such a great home that we felt so comfortable in, allowed us to relax and truly enjoy our time. We'll be back!!!"
