Perfect location. View from deck across Little Hickory Bay to mangrove island. Just a couple of blocks walk to the Fish House restaurant and Sweet Melissa's (key lime pie and ice cream). Quiet. Easy launch of guest kayak into Little Hickory Bay. Spacious rooms. Comfortable bed.

Our Stay
All 7 of us were very happy with our rental of both units A and B. The pool was great for the kids. The dock provided hours of fishing fun. Great views of the water and only minutes from the beach. Excellent location.
The unit is very clean and a great space for two people. The bed is a little soft (for us), and the master is tight, but overall, we really liked the space, especially its location.
We enjoyed the community feel of the area. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and our deck had a good view. We had some small issues but the agency was quick to respond.The trash barrels were confusing but the neighbors were helpful.

This property is in a great location. A Publix and 3 very good restaurants were less than a mile away. The duplex was very clean and the view of the bay water was wonderful. I spent a lot of free time on the deck that had a very nice table and chairs. We used the brand new grill one night. I used the paddle board and went around the canals and out to the bay near the channel. I was followed by several dolphins! I used one of the bikes to ride to the beach a couple of times. Everything worked and we enjoyed our stay. If I had one suggestion it would be to update and refresh the paint on the walls and update the style with new furniture. That would be for cosmetic purposes because everything was very clean.
Overall stay was OK. There were some general housekeeping issues that need to be addressed.Bathrooom light fixture is full of bugs and dirtBikes dirty and no locksThe supplies in the garage area should be in a cabinet not open to the elements The deck should be cleaned of moldThe interior should be finished being painted Bathroom sink needs a stopperBack stairway tree fonds should be trimmed
