Beach football weekend

Cottage was an authentic Florida fishing cottage with knotty cedar walls and cabinets. Location is amazing…Mashes Sand beach which is walkable was beautiful with beach chairs to watch sunrise it is amazing and shallow for kids. Also loved the pop up books and movie posters.

This Was My Second Stay in this House

I just Love this House. It is perfect for us to get away from the hustle of our busy lives. We are close to the Boat Ramp here at this house, so we are out on the water every day Fishing. Working with the Homeowner is easy and he is very kind.

Great Weekend with the Girls

We really enjoyed this house; it is a hidden Gem. Working with the homeowner was easy and so was getting everything booked for our weekend. If you are Looking for a Quiet Place to get away from the Hustle and Bustle of the world this is your place. Just a short few minutes away from Alligator Point and right down the street from the best place to watch the sunrise. All the locals come every Saturday & Sunday Morning to watch the sunrise at Mashes Sands Beach. We made lots of Great Memories on our stay in this house. What are you waiting for.....Book this House!!

My wife and I had a phenomenal stay here. Steven the host was very transparent and made things super easy. The house was clean and the beds and pillows were the first comfy ones we'd slept on during our roadtrip, which was much appreciated. The rear deck facing the canal was beautiful to sit at and just relax. And right down the road we saw the single most amazing sun rise we'd ever seen. This is an absolutely great place to stay if youre looking to get away and relax for a few days on the Gulf!
2 min drive to the beach to see the most amazing sunrise.

Very clean and great location

Very clean and a great location. Check in was not a problem a nice cold air-conditioning throughout. The two main floor toilets are very slow to flush, but did work. Typically, we see kitchens a little better outfitted with good knives and pans than this location. The home appears to have settled some from previous storms and the doors tend to hang up and make a lot of noise inside. Difficult to be quiet getting up at night. Would’ve loved to have had a second shower or bath other than the sand room. It states to have basic cable service, but we never could find a weather station that did not require a subscription. Only other issue was the ceiling fan in the second bedroom vibrates too much to leave on at night due to noise. It does have a great porch overlooking the canal a nice screened in porch on the front and a cute little dock overlooking the canal. These were not issues that could be corrected during our stay so I did not bring them up to the owners while we were there. Still a very nice place to stay.

Panacea Oysterfest

Propert was good for us, furnishings a bit dated but fine for weekend. Valted ceilings make for tough heating. Oysterfest was crowded, the Trident was fun

Quiet

The furnishings were not comfortable and the floors were a bit of a rooler coaster. Also the TV has bare bones TV channels. However, the Area was quiet anf that was a goal certainly. My advise would be to do a bit of an update to address the wavey floors a, lighten the place up and get some updated furnishing. Its not a bad place otherw.The area is peaceful so jut build from there.
