The house was beautiful! Check in was super easy and all communication with Jody was quick. The house was clean, linens smelled so nice and fresh, and all amenities were waiting for us. Check out was fast and easy, with no ridiculous requirements. We will definitely book again!

Very nice venue and amenities. Some issues with main entrance door, and lighting on main outside deck. Minor inconveniences overall. Our second time staying there and we'd go again.

Adorable beach getaway

This house is exactly like the pictures! Even cuter in person! We went as a quick getaway for our family after Christmas before the kids went back to school. Everything was extremely clean. The porch is huge and has plenty of seating and overlooks the canal. You won’t want to leave that area! There’s even a balcony with a small porch on the top floor. Everything is very up to date and decorated beautifully yet still has a cozy feel. Would definitely go back again!

Fantastic Getaway!!

WOW!! We can't say enough positive things about Flounder Bay. The home was gorgeous, clean and located in a beautiful area along the water. The view from the patio area and dock were incredible. I especially enjoyed fishing off the dock. Wish we could have stayed a few more days, but unfortunately, it was time for us to get back home. We miss it already!! Can't wait to go back!! What a fantastic experience!!

Great stay

Great time in a great home. My only suggestion would be understand how to use a storm door prior to going or ask a neighbor to show. The neighbors are superb and educated me.

Fishing and family fun

Flounder Bay house is a perfect place to relax and recharge. We are previous renters as it has everything you need, just bring groceries and a pole. The vacation experience was perfect.
