Perfect spot for our stay
The house had everything we need and the location on a canal was nice. It provided a lovely spot to relax with morning coffee. Wish we were coming back next year!

Perfect Long Weekend
Thank you for a wonderful long weekend at your place! Communication was quick, it was clean, we had plenty of space for our two families and fur babies, lots of fun was had by all ages on the boat and in the kayaks exploring the area!! Neighbors are friendly. The stilt houses, scalloping, snorkeling around with all the tropical fish, sandbar time, Durney Key and Anclote adventures gave us priceless memories. We made a beautiful, quick morning walk around the kayak launch area and park in Brasher Park. Gill Dawgs accommodated our large group with almost no wait time and the food was very good. We loved this area, convenient to everything yet it felt quiet and far from anything. We even got to see the manatees out in the canal as well as a baby gator (which surprised us!). We would definitely return! Thanks so much for your insight on boating the area. 💓
