We had a great time staying here. The board walk worked out great for two boats and made it much easier access to the bay. All rooms were clean as well as the common areas. Overall a great experience with great hosts who communicated very well with us. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Nice location and views

My husband and I loved this location. The dock is nice to have. It is shared with others. It wasn't a problem this visit but could be crowded in season. The grill wasn't operable. Great house, just needs some TLC. Amelia, the host was great. I love the master bedroom and bathroom. Great view!

Serenity, Nature and Comfortable Living!

The home was just beautiful & equipped with all of the creature comforts one could desire. The sunrise views overlooking the bay off the large spacious balconies are just spectacular! The primary bedrooms are large and equipped with oversized showers and the kitchen is perfect for those who love to cook! We loved kayaking while both fishing and birding in this bay filled with sea life.

We had a wonderful stay! Great place for our older boys to fish in the bay or on the gulf side plus easy access to a day at the beach. The space and openness of the house along with seating was perfect for our family. Communication with the owner also was most hospitable. We would book again.

Family time

Six of us stayed here. Ranging in age from 15-81. Three generations. The view out to the bay was beautiful and watching the sunrise. Kayaks and paddle board available for our use. The house had an open floor plan with kitchen, din8ng and living rooms all looking at the bay. Two decks for sitting outside. One bedroom and bath on this level. Three bedrooms and two baths on top level. Beautiful view and deck out the master.Kitchen was well equipped with dishes and cooking utensils. Our biggest obstacle was that we expected to have the sink on an outside wall. Old habits. TVs in LR and all bedrooms. 500ft boardwalk over the water.Everything we could want was included.

Get location and cozy

The house accommodated our family of 7 easily. The big, back decks were nice to sit on and relax while looking out at the bay. Beach access was close and we either drove or walked. We rode bikes everyday to the c-store and indulged in tub ice cream. We saw many large crabs as we kayaked thru the bay. Mgmt communication was swift when we had questions prior to arrival. We would not hesitate to go back.

Fishing Trip

House was good, but several issues. Disappointed that the house next door is about 20’ away, with the pool right there, and not shown in any of the photos of the home (check google earth for accurate representation). Additionally, the home shares a dock with 2 other homes, not one, as represented. End of dock was unusable as the lower portion was out of level. No window coverings on rear windows or bathroom shower, so had to put up blankets so the two neighbors on the dock couldn’t see directly into our bathroom Overall it was a good stay, but it felt like the listing was not accurate and it definitely needed some things to make the home usable.

The Best Beach Vaca Ever!

We loved this house and its location on the bay where we spent most of our time paddle-boarding, fishing, and sunning. Access to the beach is not across the road, but a ten minute walk. We will seriously consider going back to this house in the future.

Old house on the bay

The house was very very dated. It needs to be totally renovated from the ground up. Floors were uneven, mold was everywhere, no coverings on the bathroom windows or the bedrooms. The AC worked great and the views were beautiful.
