About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
The Leonard on the Gulf
Welcome to my home and to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world! The Leonard on the Gulf, is centrally located within walking distance to our Historic City centre and public beach access only 2 miles away. Front yard has plenty of room to park your boat, caravan and 4 cars.
The full kitchen has all the amenities of home with a mini bar. Ask about my pontoon boat specials if interested in renting!
When you need to unwind from a long day at the beach, the backyard is another chill spot to relax. Do a little backyard grillin' or enjoy a nice fire whilst making smores or lounging in the hammock.
The master bedroom has a full bath/shower, the other two rooms have a shared bathroom. Please beware...really hot water! We do have an outdoor shower to wash off prior to entering the home, our powder soft sand sure does find areas to stick to...you'll see what we mean and will appreciate this option.
Full washing machine/dryer on-site with laundry detergent.
Last but not least, cleanliness is our top priority. We only use eco-friendly products as we want to keep you, our beaches and waterways free from chemicals. We strive for a 5-star rating from every guest. After each stay we fog the house with a plant-based disinfectant to ensure any germ that might have stayed behind is gone.

Vacation spot
Great location for family vacation. Close to multiple beaches and great food! Host was easy to contact. Few bug appearances but that’s expected being close to the water. Overall had a great time and would recommend.

Nice place!
We throughly enjoyed our stay at this place! Great location, perfect size for our party, loved the backyard and fire pit. Place is clean, great amenities - has everything you need as well as things you didnt know you needed. VERY responsive host. Let me tell you my most favorite thing about this place... the hot water heater!! Lol. We had 6 people showering plus the washer going and NOT ONCE did we run out of hot water. I need one those for my home! Thank you for the lovely stay.

Family Vacation
The house was exactly as described. There was an issue with the water line on the fridge, but it l was an easy fix so we fixed it. However, the hosts were easy to reach and willing to fix it quickly. I gave it 4 stars on cleanliness because there were a few roaches in the kitchen and living room. Having the shower on the outside was extremely helpful.
