EASY Beach with twins
This property is on a canal with an abundance of private beach, calm waters, dolphins, and boats to watch. With 4 year old twin boys, bathroom breaks and snacks are made simple, just a few steps to the beach. No waiting for elevators or a crowded beach. We had the beach and water pretty much to ourselves. The property manager made sure we were settled in and went out of their way to let the property owner know about a stuffed toy that was at the house that the twins loved. The owners daughter brought by a stuffy for the twins to take home so they wouldn’t have to leave empty handed. This is definitely going above and beyond. Plenty of room to spread out, the house has everything you need for a multi-generational vacation. Couldn’t have asked for a better relaxing vacation.

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE AND QUIET AREA
The house was clean when we checked in. The view was beautiful. We loved staying on the bay side. The water was calm and my young children enjoyed being able to play in the water without having to worry about waves. The kitchen has lots of cookware and bakeware (not included: air fryer, rice pot, strainer). The living area was larger than expected. Large sliding door leading to the beach (no curtains). The primary bedroom has a beautiful, large view of the bay. The attached bathroom has an oversized shower (no bath). None of the bedrooms had curtains on the windows. None of the bedroom doors locked. Several outlets didn't work. Overall, we loved the house and the location. We look forward to being able to visit again.

House was very clean. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Good communication with property management. Great location, easy to get to wherever you want to go.
Best part was having your own beach in your backyard. Sitting and watching ICW traffic go by, everything from dolphins to barges. Very relaxing. Will be back.

Beautiful spot with a beautiful beach
We booked a week at this sweet beach house for my mother’s 70th birthday and enjoyed every moment. The house has a nice open kitchen and living area looking out to a beautiful private beach and waterfront. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware, plates, glasses etc and was perfect for our needs. Although the home is older and could use a little updating with the bathrooms, the decor is charming and well suited to ‘beach life’ entertaining .

Warm getaway
Nicely located to watch all the boats go by - and there are ALOT of boats that go by. Walk out the back door to paddle board around the bay. Easy drive to Publix and down to the beach. Very convenient location. The furniture is a little out of date, but it worked. Kitchen is very user friendly- plenty of dishes, pots and pans.
