We spent 2 weeks in this house and hated to leave. Being right on the water with huge, fully furnished porches, overlooking the bay and a view to the gulf, was incredible. Sunset was a big event every evening. The house is nicely laid out, spacious and light and airy in design. The beds were all super comfortable. Loved the elevator. We kayaked right from the property, saw lots of mullet, dolphins , a shark , a cobia , sting rays and needle fish and blue crabs. The osprey, king fishers,and elegant egrets are plentiful and put on quite a show fishing and eating their catch. We disturbed a flock of ibis when walking along the road. The kitchen is well stocked and we had the best dinners out on the deck. Plenty of comfortable seating in the open great room.
This is a home where you really felt the care and generosity of the host family. The only downside was the master shower had some leaks around the base of the fixtures (so we ended up showering in the other bathroom) and the grout really could use a good cleaning. Otherwise the house was in pristine condition. We definitely plan to return to this wonderful home!
