About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Home away from home but with dolphins and manatees in your back yard.

The property is the downstairs of our home with separate back entrance, separate central ac and mini split ac. Lovely location on the intracoastal waterway with dock, salt water pool, hot tub, kayak and bike use. You can enjoy watching dolphins, manatees and many sea birds from the pool and dock area. Our beaches have white sugar sand and lovely blue water. and are a short 2 block walk away. There are many great restaurants and bars within walking distance.We do live upstairs so you may occasionally hear us but we do not use the pool,or other outdoor amenities when we have guests.

Perfect place

This property was wonderful. It was clean and had everything you needed for a wonderful vacation. The owners were the nicest people who were easy to communicate with and provided so many "extras" that you felt like you were home. The location was wonderful that you could walk to the beach then come back and soak in the hot tub. Would definitely come back!!!

We had the best vacation ever here! The property was perfect and had everything you could imagine. We took advantage of the hot tub, pool, kayaks and bicycle, loved just sitting on the dock and watching the boats pass. The whole place was immaculate and spotless inside and out. We will definitely be back, my family will remember this vacation forever !

Our family of 4 absolutely loved our stay! They have everything you need and more, plenty of beach toys and supplies, perfect for the short walk to the beach. Our girls loved the pool and hot tub.
