House is well kept and completely furnished with some beautiful antiques tastefully placed about. I didn't see any other people around for the 5 days we stayed. I did see squirrels and raccoons regularly on the back deck, along with the usual Anole lizards skittering about. I saw 2 River Otters swim by at about 15-20 feet away and saw 2 young Alligators 3 ft. and 4 ft. long. Too many birds to list them all, but Bald Eagles, Osprey, Vultures, Cardinals, Terns, Egrets, Herons, Hawks, Falcons, Kites, Pelicans, and so on. Small Horse Shoe crabs by the hundreds, (there were a few crab traps here, but I didn't put any out), maybe some bigger ones in the river? Fishing was poor for me but, I was told up at the store that this is not the best time of year to fish the river as the water is still pretty cold. Didn't get a chance to get a river charter for fish but will do that next time. Saw NO snakes of any kind. Overall, very relaxing. A great place to escape and unwind. On the downside, you need to get past the fact that the water has color to it. The house has filtration, softening, reverse osmosis, and one other unit in a series of equipment to try to make the water clear, but it's not gonna happen. It seems fine to drink and doesn't have any odd taste, it's just not clear! If you were blind folded, you couldn't tell the difference. So that's it in a nutshell. We enjoyed our time here and will likely come back.
