    Lovely in Paradise

    This property is even more lovely than it appears in pictures. It was perfect for our month in Paradise. Very well equipped. I did not need anything I packed for the kitchen. The beds are comfortable with nice linens. Plenty of pillows, blankets & towels. The property manager, Karen, is wonderful to work with and responsive to any issues that may arise. There is plenty of outdoor seating and eating areas. The gas grill is nice. Plenty of parking for your vehicle and trailers. The only downside is the docking on the canal. The owners boat is on the lift which leaves little room for your boat if you bring one with you. We managed to secure our small 16 foot C-Hawk with our bow under the owners bow and our stern hung over the ramp. I cannot say enough nice things about this property. Even the neighbors are nice and helpful!
