Communication with the host was excellent. Easy check in and house was clean, well stocked, comfortable and well located. We loved sitting by the water and watching the fish jump, the sound of the birds and even had a dolphin swim by. Would love to stay at the house again. We stayed for the month of February 2026 and would like to do 6 weeks next time.

Host was welcoming and answered questions immediately. The place was beautiful and cozy. Nothing more relaxing than a warm sea breeze and canal front on two sides of the home. Location was perfect; not far from Mom. Enjoyed sunsets every night!
