Snow Birds, on the bay exceptional reviews

This was our personal home on the Bay. We had a pontoon boat and two jet skis which led to many family memories on the water. Dolphins come swimming past our back dock. We have an outdoor kitchen and fire pit that kept the family gathered around for hours of fun under the stars. The jacuzzi is brand new. The calm on the bay is magnificent! Family time or honeymooners will especially enjoy our home.

If you want a personal Chef - Just ask.

If you can take a moment to look at our location on Google Maps, you will see that our proximity to the beach is close. You are welcome to use everything that we have in our storage box., water toys and blow ups for water games. There is also a professional service that can set you up with the big umbrella and chairs on the beach, let them do the heavy lifting.

We have recently moved, but want to keep our "Retreat" for future generations and many more family memories.

Can we share this with you? If you have skis, bring them. We have a boat slip and two slot jet ski platform. If you don't have jet skis, we can help you to get some for your vacation. We also have good contacts for renting pontoons, if you want a day to play at Crab Island.

I love to cook, so my kitchen has everything you will need. If you would like to be pampered, we can figure out some meals that I will be glad to prepare for you.

This is a special home on the bay.

Beautiful place. Very clean and nice. We really enjoyed the bay side. Crab island was 15 minutes away by boat. Very good communication with the host. This place is a 10. I been going for 25 years to Florida and it’s definitely in the top 5.

Family vacation

If you're looking for a great family getaway, this is the spot. Bonnie was heaven sent. She tried to make sure that we had everything to make our vacation one to remember. My husband and son fished from sunrise to 1:30 a.m. They caught catfish, blowfish, stingray and a blue crab. My daughter and i covered all the malls and got our walks in the morning. It was so peaceful and relaxing with the hot tub in the backyard. This was our second time visiting their home and we can't wait until we go back again.

Lovely, cozy house on the bay - perfect for families

This place is beautiful, cozy and was perfect for our family for the week. The kitchen is exquisite and large - the ice maker and drink fridge a bonus. We cook a lot when staying at our homes away from home, and what’s great about Bonnie’s kitchen is that it has a lot of key seasonings and cooking basics vs. having bare cabinets, which saves time and money. The layout was nice and allowed for my husband and me to allow our daughter to have her own wing of the house. The back porch was a wonderful spot to read and look out onto the bay. We also loved the dock which had a nice spot to tie up our boat and rub rail to prevent damage. The Sea Doo platform was awesome and worked perfectly for us. The house is stocked with puzzles and games which were great for our family! The location relative to the gulf beach access was perfect. I will add that the living room and bedrooms all are equipped with Roku streaming services to watch shows, and the streaming Wi-Fi worked fine for us. The Wifi access on my computer was spotty if you really need to work on a laptop. But a silver lining of this is that it made me disconnect from work! Thanks for your hospitality, Bonnie! We truly enjoyed our stay at your lovely home!

Long weekend getaway to Crab Island

Bonnie was a great host. Explained all the little things about the house so it immediately felt like home. This house is beautiful inside and out. My favorite part was waking up to the view of the bay. I would definitely book here again. We had a ln excellent experience.
