Beautiful property

This house is brand new and is great for large group. The location is perfect. We enjoyed going to the nature preserve close by which had a small and quiet beach on the bayside which was great for small children.

Beautiful & Spacious House Close to Beach

We had such a wonderful week at Harry’s home! It is the best house in the community for location to the amenities and we loved being able to bounce between pickleball and the pool so easily. Harry was such a kind host and was very quick to communicate with us every step of the way.

Beautiful house, great location!

The house setup was perfect for four families! There are four bedrooms upstairs, along with three full bathrooms. There is one bedroom with a full bathroom on the main level, as well as an office with two twin beds. The complex is still under construction, but that is coming to an end and didnt disrupt our experience much. Very nice pool and pickle ball area as well.
