Liked: Cleanliness
Great vibe and decor. Spacious for two couples. Nice walking path that is well lit. Loved the layout of the unit. Thus Unit is dog friendly, but there was dog hair on couch and on the couch throw pillows as well as fur balls of dog hair on floor. Otherwise, very clean though. Beds were super comfy. Two and a half bathes were great for us ( two couples). Would stay here again.

Perfect Getaway for Unplugging and Unwinding! We spent 4 wonderful days at this location, and overall it was exactly what we needed for a peaceful getaway. If you’re looking for a place to truly unplug and unwind, this is a great little spot.The Good:The community was wonderfully quiet during the week, creating the perfect atmosphere for relaxation. The real highlight was the dining - there’s a little restaurant called Bluegill Boathouse where we had the best blackened grouper I’ve ever tasted. Absolutely incredible!We also rented a pontoon boat from Heritage Harbor Marina, and the staff there were exceptionally friendly and helpful. They really made our day on the water special.Areas for Improvement:The bedroom TVs were quite small, which might be disappointing if you enjoy watching shows before bed. Additionally, the mattresses were somewhat uncomfortable - something to keep in mind for your stay.Bottom Line:Despite the minor comfort issues, this place delivered exactly what we were looking for - a quiet, peaceful environment perfect for disconnecting from the busy world. The excellent local dining and friendly boat rental service were wonderful bonuses. We’d definitely consider returning for another extended stay.

I work on the road and prefer to stay in a nice clean comfortable rental. This place was all of that and more. Would definitely recommend it is worth every penny. I will be back.
