This was the perfect little place for us. You don't find places like this every day. We are happy that we did. We would love to come back. The owners were very easy to work with and responded right away.
This was from right outside the door. Beautiful sunset.

The beachfront ground floor property was clean, convenient and comfortable. Walking out the front door directly onto the sandy beach is a fabulous perk offered when you stay here. Sunset views can be enjoyed looking out the front window or by walking the short distance to the water’s edge. During our 12 day stay we experienced cooler weather as well as much warmer weather towards the end. The heating system and air conditioning both worked very efficiently. As we look forward to our next trip to the Florida Gulf Coast we definitely would stay at this property again. Thanks for the hospitality.
