We loved the peacefulness of seeing the sunrise over the water from the wall of windows inside, and watching the sunset across the street, sitting at the restaurant with our feet in the sand. The house was everything we needed; comfy beds, couch, table and chairs. We take it as a fun challenge to adapt to a different kitchen than our own home by washing our dishes by hand(or just pick up paper goods) and cooking there instead of eating out, which is more expensive on the island. The AC units worked well and kept the rooms cool during the very humid and hot summer days! We saw many types of wildlife such as birds, fish, manatee, and a 3 foot shy iguana! We traveled all around SW FL to take kayak shelling tours, jet skiing out of Marco Island, enjoying the Naples beach, and college visit to Ave Maria University. Overall, this beats a resort any day for our likes!
