Beautiful & spacious home
My husband & I spent two weeks in this lovely, well appointed home. The lanai with hot tub & pool were just perfect for private peaceful relaxation. Appreciated the cleanliness & great kitchen since we love to cook. Our host, Michelle was just excellent making sure we had everything we needed and was easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend the place.

Can't wait to come back!
We really enjoyed our stay here! My husband and I needed a warm get away and this home did just the trick. Michelle the host was wonderful and immediately got back to us with any questions we had. There were plenty of dishes and extras in the home. We enjoyed the pool and spa during the day and then also really enjoyed watching movies in the theater seating at night. Our only regret is we wished we would have rented a boat!

Tranquil Paradise
From the photos on the website, we expected the home to be pretty amazing, but when we got there, the photos hadn't fully portrayed how truly beautiful the home and setting are. There are surrounding neighbors, but you'd never know it. When you're there you have the feeling it's your own private paradise. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai watching the periodic activity in the canal, with fish jumping, birds coming and going, and the occasional boater passing by. Palm trees surround the pool area, and you have a true feeling of paradise. We had to contact the homeowner a few times with various questions, and she could not have been nicer and more accommodating. She made sure the house was outfitted with everything needed, and had very helpful info on the home and surrounding areas. The neighborhood is convenient as well, located near restaurants, beaches, groceries and other shopping areas. We loved our time there so much, we're heading back for another visit!

Beautiful property
The house was one of the cleanest and most well stocked houses we have stayed in over the last ten years. The house was spotless. The setup of the living room and kitchen was great for hanging out and cooking. Plenty of room for everyone to sit. The pool was amazing and seating around the pool was plentiful and nice. We docked the boat at the dock and took it out to the gulf several times, it was a bit of a boat ride to the gulf but it was an easy ride and the lock was super quick coming and going. There were some no-see-ums, but it’s Florida on the water so that was to be expected. Overall, great house and would definitely consider renting again.

Very Relaxing Wonderful Home
We have stayed at this home once before and have already scheduled for next year. The home is very clean and comfortable. The salt water pool is wonderful to relax and watch the boats passing by on the canal. Even with the boat traffic the lanai has privacy. Michelle is very attentive to requests and at the same time respects privacy. The home is in the perfect area to visit islands around and do fun activities. Definitely 5 star all the way.

AMAZING Property & Great Owners!
We stayed about three weeks at this AMAZING home, and Michele was the best property owner that we have dealt with in all our stays. The home was so beautiful, comfortable and clean. We really enjoyed watching the boats going by and especially enjoyed the pool! It was wonderful having such an attentive owner who went to the trouble to provide video and written instructions on how to heat the pool – perfect for our November stay as the pool was used almost daily! The day we checked into the home was also the day the new pool cage was installed after last year’s hurricane damaged the old one. Southwest Florida took a terrible hit from that hurricane and it was nice to see the area had mostly recovered from it. The kitchen is fully equipped and was perfect for our family who live in the area to come over for Thanksgiving dinner. Michele even took the time to bring over some baking dishes to help with our Thanksgiving meal. (Highly recommend reserving Cracker Barrel’s Heat n’ Serve Thanksgiving Feast for a delicious, no fuss dinner!) We also took advantage of Instacart to get Publix groceries delivered to the house – convenient and time-saving when on vacation. 😊 The neighborhood is quiet and safe. We hated to leave this gorgeous home but hope to stay again next year!

Family with teens, week stay.
Our stay was great. The house is absolutely beautiful and the layout is perfect for traveling with teens - master suite is on the opposite side of the house from the other two bedrooms. Anything we needed was already there for cooking/meal prep. The pool was great, we did not choose to heat the hot tub or pool because it was so hot, but it worked and was beautiful as well. Bugs were bad at night, without the lanai, but we fogged before sunset and was fine afterwards. This house is really in the middle of nowhere, or at least it feels like it. I appreciated that, but the kids were not thrilled with the drive to anywhere. It’s peaceful, quiet, beautiful, and spacious. We traveled with two adults, and three teens (15,17,18). The only thing I’d recommend is making the tv situation a little better, only two tvs in whole place, and they were not capable of watching live tv, at least not that we could figure out. Luckily we brought our own PS and was able to watch Netflix as well. It was not a low point for us, but could be for others.

Good property. Quiet neighborhood kind of in the middle of the outskirts of nowhere. Very disappointed by the grill was not functional, nor did it have propane which the grill was unusable. Also, no lanai which was indicated in the pictures. Property manager was prompt with returning phone calls in regards to pool questions.
