We enjoyed our 3 night stay at Vicky’s place! She was very responsive and went out of her way to help us find a place to fish! The place was comfortable, clean and in a quiet location. We would stay here again! You won’t be disappointed.

Coastal Bay Retreat was perfect for my needs. You can see the water from the outdoor firer pit. Kitchen was good. Property is very close to all types of shopping. Anna Marie Island which has some great beaches and restaurants is just a few miles down the road. I highly recommend you try it out.
