We had the best time at Bev and Len’s piece of paradise! The cottage was so comfortable and had everything we needed, it was perfect for us and our dog. Fishing and watching sunsets on the dock were great and the tiki is beautiful. We loved visiting with Len and Bev every day, we felt so welcomed, we will definitely be back!!
The tiki got a new roof while we were there, so interesting to watch it go on.
The dock has chairs, couches, table, fish cleaning table, live bait well, literally everything!
Finally caught that snook! He’s waiting for the next guest to catch. Hint - use a live pin fish.
We all loved the view from the dock.

We were looking for a low-key, centrally located property,, that we could bring our two rather large dogs, both about 80lbs. This property fit the bill perfectly. We had a relaxing stay and were able take the dogs for multiple walks at Emerson Point and enjoy the local area for small day trips.

Nice weekend stay.

We enjoyed our stay. The host was spot on with check in and check out. Nice clean cottage but FYI the owners are on property. Honestly we never saw them. The Tiki bar is the place to be. If you fish this is the spot, snook everywhere under the dock. We will probably go back with friends.
