This charming and quirky rental is just as described. Old Florida charm, and the location is excellent: right on the bay, next to a lovely little park, and close to the downtown action. Will stay there again!
Standing at the edge of the bay looking toward the rental entrance.
Walking from the rental across the park toward O'Maddy's, great food and happy hour spot.
A walk on the pier for a beautiful sunset.
