Beautiful view

My family had the pleasure of staying at this property. The house is spacious and very clean. The mattresses are on the firm side. The location is very convenient to everything. The dock was our favorite part. Very serene and you could fish right off the dock.

This waterfront home with an attractive floor plan makes a great base for family activities. The area was hit with two hurricanes in October; we were impressed with the level of restoration that has been done in 2 months. Mark was very responsive to our questions.

Wonderful home away from home

The house was clean, cozy and big! They have everything you need to make your stay very pleasant. Outback is a dock where you can fish or just watch the sun setting. We used their grill and had some family members come over for dinner. All the stores are conveniently nearby. Our flight got in sooner than expected and Mark was so kind to let us in a few hours ahead. We would definitely stay here again.
