Probably wouldn't stay here again

There were no extras supplied like toilet paper, paper towels, coffee, or trash bags. There seemed to be no cleaning done before arriving. (dirty floors, bathrooms, and countertops) the downstairs bathroom is not working. In one bathroom upstairs sink and tub don't drain well. Not worth all the extra “cleaning fees” we pay.

This was our second time to stay here. The place was very clean and very comfortable. The canal is full of small fish. And the on demand generator is a great plus.

Very peaceful and quiet.

We enjoyed our week here, the location was very peaceful and quiet. The house overall was lovely, very clean and well managed. We had a little bit of a rough start when we arrived where someone was staying there that we were unaware of but the rest of the week was wonderful. Overall we would stay here again.

Perfect adult getaway!

This lovely home exceeded our expectations. It was spotlessly clean, bright and sunny and tastefully furnished. Kitchen had everything guests could possibly need. Fishing off the large dock was great. The management team at VACASA was efficient and courteous. We definitely recommend this property and plan on staying again in the future.

Great house. Loved the fish cleaning station. And the downstairs lanai. The only thing is that the bottom fitted sheet needed to have deeper pockets. It would not stay on while sleeping

Home away from home

This home was wonderful. It fit our needs perfectly. I was able to relax and read and watch my husband and his brother fish directly off the deck - and they caught fish to eat! Clean, well-kept.
