Serene house on the bay - great views and access to nature

We loved our stay at the house. We loved watching the sunrise and sunset views of the bay each day and the lovely bike path / walking trail just outside was great with our dog. The house was clean and the host was so kind. I would definitely recommend it.

The perfect home for a family fishing trip. Spacious and well maintained with lots of space for everyone. Fishing from the dock was excellent and local parks and beaches are perfect for nature lovers. I expect to book again next summer.

Wonderful House

This house is immaculate and well stocked. It’s roomy and in a great location. The owner has thought of everything to make a stay here enjoyable. We are bird watchers. The location is not too far from St. Marks, a wonderful bird watching site. In the morning we’d go out bird watching and come back to the house and enjoy the sunroom. The owner responds to questions very quickly. This is a wonderful rental.

Absolutely Amazing

This property exceeded my expectations in every way! Not only was it so dog friendly but it was so well decorated and prepared for renters! Every cabinet and drawer was labeled. It was so well organized with no detail overlooked. The dock was incredible and the sunset views could not be beat! The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were well appointed. The laundry room provided extra space to store items when not in use. The closets were huge! And the Jack and Jill bathroom made sharing easy. There is not one negative thing I could say. (Except we wanted to tidy up a bit more but couldn’t find a broom). I cannot wait to return. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

The perfect week!

We wanted a waterfront location near a beach and right on the area’s bike paths. This house was the perfect location. And the house itself was so cozy and comfortable! Very nicely decorated and it had everything we needed along with several unexpected nice touches, like the sound machines in every bedroom and luggage racks in the bedrooms. We loved spending time in the sunroom just enjoying the view as we drank our coffee. We hope to return to this house again and again!
