Tahiti Style 5 STAR OVER-WATER BUNGALOW + Lake House Blue + YouTube Video's PETS

10/10 Excellent
"Such a vey unique and interesting vacation home. We were pleasantly surprised with the great water pressure, great A/C and all the comforts we thought might be less due to the house being on a dock. The owner suite bed and linens were excellent and comfortable. My adult grandson found the twins bedroom very comfortable and they had the same linens. Plenty of towels and a fully stocked kitchen. The decor was so cool like a mini-museum. Plenty of games and reading material. Our fishing efforts did not pay off but we enjoyed the sunrises, the beautiful birds, gator eyes at night, and the local restaurants. Dean truly thought of everything!"

"We so enjoyed our stay! It fit the whole family with plenty of space that it didn’t feel small and it was very clean. It was a great benefit to be on the canal and that the property was pet friendly. Michelle, the concierge, was fantastic and checked on us in case we needed anything. Mr. Jim, the owner, was quick on responding to any messages and so nice. The neighbors were also nice and very friendly as well as others within the town.
