This was our third straight year at this property and it won’t be our last. Private beach with plentiful ocean life, recreation and a cozy cottage setting. The house is nicely equipped and offers an unreal view of the Gulf…perfect for back porch sunset watching.
SUPER PRIVATE ISLAND. Great location right on the beach. So much wildlife. Good beach. We had a great stay.
We’ve stayed many times at this property and love it. Thanks again!
Beautiful home with breathtaking sunset view! The pictures listed DO NOT do it justice. It was much better than we expected. We loved the kayaks and the downstairs deck, which is steps from the water. The water is very shallow but still enjoyable. We did use water shoes which I highly recommend because of lots of sting rays and occasional rocks. We were amazed at all the wildlife! Birds of all kinds, dolphins, terrapins, frogs, lizards, lots of different fish and sting rays. We even saw a sea turtle! The house was fully stocked with linens and basics like TP, trash bags, dish soap, etc. Beds were comfy, washer/dryer worked well, propane grill, and the showers were great. The AC did stop working one day but someone was there to fix it within a couple of hours. Highly recommend! We would definitely stay here again!
Wild life galore!!! Kayaking at it’s best! Sun sets were spectacular! Water was not very deep but was perfect for our littles. The house was well stocked, very clean and was as advertised.
Once again, we have fully enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back in the future! Just a couple things- the house wasn’t very clean this time. A lot of dust and sand. The beautiful screened in porch is becoming quite weathered. Chipping paint and broken screen allowed many biting bugs into the enclosed area. Hopefully this will all be addressed, as this is our favorite place to visit. All in all, still a fine rental. Thanks again!!
Overall, we really liked the location and condition of this property! There are just a few things that could be improved.....the bedding could use an upgrade (maybe put a mattress pad over the mattress topper to make it more comfortable), inventory the kitchen utensils/dishes and add more as well as clean/organize the cupboards and maybe add a dehumidifier to help with the musty smell in the house. And lastly, the neighbor behind the property had several dogs which barked constantly....not sure what could be done about that but it was disturbing. But we loved being right on the water and especially enjoyed the porch and outside deck area!
The view from the cottage is spectacular! Woke up every morning looking forward to it! That alone made our stay worth it! The cottage itself was also beautiful! There was so much room and furnishings were so nice. We would definitely stay here again. There were, however, some negatives. The screened in porch was pretty dirty-all the woodwork was covered in tiny dead bugs and dirt! Looks like it hadn’t been touched in a long time. The ice maker in the fridge was coated with white powder-totally unusable. Also, it would have been nice if we had been informed that there was construction across the road-every single day! A loud generator ran 24/7! The private beach was very nice but most of it was covered in dead seaweed-would have been nice if it had been raked. We talked to the caretaker once on the phone, but never saw him. All in all, it was beautiful (except for a few things). We loved the location and would definitely rent again!
This is a cozy house right on the beach. Had everything we needed. We would rent this house again if we ever get the chance. We enjoyed our stay. It was clean. Location was good.
The most relaxing vacation ever! We spent 90% of our time on the beach….crabs, sting rays, horseshoe crabs, dolphins and fish everywhere. The bottom deck was great for high tide and the beach was literally five steps away at low tide. We would recommend one trip to Crystal River to kayak around the springs and swim with Manatees….other than that….there is nothing worth leaving this awesome place. Our teenage daughter loved kayaking out to the dolphins….they literally swam under her kayak.
