    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fred's Classic fishing cabin. Fred ensured that everything was perfect in this beautifully appointed house. It included everything, including cold beer and Fred's delicious key lime pie. We felt like we were staying in the Keys. Can't wait to go back!

    What an amazing place. The pictures don’t do it enough justice. We loved everything about the place, and the host, Fred, is always available trying to make the stay the best possible. I definitely recommend this place and look forward to staying there again. Thanks for making this place special !

    It was a nice place to stay and very comfortable. Because of the weather, the mosquitoes were bad. We will likely stay there again.
