overall, I enjoyed staying here
My friends and my wife from Nova Scotia stayed here for 11 days and found that the place was excellent. Fred and Karen have created a very cozy and comfortable place to chill out and relax, great spot to do some fishing as well as see many of the tourist attractions in the Tampa area. Fred was very helpful and we cannot say enough good things a out him, he helped make a our fishing trips a success. We really appreciated all the little things he did while we were there and really enjoyed our visit. THANKS FRED AND KAREN!!! Looking forward to a return visit.
What a great place and Fred and Karen are wonderful hosts. Comfortable, clean, quiet and safe neighborhood. We enjoyed relaxing at the beaches.- Apollo, Clearwater, Bradenton, or just down the street! The backyard is relaxing too!!! Great walking area with a nature park down the road. Our two months here is just what we needed!!
Fred was great, conveniently next door to help with any request or needs.
I loved this adorable home ! Super location lots of activities to do right there ! We went a mile down the road for the Manatee sunset cruise a must if you have time ! Will definitely be back Fred is a wonderful host !!
We enjoyed this charming, fully equipped house. Fred was very helpful and we had absolutely everything we needed. I particularly appreciated the coffee station.
Enjoyed our stay, property is away from the traffic and Florida madness. You can eat at a number of places locally and a short ride to a great viewing area of the manatees.
Clean, comfortable, all the extras we needed. Loved using the boat and enjoyed the backyard. Fred and Karen are excellent hosts. We will be back!
Very quaint cottage with great atmosphere- much more than the a fishing cabin. Ample outdoor patio(s) and direct access to the canal with an osprey family 100 ft away. Well appointed and complete with everything needed. Just bring shorts, a tee shirt. Everything else is there already, including herbs and tomatoe plants. Very nice market down the street for food and beverage- Publix. We came for the boats, bikes, access to water and avoidance of traffic. Everything is within a few miles: Bahai beach on the bay; nature preserve hike with a wide array of birds and boars! (they are more scared of you tho'). Local, off the beaten path fish houses are near by. Fred is a great and attentive host. Very willing to serve and help out. He is always available if needed and is not a hovering property owner even tho' he lives near by. We will certainly be considering this property again! Cheers, Ed and Janise, State College, PA.
The cabin is located in a quiet old Florida area with easy access to sites as well as nature to explore. Fred is a great wealth of knowledge for your stay and a well versed generational Floridian. Lots of options available to get out on the water and the host was super accommodating . The cabin is very comfortable and we've stayed in a number of places on the gulf and for that mater around the globe and this one is really well appointed.
