    Beautiful home...quiet location. 7 manatees live in canal that are very social. House is great layout... pool was a little cold at 72...but manageable. Did need slippers as floors made feet very black? I did wash floors about 10 times. Lots of tile stairs that made me nervous with kids and elder parents. But really enjoyed the layout of this house!
