    It was so wonderful to watch the sunrise in the morning from the dock. Seeing all the different fish around the dock and having the pelicans greet us each morning. The house was warm and inviting. It was a great home base and had all the essentials you need. The beach was a short 4-5 minute walk away. The house came with beach chairs, umbrella and beach cart so it made the short walk even easier. The beach itself is beautiful with crystal clear water. We enjoyed the many restaurants nearby. It was a wonderful vacation and will miss it very much.

    The location of this property my was amazing, loved having our own dock with the sitting area, so nice to sit out and relax with a glass of wine after dinner. Quick walk to the Gulf and close to Bridge Street and the Kokonut Hut. House was exactly as pictured/described, well equipped with everything we needed and bed was comfortable. Property manager was very accessible when we had a question. Would definitely stay again!

    A beautiful & well kept home. Amazing views of the bay just off the back porch and a very short walk to the beach. Interior was beautiful, the beds were comfortable, and all the amenities were there. Highly recommended!!!
