    The location was great. Being on the canal sure added to the appeal. The house was quite accommodating. We were happy to have our dog also.

    Host was welcoming and answered questions immediately. The place was beautiful and cozy. Nothing more relaxing than a warm sea breeze and canal front on two sides of the home. Location was perfect; not far from Mom. Enjoyed sunsets every night!

    Whether we were sitting outside enjoying the view or sitting inside watching something on Netflix, we were relaxing. Loved the openness of the main living area. I could prepare a meal while still be included in the conversation. Communication with our hosts was always handled in a timely fashion. I do miss my bird friends. They gave me the opportunity to capture some nest photos.

    We loved staying at the mermaid house. In the morning we sat on the blue bar stools reading our Bible. Every morning there was an egret, great Blue heron, and an anhingha. The fish were jumping, too. The place was very comfortable and well equipped. The owners were very responsive to questions. Couldn’t ask for more.

    We were in town for a wedding. Great location, convenient to everything. Didn't get to enjoy all of the amenities of the house due to weather and time constraints, but hope to stay here again in the future. Communication with management was excellent. Overall a good experience.

    Lovely house. Very comfortable and well stocked. Really enjoyed the swim spa. I'm recovering from a broken shoulder and shattered patella and bought some foam water weights to do PT in the spa. So much more fun in the water.
