    Just a fantastic place to stay!! The home was spotless, sanitized and extremely welcoming. Every utensil you could need, blankets, cleaning supplies, dishwasher tabs, pots pans and on and on. Truly a home away from home. Great dockage for your boat. We brought a 24 Chaparral and it worked perfectly. Deep water even at low tide to get into the Intracoastal. 13 min boat ride north you’re at Stump Pass. 20 mins south you’re at Gasparilla Sand Bar. The best part of this home is it’s priced at the low end of the scale. Well worth every penny and more. Thank you David in Orlando

    Very convenient for us to arrive by boat or car. I enjoyed my morning coffee on the screened in deck. The host was available and very friendly.

    Easy to forget winter when staying in Tami’s wonderful house on a wonderful island in SW Florida with 75 and Sunny as the consistent daily forecast! House, location, weather and communication with Tami were wonderful. Being there so soon after Hurricane Ian was a concern I had. Happy to say that the house is so well built that it had very little damage compared to so many other homes I saw on and off the island. Very comfortable, clean and up to date. Thank you Tami! I hope I will be able to return next winter. I look forward to seeing the landscape redo! Terrence

    Once we were on the island, you could not tell it was spring break on the the mainland... the beaches and water way were wide open and quiet, and no traffic. We loved seeing the dolphins and fishing off the dock. Per the home owner, we could use any of the many numbered “private beach” access points along the island that are for island homeowners. It was a very short and enjoyable golf card ride to the beach or out for ice cream everyday. Just tell the guys at the resort gate you are trying to get to coconuts or the restaurant, and they will point you in the right direction. We added a book of ferry passes to our stay (the more you buy the cheaper they get) so the teens could come and go back to civilization as much as they pleased. The whole property was such a comfy, casual, relaxing chunk of fresh air, we voted it one of the best vacations in years. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us, Tami!

    Our #1 priority was the pier. It was new and lit. There was water and electricity at the pier. Very happy with the pier. It was a short boat ride to the marina. The house was clean and as described. Only disappointment was the view. It was almost “commercial”. But our priority was the pier facility. Including the golf cart was huge. It was a walk to the pier and the golf cart was very helpful. Also used the golf cart every day to go to the beach. Also used it for “rides” around the island. All in all we were happy with our stay.
