    This was our first Florida getaway as a couple, and Roy’s place exceeded our expectations. We were looking for something peaceful, private, and romantic—with a pool—and this place delivered. The home, built in 1945, has a charming history (you can read about it inside the home) and was spotlessly clean and well cared for.The kitchen had everything we needed, but the real magic was the outdoor space: the private pool, hot tub, and secluded outdoor shower were our favorite parts. I only used the indoor shower once—every other shower was taken outside. It felt like a luxury space! The outdoor area was bug-free (minus a few harmless lizards), and the pool was clean, warm, and inviting.Our days became a rhythm of breakfast, swimming, showering, outings to nearby beach towns, and ending each evening back in the pool. We barely saw anyone and never even ran into Roy, who lives in the adjoining duplex—it felt like our own hidden retreat.Minor notes: pool heat fades by evening, not all hot tub jets worked, no ceiling fans (but a portable fan helped), and no TVs in the bedrooms. The outdoor shower could use better drainage. But none of that affected our experience.We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to return. It’s the perfect blend of Florida charm, comfort, and privacy!

    Great place to stay close to everything. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. We spend time birdwatching and generally unwinding from our busy lives back home, Roy is a considerable and responsive host.

    What a wonderful time we had! The place was well-kept and perfectly private and secluded for us. We enjoyed time around the pool day and night and the place was super close to all kinds of fun restaurants and activities. We hope to be back. Thanks, Roy!

    My husband and I felt as though we were in our own backyard paradise. Everything was just as advertised. Location was convenient to great restaurants and beautiful sunsets on the bay. Roy was an excellent host! Communication with Roy is easy and pleasant. You do not have to hesitate to ask him for anything and he creates a very private atmosphere. We will return one day and highly recommend!

    My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to relax and have “nothing” to do for a few days when we stumbled on roys place. We had anticipated the trip for months and when we arrived we were not disappointed. Roy’s place was everything we were looking for. We spent most of our time on the linai and pool. The bedroom was comfy and cozy. During our stay Roy was just a text away to help with anything or answer any questions. I would come here again and again.
