Relaxing Carova Beach Retreat
We really enjoyed our stay at Marty's Leap of Faith house on the canals of Carova Beach. The house is very comfortable and well appointed. Water access is better than pictured with a recently dredged canal. The pool and hot tub are great and the house is a quick walk or drive over the dunes to the beach. Lots of fun water toys to explore the canals and we enjoyed a morning fishing charter in which the captain picked us up directly at the dock. Great trip. We're looking forward to planning our return visit.

A break from 6 children
When we were looking for a fun quiet weekend away from homeschooling we found this beautiful property. We were able to stay in all weekend and the fun never ended. October might be too late for the pool but its never too late for their giant hot tub. We very much plan on taking all our homeschoolers for lots of beach fun next year .

Perfect Family Reunion Vacation
Couldn't ask for a better place. The location to the beach and fishing on the lake in the backyard was great. The horses visiting often was a plus. The kids were never board and so much space.

A vacation to remember
It was everything we could want. We had a pool, horses almost every day, paddle boat, paddle boards and kayaks to take out. There was a hot tub that the others enjoyed, I went out every day in the paddle boat and sometimes by myself. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to keep clean. The bedrooms were perfect. We had the beach and then tons of fun in the evenings playing board games. It is a vacation we will never forget. The owner responded to any questions or needs we had. One day I just sent him photos of all the horses in the yard. There is nothing I can say that was negative and hope to someday got back.

What more can you ask for?
Our stay at Leap of Faith was wonderful! There was something for everyone in our group. The amenities at the home went above and beyond our expectations. There was a wide range of indoor activities - pool table, ping pong, numerous board games and puzzles, smart tv’s throughout the house, including a sound bar in the main living area. Outdoor there was the awesome pool that had various floats available, a hot tub, volleyball court, corn hole and a canal where we enjoyed using the kayaks, paddle boards and paddle boat. Our dog even enjoyed a swim in the canal and hopped on a the back of the paddle boat for a ride. The kitchen was stocked and there were plenty of bath towels for everyone. We were in communication with Marty every step of the way - from before we booked until our stay was over. He was quick to answer questions and even provided useful suggestions. We did not need contact him during our stay because we had no issues with the house but he contacted us to ensure we were enjoying our stay and to see if he could provide any assistance with any questions we had. And finally the horses - this property seemed to be one of the horses favorite spots. They visited us daily and hung around for a long time. We even saw one playfully rolling on its back outside the pool area. This is a great place for families or a group of friends.

Perfect mix of fun and relaxation
This property had something for everyone in our large group (16 people)! The kids enjoyed the ping pong, pool table, swimming pool and volleyball, while the adults enjoyed the kayaks, SUP boards, reading nook, rooftop lookout and hot tub. It was a short drive/walk to the beach. We enjoyed daily visits by the wild horses and saw other wildlife as well. The house was clean, spacious and well stocked with basic supplies. The owner of the property was so very welcoming and helpful. We would definitely love to stay here again and highly recommend it to other large groups!
