This house is adorable for starters, the host was super friendly. Beds were comfortable, everything was clean, felt fresh and relaxing. Perfect location for swimming with the manatees. My only advice would be to book an extra day! There’s so much to do and see in this lovely area. Thank you so much for having us. && to anyone still reading this you should stop and just book with them already!!! It’s so worth it!!!

Fenced yard for bets with doggie door. My wife wipes everything down where we stay, when she says it's a clean place, it's clean.

This was a great Christmas vacation. The house is spacious with a fenced yard for the pups. It was only 5 minutes to River Ventures where we swam with Manatees! The bed was super soft and comfy. The tvs are roku so u can watch Hulu or whatever. Full kitchen for cooking. No complaints!
