Great Water View! It really does feel like you're on top of the water. The house was clean and ready for us. The beds were the most comfortable beds we've had in a vrbo. Well stocked, and the fire pit at the water was a bonus.

Very nice for our two Frenchie's. Big yard. Lots of room to roam. Very nice and quiet. Traffic on the road was very light. not sure if a single vehicle went over 20 MPH. The fishing dock was great. The fishing ... not so much. Did manage to catch some Flounder, Catfish, Croaker, Skates etc. Great Kitchen! Plenty of storage space. Very clean. Would Highly recomend. Thanks Water Winds !!

Could not have been happier with our accommodations. Beth let us know that we would be able to check in early which was so helpful. Views were spectacular, coming from a landlocked state we spent a lot of time outdoors. House was spotless, would definately recommend this property.
