We had such a wonderful stay here! There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and feel comfortable, which made it especially relaxing. One of our favorite parts was watching dolphins right from the river view — such a special and peaceful experience. The setting was incredibly quiet and serene, making it the perfect place to unwind. We would absolutely stay here again!

Very nice! Could've been a bit cleaner, but overall it was worth it. Also there were a couple of pet stains in one of the bedrooms and on the stairs. Water damage coming from the upstairs bathroom, leaking through the floor onto the other stairs. This should be addressed sooner than later. I would stay here again, as it was beautiful.
Lorica P - Posted: 9/12/2025
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback, it really helps us keep improving 💛. I just wanted to let you know that everything you mentioned has already been taken care of ✅.

My family and I thourougly enjoyed the views of the water that the home provided and the kids LOVED chasing all the little crabs in the back by the dock. The dock was great for fishing but I found it misleading as to whether you can dock a boat there. We brought a boat and we’re unable to keep it at the house because of the tide which was not a part of the information in the house and would have been helpful being that we had to find a marina to accommodate us last minute on a holiday weekend and drive to and from the boat each day. BUT I should have also asked about boat access and I did not. The upstairs shower has old soaps and scum in it and my toddler niece found old food under the couch and the outdoor spaces did not appear to have been cleaned recently. The indoor spaces accommodated are family well but I think the bathrooms and entry ways need rugs to keep down the spread of dirt in the home. Overall we had a great time and would visit again if we don’t need our boat!
Lindsay W - Posted: 6/11/2025
Hi Lindsay, Thank you for your detailed feedback, and we’re so glad to hear that your family enjoyed the views of the water and the fun moments by the dock! It’s wonderful to know the kids loved chasing the little crabs, and that the home provided a relaxing environment for your family getaway. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience regarding the boat dock. While it’s primarily intended for fishing and enjoying the canal views, we understand how additional details about its suitability for docking a boat could have been helpful. We’ll clarify this in our listing to ensure future guests have the right expectations. We also take cleanliness very seriously, and we regret that the home did not meet your expectations in certain areas. We have shared your comments with our cleaning team and will address these concerns immediately to maintain the highest standards. Additionally, we’ll consider your suggestion about adding rugs to entryways to minimize dirt tracking. Thank you again for bringing these points to our attention, your feedback helps us improve. We’re thrilled that you had a great time overall and would love to host you again in the future. If your travels bring you back to the area, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

You really can't beat the views and porches of this house!! We stayed for a week here as a mixed group of families and the house was a perfect layout for us, everyone got their own private space, and when the kids went to bed, the outdoor kitchen was a huge plus for the adults. The only small issue was for us who stayed in the top bedroom, as it only has white shades, no darkening curtains, so it got bright in there early morning. But the balcony and loft area, more than made up for it. (Be mindful, there's alot of stairs too) The personal deck was fun for fishing and we even saw dolphins twice! Would definitely stay here again.
Holly L - Posted: 4/19/2025
Thank you so much for the wonderful and detailed review! 😊 I’m so glad the house layout worked well for your group and that everyone had their own space to relax—especially with the kids enjoying their time and the adults making the most of the outdoor kitchen! 🍽️🌅 I really appreciate you pointing out the early morning brightness in the top bedroom—I’ll definitely look into adding blackout curtains to make it even more comfortable for future guests. And yes, those stairs are no joke, but it sounds like the views, balconies, and that surprise visit from the dolphins made it all worth it! 🐬🎣 So happy to hear you’d stay again—I'd absolutely love to host you all anytime! 💛🏡 Staylah
