Great Time!
I should say first, this was the year of rain and the mosquitoes were intense. Definitely bring bug spray (lots of it!!)! The home was as described! It had everything you need for your stay! Just bring your food, cloths and family you will be good to go! Great air conditioning, comfortable beds and all of our crew was more than comfortable. The kids loved taking the kayaks in the canal/bay. The owner was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Thanks so much for sharing your home!

Awesome place to stay
Overall very cool place. Went down for qa fishing trip and we were not disappointed, we were able to fish sun up to sun down and were constantly on fish. My one complaint is that it was a bit of a drive if we needed to go back into town bit thats a very minor complaint

Fun for kids!
This is a great house for older kids! Our youngest is 5 and oldest 13. The kayaks were a big hit. There were enough for everyone to get out on the water in a safe area. Plenty of life jackets for sizing. The bikes and skateboards would have been great but they all had wheel problems. There was still plenty of stuff to keep everyone entertained. The house is beautiful and laid out nicely. The kitchen was well stocked to cook. It was clean. The beds weren’t the most comfortable but they were ok. We thoroughly enjoyed the outside patio and decks. They were large with lots of sitting areas. The house was perfect for our family!

We loved this house! Great location with access to fishing, kayaks and close drive to the beach! The AC was a gem during the hot summer.. not all houses have a great AC so that was huge bonus! Kitchen was fully stocked and plenty of beds for 4 adults + 3 kids. Would highly recommend this property :)

Great Stay!
This was our first time staying at a house in the canal and it was so much fun! My kids enjoyed fished off the dock, along with swinging over the water. The location is near Terramar Beach, which is about 25 minutes or so from the Seawall. It was nice to be out of the busy Seawall area, but still only a three minute drive to the beach. The house was older, but we’ll updated and very clean. It was well-appointed and Zim was very responsive and accommodating. If you’re thinking about booking this property, I’d highly recommend doing so! We hope to be back!
