Nestled right on a canal along the Intracoastal, the location is simply unbeatable—peaceful, scenic, and full of life. We were treated to manatees gliding through the canal every few minutes (yes, really!), which was an unforgettable experience in itself.The home is vibrantly colored and beautifully decorated, with a cheerful, welcoming vibe that instantly puts you in vacation mode. Joann has thought of absolutely everything when it comes to stocking the house—you won’t find yourself missing a single item. Every detail was so well-considered, it felt like stepping into a home, not just a rental.Steve went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. Truly one of the most helpful and kind hosts I’ve ever encountered. Thanks to him, we even got to watch a space launch from the patio—a once-in-a-lifetime kind of moment that none of us will ever forget.And then there’s Sugar Bear—their adorable, sweet dog who might just be the highlight of the trip. Such a lovable addition to the experience!This trip will stay with me forever. It was relaxing, inspiring, and full of joy—all thanks to Steve and Joann’s incredible hospitality. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. If you’re lucky enough to book it, prepare for something truly special.
