Great stay

Had a wonderful time at this property! Absolutely beautiful house. Huge! Great lanai. Really nice view of the canal but also very private. Garage was stuffed full of things to use. Coolers, shell sifters, bikes, etc. Already planning next trip but will bring more people to fill the house. Owners were great to work with!! All thumbs up for us on this property!!

Relaxed November stay in South Gulf Cove

This is a comfortable, well-equipped property with a warm outdoor pool. Towels and bedding were generously supplied and various bicycles and beach items were available. Some of the fittings and equipment are dated, but generally function ok. The owners are very welcoming and were responsive to the feedback we provided on a couple of issues. It should be noted that we visited not long after Hurricanes Helene and Milton passed through and that the owners and the region as a whole were still in a clean-up/recovery phase.

Extra accommodations for our family gathering.

I rented the property for our son and his 4 children because we did not have room for everyone to sleep at our home. We live nearby, so they had their meals at our place. They were pleased with the accommodations. Linda was quick to respond to my questions and made the process seamless. Very happy with our choice.

Revisit Even Better Than The First

We enjoyed celebrating my husband’s birthday at this nice home. The listing accurately describes the property, we had no problems or issues. The weather was nice enough that we were able to enjoy the pool every day. We will likely book this location again if it’s available on our next trip to FL.

The house was clean and the amenities were great. The pool was very well maintained and towels were provided as stated. However, I recommend the owners replace the mattress in the master bedroom. It was very uncomfortable.

Family Vacation

Our family stayed at this rental from August 17 to 24, 2024. I traveled with my husband, daughter and son inlaw and 2 young granddaughters. This house is absolutely beautiful!! So much room to stretch out and not be on top of one another. We spent sun up to sun down in the pool. The lanai was definitely the highlight of our family vacation. The rental overlooks the canal and we enjoyed fishing from the dock. Every need was met and the house was fully stocked. Our hosts were very accomodating and answered all of our questions prior to our arrival. They even checked in with us during our stay to make sure everything was satisfactory. If I could give more than a 5 star review, I would. Thank you for your hospitality and for sharing your piece of paradise with our family. It truly made our family vacation all the more sweeter. Rachel and Andrew S.

Perfect quick getaway

Very nice accommodations. We really enjoyed the pool and outside hanging by the canal. The bed was very comfortable. Everything was very clean, nice and as advertised actually better. Linda the host was very kind and helpful. There was just two of us for 3 nights and did not utilize a large portion of the house. We plan on returning with family for fall break. There was all kinds of beach gear and pool stuff. The kitchen had all you need to prepare meals. Overall a lovely house and experience.

Great family vacation spot

As a family with 2 boys we loved this house! Our boys hardly left the warm pool- aside from our many trips to the beach at Boca grande. We also loved being able to watch the sunrise each morning and fishing from the dock even if we didn’t catch anything. The house came with almost everything we needed and communication with the host and property management was great and we had no issues while we were there. We love staying in this area and we’re very happy with our stay at this property!
