We LOVED this incredible home and it was an amazing, magical month —we did not want to leave. Different friends came to visit each week and we spent most of our time in the compound or on the water. And yes, manatees visited us twice!
The outdoor space is magnificent and we lived under the Tiki Hut. There are so many areas that it was never crowded. And the property is very private with hedges and fences.
The Tiki Hut with wireless speakers and TV has a dining table that seats 6 as well as a sofa, loveseat and 2 chairs. The 8-hole putting green was lots of fun. The fire pit with 6 chairs was a great place to hang out and the hammock was nice for a nap. We used the propane BBQ grill near the pool every night.
The pool with chairs was beautiful, especially with the colored fountains at night. But the focal point was the view from the large L-shaped end of the canal that allowed us an expansive area with an unobstructed view up the canal. We rented a 24 ft. boat for the month and the dock was plenty long. The fish cleaning station was great. The floating Jet Ski dock allowed us to easily launch the two tandem kayaks that are on the property, as well as our paddle boards that we brought.
The very kind owners met us and showed us around and how to work the pool fountains and the location of the remotes, etc. and they graciously provided 12 pack of TP, paper towels, 12 bar soaps, dishwashing and laundry tablets. Plenty of bath and beach towels too! So helpful! Publix grocer
