Caretakers on-site; Since we live so far away (California) we have created a separate entry apartment above the RV garage for my in-laws to stay in while not on the road with a new adventure. They take care of the property for us and may be seen tending to the yard. They are also there to quickly respond to any emergency or if requested can assist you with questions about the area. They do not use the pool, so it is exclusively for your use only.

Please note: This house is in a quiet family neighborhood, please do not inquire if you are planning any parties. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

We do have a boat dock and you are welcome to bring a boat in, however there is no boat lift currently installed, and low tide can bring the water level down to as low as one foot.

Pool: The pool is heated by pumping the water through solar panels that are installed on the roof of the house, the sun heats the panels, which heat the water. This does a good job of heating up the pool in the winter to about 78-83. The temperature does depend on how sunny the weather is and how many days in a row of cloudy weather we have. If we have cold nights and several days in a row with no sun, then the pool temperature will drop. We use a cover to help keep the heat in at night. January is typically the coldest month here and the pool will be around 78 on average in January. It has been as low as 73 and as warm as 80 in January.
Water temps in the winter: (max heat setting is 85)
November average is 81, highest 85, lowest 75
December average is 80, highest 83, lowest 75
January average is 78, highest 80, lowest 73
February average is 82, highest 85, lowest 76
Any other time of the year the pool is kept around 83.

Check-in time is 3pm (an early check-in may be available if we do not have back-to-back guests, please enquire within two weeks of arrival date)

We had a very relaxing stay at this beautiful property. The house was clean with plenty of room to move around and the master bedroom suite was very comfortable. We slept extremely well. Susan was very easy to work with and made sure we had everything we needed. Our favorite place to hang out was on the dock overlooking the canal. It was very peaceful. We never knew what we might see next, from dolphins to herons to sea otters. My favorite visitors were the iguanas. Whenever it was sunny they would come out to the dock to visit. Overall we would definitely recommend this beautiful house on the canal. We hope to come back some day for a visit! Thanks Susan and family for everything!

We were able to make this our base of operations for my sister and I and our spouses to spend the holidays near our parents. This home provided a great home base for visiting friends and family, and the peaceful backyard was perfect for the occasional “alone time” escape.

We’re were busy everyday with a schedule of sports for our son to play in American Youth Football championship and it was so nice to have a relaxing quiet place to stay to feel like home. The house was amazing and the Host was even better. We noticed something was missing for the game console and immediately soon letting the Host know she purchased new ones and had them shipped immediately. My son was so impressed he only had to wait a day and he said “ that’s really nice of her” when I let him know what she did. My only hope is I get to go back for an actual vacation.

This property is really nice with plenty of space for a large group. The Master Bedroom is huge and the Bed was very comfortable also the Walk-in-Shower was very large with a Bench to sit down on if needed. The property is kind of far away from activities but wasn't a problem for us and there's a Publix store right down the street and plenty of Restaurants around. Susan the Host was very accommodating and easy to contact and even let us stay one extra night.
