You will enjoy the fishing amenities provided. There is a fish-cleaning table with running water on the dock as well as a 55-gallon perforated drum that can be used as a live bait receptacle that lowers into the water.

Located in the Isla del Sol addition, there is access to a private fishing pier that extends into the West Bay and an adjacent estuary that offers fishing and crabbing.

The trip was a success. Even though it rained everyday all day it was a good time. The kids fished all day everyday even in the rain. One disappointment was the fishing lights were not working. It was the only bummer of the trip.
We would definitely rent it again.

The host was quick to respond - even during hurricane clean-up and power outages. The house had plenty of room for all 11 of us and one of the best-equipped kitchens we have had. This is our preferred neighborhood - everything is easily accessible, including the marina & neighborhood supermarket, restaurants, and a park. Beach is less than a 2 min drive and fish from the dock at the house was excellent

We wanted a place to be together for meals, games and just hanging out.
The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious. The kitchen was well equipped. We only had to buy a few supplies that we hadn’t thought to bring. This is a five star home top to bottom.

I can’t explain how much fun we had this weekend! My wife and I took our little one down with some friends this weekend and our stay was nothing less than amazing! Location was great as it is just a short walk to the beach. The house itself was very well taken care of. Everything was organized, easy to locate, and had PLENTY of room for the amount of people we had. The view from the balcony was beautiful every morning in the neighborhood this house is located in. I will absolutely book this place 10 out of 10 times again when I decide to go to the coast! The name actually says it all!

We had plenty room for everyone. My grandson loved his huge room with the bunk beds and tv. All the room were so spacious and beautifully decorated. We loved sitting out in the decks and being able to be walking distance from a beach. It was very peaceful and relaxing there also. We also enjoyed kayaking also. I would definitely recommend this beautiful spot.

The house was perfect for our family getaway. The neighborhood was very peaceful. The house had more than enough room for everyone, including two toddlers! The bunk room was the perfect place for quiet play & naps. Beds were super comfy, bathrooms clean and spacious. The upstairs deck was great for relaxing & watching the sunrise/sunset. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook meals. The property manager was prompt to answer all questions, before & during our stay. Highly recommend this property for families or couples.

We had two families and the space was perfect.The description nailed it. Short walk to the beach, we used the BBQ grill, did some fishing, kayaking, and sat on the deck to just take in the view of the canal and enjoy time together. It was chilly in the evening but comfortable. Not a bad drive to any store you might need or to go downtown, or pleasure pier. Would highly recommend. Kathy, the host was very pleasant to work with and answered any questions I had.

We had a great time at a Reel Good Place with our Family and grandsons at Spring Break this year, We had in our party a total of 6 adults and our 3 grandsons ages 4, 5, and 6 years. This place had plenty of bedrooms and kitchen/dining space for everyone. Lucky for us, the cable TV worked well with access to the cartoon network :). The house was very well equipped including the outdoor shower and outside grill which we used to grill hamburgers one evening.
The beach is a short 3-minute drive or 10-minute walk away.
We will be back!

The house is perfectly located to walk to the beach or bay. We enjoyed the kayak and boogie boards at the house! The kitchen had almost everything we needed, save a few coffee filters. While we found the house relatively clean when we arrived, it seems the home could use a good deep cleaning, mostly walls and sinks. Overall, would book again.

It was everything the advertisement said it was. Check in was easy, nice and roomy took care of our needs in all ways. we had a great time. Easy to get to the beach . Property is well maintained. We will stay again in future vacations.
4.9
This home was beautiful and spacious for a large family. We had 6 adults and 2 children and there was more than enough space for everyone. Plenty of space for everyone to sit inside and outside. The beach access was close by as was a gas station so the perfect location for renting a golf cart. There’s a park a few streets over as well as a marina. The boat ramp was right there. We were disappointed when we realized that there’s a boat on location and the dock was too tall to tie up to so, we hauled our boat 6 hours and ended up never putting it in.. We misunderstood and thought we would be able to dock on location which is not the case but other than that it was a great stay.

Lots of room indoors and out. Enjoyed the drive along the ocean to restaurants and sightseeing. Thank you for a great vacation spot!

Great House
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Reel Good Spot for a four night stay. We had a couple of issues/questions and Kathy addressed them immediately. She was so helpful, a wonderful host. The house was spotless and the kitchen was very well-equipped. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of bath towels and toiletries. We really enjoyed crabbing off the decking downstairs and just sitting and visiting. In the evenings, we loved sitting on the upstairs deck where the breeze was wonderful and the chairs/ rockers so comfortable. We will definitely consider staying there again. Thank you again, Kathy for your helpfulness.

House was clean and spacious with a great view. Fishing was great from the dock at the house and a perfect swimming spot near by.
The green light by the dock was mesmerizing each night watching the fish.
The kitchen was well stocked with cookware so we didn’t have to eat out, great lay out to accommodate all 11 of us. A giant room with bunk beds was perfect for all our kiddos from ages 2 to 8. We’ll definitely consider staying here again in the future if they’ll have us.

Big family get away
We had our grown children, and grandchildren ranging from 19 to 2 months old. We had 14 total with 3 under the age of 3. We had reserved this home because it had enough bedrooms. The house was great and worked fine for our large group. Our 16 year old grandson fished the canal hard but we did not have any luck with fishing and crabbing. Possibly too windy?? The beach is not far with the sand and water being much better then our usual Crystal Beach. The only complaint I had was with 14 people we had 4 washcloths, no dish towels, and no broom or vacuum. I had to buy the wash clothes and dish towels. I have AT&T and not good service. Verizon users were better. I reached out and asked for these items but housekeeping did not come by. It is possible my lack of service was that issue. I would recommend this house to anyone just recommend bringing towels, washcloths, and dish towels. A beautiful property for sure. Thank you for sharing your home with my family.
