Enjoyed our stay, property is away from the traffic and Florida madness. You can eat at a number of places locally and a short ride to a great viewing area of the manatees.

Clean, comfortable, all the extras we needed. Loved using the boat and enjoyed the backyard. Fred and Karen are excellent hosts. We will be back!

Very quaint cottage with great atmosphere- much more than the "a fishing cabin". Ample outdoor patio(s) and direct access to the canal with an osprey family 100 ft away. Well appointed and complete with everything needed. Just bring shorts, a tee shirt. Everything else is there already, including herbs and tomatoe plants. Very nice market down the street for food and beverage- "Publix". We came for the boats, bikes, access to water and avoidance of traffic. Everything is within a few miles: Bahai beach on the bay; nature preserve hike with a wide array of birds and boars! (they are more scared of you tho'). Local, off the beaten path fish houses are near by. Fred is a great and attentive host. Very willing to serve and help out. He is always available if needed and is not a hovering property owner even tho' he lives near by. We will certainly be considering this property again! Cheers, Ed and Janise, State College, PA.

The cabin is located in a quiet "old Florida" area with easy access to sites as well as nature to explore. Fred is a great wealth of knowledge for your stay and a well versed generational Floridian. Lots of options available to get out on the water and the host was super accommodating . The "cabin" is very comfortable and we've stayed in a number of places on the gulf and for that mater around the globe and this one is really well appointed.

The cottage was clean, well furnished and stocked with all the necessities to make for a comfortable stay. Fred was available to answer questions and give recommendations and advice. My son and I are planning to return next year for another fishing trip.

Seeing the dolphins from the dock was amazing.

Rather last minute, we were seeking a place to work remotely while assisting aging parents. To fit a couple of vacation days in was a bonus. This cottage is in a great location - the backyard IS the water. It has been outfitted with everything you could need to make it feel homey. There is plenty of space, a full kitchen and a great backyard with fire pit. Kayaks, jet skis, canoes and boats are all available and the location is perfect for fishing trips. The property owner is available, helpful and kind. Overall, a wonderful trip. We will be back!

Super nice vintage Old Florida vibe. Small town but with beaches! Coming from rural KY and the quietness and low key atmosphere was exactly what we wanted! Fred was a wonderful host and bent over backward to provide us with all that we requested. Great story teller as well! Osprey nest perched right at the back of the house across the canal was a real treat along with all the fish that would just suddenly jump out of the water. We also enjoyed the company of the anole lizards when they would peek from the shrubbery on the back covered patio. Such a nice relaxing place to have vacationed for a week! Fish House and The Lazy Gator are a must for dining options. Both located within a couple blocks of the house. Never came across one unpleasant encounter or person! Will definitely consider another visit in the future!
