Bertha is an incredibly responsive and accommodating host, and her house is a very lovely, inviting space to spend time in. The bed was incredibly comfortable, as was the large, inviting couch in the lounge.

The back porch area is a wonderful place for a morning coffe, with a view over water and a friendly crowd of Muscovy ducks constantly wandering the neighborhood.

Bertha also provided a very thoughtful, thorough supply of incidental items that are often needed but forgotten when traveling.

If you're in South Florida, you'd have a hard time finding a better "home base" for your trip.
