We are locals trying to avoid the crazy holiday overcrowding in airports. So had the idea of staying local but still feel like we are on vacation. Came across this unique property and booked it. Well let me say it was even more beautiful than the pictures. It was rustic on the outside but once you opened the front door it was a beautiful, charming, modern retro chic on the inside. Very unique decor with lots to do indoors. We had family come over and spend the day with the teen birthday girl and have pizza and cake. Both young and old had so much fun playing pool, darts etc. And not to mention that blast from the past arcade gaming system! Unfortunately we did not get a chance to do much outdoors because of the weather, but we had so much indoors to keep us entertained. The master bathroom was a great feature. Make sure you have a long relaxing soak. Also coffee/drinks on the back terrace is a must. So serene and relaxing. We saw friendly neighbors waving while kayaking by now and then and said they sighted manatees! Frank remained in contact with us but was never intrusive. It was reassuring to know that he was always available in case we needed help with anything. This place is a treasure!
