The place really nice with beautiful views! Perfect for a getaway weekend.

Overall, our group had a good stay! 

Pros: The host is very responsive and helpful. The kitchen was stocked with essential cookware and bedrooms were clean. Our group enjoyed the screened seating and swing overlooking the canal. Great grass for the pets! 

Cons: The home is much older than the pictures. Fishing was complicated having to work around the stilts, but not impossible. Kitchen did not have spices (not a deal breaker, but worth noting).

STOP! READ ALL REVIEWS BEFORE RENTING THIS PROPERTY!  
I took lots of photos. If you'd like to see them, email me and I'll send them to you.  
1. The outside STAIRS were rotten. Rails were rotten. The large gaps between the stairs made them extremely dangerous.
2. Many of the walls were bulging from water, hence the MOLD problem.
3. The FLOOR boards were duct-taped down.
4. A SCREEN was missing on the porch. A small child could walk right thru it to the water...a 20ft drop.
5. The SOFA had stains & an odd smell.
6.  The TV on the porch didn't work.
7. There were 2 chaise LOUNGES on the deck & one was broken in two.  
8. The entire area underneath the house was unfinished & treacherous so we avoided it.
9. We were fearful of all DECKING from the amount of visible rotten wood.
*The manager offered to send a handyman (vs a bulldozer).  The property is dangerous.  A very bad accident waiting to happen.  RUN DON'T WALK FROM THIS PROPERTY!

Great place to stay for a couple or small family. I would not recommend more than two-three adults at this property due to the bathroom limitations and overall space. If you’re bringing children or pets, be mindful that this property is not fenced. There is no barrier from the road all the way up to the sliding glass door that serves as the main entrance to the property. We were informed that a door would likely be added to the screened patio leading down the stairs after our stay, but just a fair warning to any and all who might consider renting and should be informed about the safety concern the current situation causes. Overall, nice place. Just be prepared.

Our stay are the beach house was great! When we first got to the beach house, we realized the pier pass was missing. In less than 24 hours Chris had a pier pass delivered to us. The fishing was good at the beach house and on the pier. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.
