We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It had all the supplies, in the kitchen, bathrooms, and beach items. Stephan was so easy to talk to and communicated quickly and kindly. We loved being able to bring our chocolate lab. We felt very safe and comfortable. The view is 10/10!! The walk to the beach is easy, but there is an access at the end of the street to park (if spots are available). The only thing I could say is we didn’t have hot water for everyone at once, so coming off the beach we had to wait. I let Stephan know and he handled it. I give this home a 10/10 for a small family, looking for a good view and a friendly owner.

Perfect location for a relaxing week of vacation at the beach. Loved being on the canal with the view of the water. 5 minute walk to the beach. House had everything we needed including a comfy bed. Would definetely recommend.

We had a great second stay at Sandy Paws! Stefan is great and helpful with questions about the house and the area. My girls and husband loved fishing off of the dock, and we all (including our tiny pup) enjoyed kayaking to the sandbar and Serenity Point (though watch the current). Now that the girls can help the walk to the beach is not bad. We took advantage of renting a second kayak and SUP from Surf50 and made our own seafood boil with crabs (can be hard to get) at Lewis’ seafood and multiple pots in the kitchen. As our second visit I did note that I needed to stock up on toiletries, laundry, and kitchen items, but no big deal. And, there are nice new beach chairs in the deck. Overall a great stay despite some rain! Thanks Stefan!

As a TB local, we rented to add time while family was in our place. This should show our fondness with the area, if you want to slow down this is the place. As for the property itself, it is a great location with water access for two boats, & close to the beach if that is what you like. I'll start with the pros for the, plenty of room, great AC, beds are extremely comfortable, & there is most of what you need for cooking & the host is very responsive. The cons are more, the place is worn down & though it has the base of a good property, it is not been maintained well. Everything from the exterior stairs and the walkways to the dock and the landscaping is just given enough attention to function. Beach covered areas under houses & decks are the best place to relax outside to be in the shade and cool off in the island breeze, these are extremely neglected starting with a large evergreen that blocks the million dollar view of the waterway, It could never be used for shade, it's only purpose might be privacy, but that is unlikely as it sits out on the edge of the lot all by itself. The dock is in poor shape a rug was screwed to it instead of replacing the aging boards, the swim ladder is coveres in barnicles, & the hose woas not long enough to reach the dock, there are old timbers and windows leaned up against the house, the outdoor shower is cold only and has no enclosure, there are sand spurs and rat traps in the yard. several pots were dirty, it is way overpriced for what it is
