Great stay in an awesome fishing cottage right on a canal. Everything we needed was there for us including a very fresh homemade key lime pie compliments of Fred. The cottage was comfortable, with wi-fi, great TV, comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen, fun outdoor deck, cowboy pool, and kayaks. Fred and Karen our hosts were awesome too, they provided some great local food recommendations, a loaf of the best cuban bread in town, and were easy and available to communicate with. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks Fred and Karen!!!

As advertised. A delightful, well appointed place with great character and charm. We used it as a base for spring training games within an hour of the area.
