Perfect Place for a Family Weekend

We were in town for a wedding and this was a perfect place for our family to stay. The backyard, patio and games were amazing and the house had everything we needed. Would stay here again.

Family reunion

We’ve rented vacation homes for several years from California to Florida and this was the best one so far. The amenities, rooms, and outdoor green space were great. The hosts were very helpful and accommodating. Definitely stay there again.

Family get together

The eleven of us (4 families) was able to enjoy this house in a quiet neighborhood and see nature first hand out our window. Young fawns, squirrels, doe deer and many song birds. Able to go on the Pelican Breeze 2 boat cruise and the kids were allow to steer the boat. The home had many indoor and outdoor games for our young kids to bond with. The older adults tried out the frisbee golf courses in town and early morning walks or runs. We totally appreciated the host and her touches within the home and the warm feeling of each room. Very large backyard for the kids and adults to try out new sports. The kids greatly enjoyed walking thru the nearby greenhouse for plants to take home with us.

Perfect for large group

We were disappointed that the weather did not cooperate with us riding our motorcycles for the weekend but the cottage and surrounding area provided us with lots of fun and memorable moments for us to cherish.
