Summary: We loved the house, the location was fantastic. Close to everything. Very short walk to the beach. We rented bikes to ride to Bridge street etc. We really enjoyed the private dock. We saw a manatee under the dock. Plenty of room for larger groups. Everything you need for cooking and grilling is there. There was some beach equipment available as well. If I could change one thing it would be the scratchy sheets but overall we really loved the property and would definitely stay again.
