Summary: Absolutely amazing stay!! We were looking for a quieter place with beach access and this was PERFECT! We loved the short walk to the beach, the screened in porch, and of course watching the amazing sunsets and sunrises. Our kids spent hours playing in the sand on the beach while we fished and enjoyed the views. We caught quite a few redfish from the pier and also saw lots of wildlife - manatees, sea turtles, dolphins, and of course the white squirrels as mentioned in the property description! Already working on planning another trip!
