We, three adults and four children, checked into Casa del Sol vacation home July 2018. The home was clean with a fully stocked kitchen (basic spices and plenty of utensils - pots, pans, dishes). Additionally, there were plenty of linens for extra bedding and towels, which came in handy during our water adventures.
When we weren’t exploring the local attractions, we enjoyed reading books in the hammock swings and nature watching from the three decks - one atop with terrific views of the gulf and natural hammock of trees, another at ground level to view into the natural landscape across the canal, and a floating dock that allows the viewer to almost step into the wildlife estuary surrounding the home.
The children enjoyed greeting a family of ducks, including ducklings each morning and delighted in watching the turtles and fish throughout the day as the dock rose and fell with the tides. The adults spent late evenings viewing and listening for wildlife on the rooftop deck which yielded amazing experiences as we heard wild hogs, owls and other predators going about their nightly business. Amazing!
We spent a couple of days visiting the local fresh water springs at Three Sisters. The kids thoroughly enjoyed swimming, hiking and riding the trolley.
The home is located near restaurants and grocery stores. Within walking distance of the home is a seafood restaurant and an ice cream parlor.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return as we didn’t have a chance to visit all of the attractions and activities available, yet.
If you enjoy kayaking or paddle boarding, the dock is set up to easily put in and take out your gear. The home offers equipment as well if you did not bring your own.
