We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location was perfect, in a quiet residential area but with a choice of supermarkets within a few minutes drive and plenty of restaurants nearby.
The house itself was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Everything
we could possibly need to make our stay more enjoyable had been thought of giving it a real ‘home-from-home’ feel. We particularly made use of the cooler bag on wheels and the beach chairs which came in very handy for both trips to the beach and days out at the State Parks. The backyard was ideal and had a really relaxing feel, perfect for enjoying breakfast outside.
The State Park Pass that came with the house was a big bonus and we made use of this on many occasions including at Delnor Wiggins, Lovers Key and Fakahatchee Strand. There was loads of information on places to visit and recommendations of restaurants both in the house itself and from the owners prior to our trip. This really helped in planning our days out and choosing good restaurants on the nights we did eat out.
Delnor Wiggins State Park was only around a mile away and had the most beautiful beach as well as plenty of wildlife to watch including raccoons, tortoises, osprey, pelicans and dolphins. The house was ideally situated for visiting many of the State Parks in the Everglades and we were lucky enough to see a really diverse range of wildlife including numerous alligators, a barred owl, moccasin snake (& plenty of other snakes too!), a bald eagle, too many different wading birds to list and panther footprints in our visits to the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, Bird Rookery and Picayune State Park which were all only around 30 minutes drive away.
Having such a great base really made the holiday for us and we would definitely stay there again. Highly recommended if you want a comfortable house in a nice, quiet location with easy access to both amenities and great places to relax and explore.
