Summary: This is our second time staying in this house, and it did not disappoint!! We love that there’s plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen is perfectly stocked with items to help us cook all of our meals. The upstairs game room got lots of use by our kids (we had a ping pong tournament!). It was warm enough for us to swim in the river off the dock, and do lots of kayaking, even though the manatees were out in the gulf. We did get lucky enough to have a pair of manatees swim near the dock that we could watch for awhile. This house is absolutely the best vacation spot for our family! We love the location and everything it offers for us. We will be back!!!
