I have spent many years on the river staying at a house of a friend. This year we had to rent and my number one thing is that the house had to be on the river not in a Cove. From the outside when we pulled up it reminded me of the older house that was once all over the river but once we went inside we were surprised. It appears to be a resent remodel with everything you need for your stay. Every this was clean and fresh outside was also neat and very well kept. Washer, Dryer, Grill, and a very nice deck for people watching.
Manatee regularly visit near the deck and it is a wonderful place to swim.
Only complaint I have and it could be just me but I wish it had a set of steps to the water for aging people. The people next door was nice enough to let us use theirs though.
All in all a very relaxing vacation home away from home.
