Nicole was present and responsive to any needs but otherwise left us to enjoy our time. This is a special rental on a unique escape of an island.

We greatly appreciated her attention to detail in every area of the home. We were close to everything we could want and more. We rented a golf cart from the Lazy Turtle and drove 1 min (easily walkable) to sunrise every morning, got a coffee at Ginny and Janes, and then came home to eat and quietly watch the FOUR manatees in the backyard. (What a treat!) We also loved the indoor/outdoor space and cooked outside a few times on the charcoal grill. This was not our first stay on the island and we both agree it’s the best spot on the island to stay!! Oh I almost forgot! You can rent kayaks and explore the canal in the back where there is light wind and great sun so to extend your tanning hours and explore at the same time! Thank you for having us! We will be back!
