Two nice beaches close and several nice restaurants with reasonable menu. We chartered a tour boat and there were boats available for snorkeling with manatees. Small shops for those interested in shopping. Weeki Wachee also close for children.

Host was welcoming. Canal view was great. Quite most of the time although a lot of construction noise due to rebuilding from hurricane damage. Minor TV issues but host worked throughout the issue.
