This was our 2nd stay and we will be back. This completely renovated townhome provides a luxurious and relaxing environment. Perfect waterfront location and fantastic Host! Heather was very responsive and provided an extensive list of local resources, restaurants, activities and events in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend this home with all the amenities to everyone! We especially loved taking the golf cart down to the beach, biking and also walking on the path directly across from the property. We look forward to our next visit!
Heather was excellent host and the place is absolutely beautiful. She was always available to help, or answer any of my questions. Everything in the house is new and top notch. You can enjoy morning tea on the deck watching fish jumping in the water ,Delphines swimming by, and listen to birds sinning . Then you can cruise in golf cart to the beach and enjoy slow day just soaking the sun. After the beach day just enjoy nice shower ,get dress and walk just few minutes to next door restaurant that offers amazing dishes and drinks. Ocean Bliss is paradise with touch of luxury. You can spend your day do not much just relax ,or go explore on bikes, kayaks, play tenis, go fishing....Heather gives you opportunity to use lots of goodies in her shed that will keep you busy.I recommend do grocery shopping in Aldi, Walmart, big groceries stores if you are little bit spoiled like me. Otherwise you can get basic necessities in General Dollar or local store near by.in conclusion I love Heather house and everything what it offers. Only one thing that I will probably do is to put window treatment in living room and master bedroom, but that is only thing that I miss otherwise ,it was pleasure to be there.
This was a beautiful three bedroom townhome located right on the bay with beautiful waterfront views. They offer more amenities than any other rental you’ll find in the area. There is something to do for the whole family. The location is great. There are excellent restaurants in the area. Angelo’s seafood restaurant is right next-door. The salty donkey restaurant and Trident restaurant are very good. If you’re a seafood lover, you will not leave disappointed. We also went to Indeblue Indian restaurant in Crawfordville and the food was excellent. You will not regret staying in this beautiful townhome.
Heather was a wonderful host - Very responsive and provided great recommendations! The newly renovated townhome came with everything you need and more! The beds were also very luxurious! We enjoyed the quick drive with the golf cart to Mashes Sands beach just a few miles away. We walked on the path for exercise and also enjoyed both restaurants that were within walking distance. Fishing here is awesome as well as day trips to Apalachicola for shopping and Oysters. We have already booked our next stay!
Seriously don't know where to begin! The host is absolutely spectacular! At the start of our stay I lost wallet (1600.00 cash, and all my IDs, and Credit cards) so you would think this trip was doomed at that point. However, the host went above and beyond all expectations and not only attempted to help look for the wallet, but offered to take my family to dinner. Luckily, I still had access to money, so we still made the best of the situation. Every amenity is top notch, the views are seriously gorgeous, and if you don't want to drive anywhere there is no need to! My family goes on numerous trips a year and this property and host are in our top 2 even with the bad stuff that happened. Kids had a blast riding to the beach in a golf cart, the aquarium was a blast, there id do much stuff to do in the area that you can't do it all in one trip. The best part is, even doing spring break we felt like we were on private beaches because it's not packed at all!
