We really enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean and we even caught 6 crabs when we used their crab trap. Plus we saw dolphins while we went kayaking!!!! Would definitely recommend

We had a wonderful stay. The property was exactly as pictured,clean,comfortable and well equipped. The dock provided some amazing fishing. We caught redfish,sea trout, flounder, sheepshead, and even reeled in a few sharks. We even had luck using the provided crab trap. Although Hurricane Isaias shortened our stay,Beverly at Young's Suncoast was incredibly helpful and proactive keeping us updated. We even had the opportunity to meet the owner which made our stay feel even more personal. We loved our time here and are already planning to come back!

Great little hideaway for our annual guys’ fishing weekend. The place was quiet and tucked away enough that it actually felt like we got away from everything. Plenty of fish around, and the deck and dock were excellent , we spent most of the time right there with lines in the water. The house itself was priced fairly and gave us exactly the kind of easy, low-key relaxation we needed. No frills, just a solid spot to fish, cook, and hang out. Would book it again for the next trip.For the fisherman reading this we caught Reds, White Trout, Drum, Sail Cats , Sharks, and flounders.

The property was just like the photos on the website. The bedroom master suite was spacious and so was the bathroom the other bedroom and bathroom were big enough. Kitchen and living space was great as well as the outdoor space and pier. Close enough to restaurants. The only complaint was the stairs because my husband is 81 years and I am 77. Next time we will look for something with less stairs. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay. We would recommend Young’s Suncoast Realty and we would rent with them again.
