Renter Beware
Essentially the enclosed space of a "stilt-house". Very cramped, especially the bath tub/comode/sink. Had no dining table, only 4 elevated bar chairs for a short counter. Communication with host did not begin well: aside from the entry code and WiFi password, greeting message was a litany of threatened "fines", including trying to pass responsibility for an inadequate septic tank ($200 "fine" if it clogged). Would not recommend this property or others of his ownership.

The bed is very noisy. Not sure why and the dog that was upstairs barked for hours one night. Other than that, it was as described.

Peacefulness
My parents and my wife’s parents have stayed at Gary’s places several times and they really enjoy the locations on the river. Staying on the river is peaceful and just the right spot. The homes/rooms are always clean and you have what you need even for an extended stay.

Girl's Vacation
Restful, relaxing and we loved the swing on the deck. Right on the river, the view was lovely. Nearby restaurants were delicious. We can highly recommend Joia, described as a pizza and martini restaurant. The ravioli and salad was very good and the chocotini was wonderful. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful.

River Charm
River Charm lived up to its name. We had morning coffee outside in the lanai every morning. Watched the sunrise, the Pelicans fish and so many other birds to watch. Location was perfect for us. Less than 10 minutes, by back roads, to our daughter in Riverview. Great stay and perfect spot for us.
