Please note: We have 3 outdoor video surveillance cameras for security purposes only. We have a camera on the boathouse/driveway. We have a camera on our boat at the dock (boat only not on dock area). Signs are posted in these areas.

Our house is located at the end of our sand road/easement. Though our house is in a secluded area, please remember this area is recovering from Hurricane Michael. Where houses once stood you may see campers. I assure you this area is still absolutely beautiful and is making progress in their recovery efforts every day.

We enjoyed eveything the place had to offer! Our favorite part was the private dock and spacious rooms! Kitchen and rooms had everything we needed for our short reason to escape:)We will definitely be back soon!
I can’t say enough about this house and location. We were able to bring our boat and go fish in the bay all while being less than 10 minutes from the beach. The seclusion is awesome, the house is spacious and has everything you may need. We will definitely be back many many times!
The property had well kept grounds a private deck in the canal and the seclusion of the lot was great house was clean and everything worked properly. Only thing I would recommend to owners is a fish cleaning station outside somewhere thanks !
Short drive to beach for sunrise and fishing about 10 o'clock back to house in and out house to dock eats and drinks till 4 o'clock back to beach till sunset 🌇 house had everything we needed 👍 thanks for sharing your home only one problem should have stayed for 2 weeks
We had a great time while staying in this property! House was clean and worked well for 2 families. The kids loved having a separate spot to hang out. Both bedrooms were large and beds were comfortable.
We really enjoyed our stay here, very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. The house had most everything needed! Wish there was an outdoor hose to clean off with, we didn’t want to track sand inside.
The most important thing i loved was that each bedroom had their own bathroom , I love the area because it was in the country , My fiancé loved the fact they had a pond in the backyard so he went fishing . Great location and communication was excellent. Will definitely book again
House was great. Lots of room. Very clean and well maintained. Quiet neighborhood. Lots privacy. Short drive to the beach/Mexico beach boat ramp. There is another boat ramp right by the house that
Reason to Escape is a great property. Had more than a few concerns when first going to the house (turn down a dirt road between some campers with misc. boats sitting around). However, we met one of the neighbors and no longer had concerns.
The house has a well stocked kitchen. Great selection of pots, pans, utensils, and dishes.
The house has two bedrooms and each has its own bathroom. The addition to the house is where the additional beds are located and this area also has a bathroom. There is a door that can close off this area.
We loved how roomy this house is. The only things we did not love were:
The AC struggled. It was Upper 90's and we set it at 75. It would definitely heat up in the day and took a while to cool down - all doors and curtains were closed.
The refridgerator was not working properly. It took over 24 hours to freeze 16 oz water bottles. After 24 hours, the water bottles in the fridge were barely chilled. Definitely not cold. (We did not overstuff the fridge with "hot" items. Everything except the pack of water was cold and it was room temp).
We ended up loosing some food (Milk and lunch meat) because the fridge was not cold enough.
Contacted owner and they suggested making sure it was pulled out from the wall to get airflow. That did help a little, but still it did not cool down to the proper temp. (We checked it with a high quality infared thermometer).
My advice - Take a Cooler and use it.
Location was amazing. Only 6 miles from beach and restaurants. Not all of our group enjoys the beach equally. Half of the group stayed at the property and fished, and the other half went to the beach.
Our family loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom, so we did not have multiple people waiting on shower. Out of 3 couples we gave the property 6 thumbs up!
Nice quiet location. Quick and easy drive to the beach, but off the beach enough to be able to sit on the porch and relax and enjoy a nice afternoon storm. House is very spacious with everything you will need.
Property was everything as advertised. We had a great time. Short drive to the beach and the fishing dock was excellent! Can’t wait to come back next year.
The house is very clean and spacious! Secluded and quiet. The beach is only 5 minutes away! If you plan to fish definitely bring your boat, house has dock and boat ramp is near house (sadly we were unable to bring our boat). We did wish the house had an ice maker.

Overall the was was good. Although the grass was almost 2 foot tall. Be prepared to smell rotten eggs when showering or using any water. The property is secluded behind some other ran down properties.
