Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful Easy Feeling We enjoyed our stay on the house and island. We liked the ease of getting in and out of the water at the canal. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The screen doors tend to slam in a slight breeze unless they are latched. There were also a few cockroaches/bugs in the kitchen and bathroom. ##### Bill C.
