We have 2 new dogs and needed to prioritize a place that we bring them with us. The property is fenced in, but keep any eye on smaller dogs ( 10lbs) because of natural erosion at the fence line. We also wanted to find a place that wasn't as crowded as the touristy parts of the gulf. This property is just that. You can tell that someone raised a family there -- there is a grand old oak that shades the pool in the afternoon and the porch is really pleasant with excellent views all around. There is a yard along the side for dogs and kids to run. The bedrooms are on each corner with 2 adjacent, so they are fairly private. There is a gate at center back for accessing the bay and there is nice string lighting around the pool for warm nights. It's about a 15 minute drive by land to restaurants, so bring your food down with you so you can just unplug and check out. There is a Big Green Egg by the pool, though we did not use it during our stay. Management has just replaced the pool pump. Laundry, stove/oven, dishwasher, and internet were in good working order and the kitchen is stocked well. There is a public boat ramp nearby, and if you bring your boat, you'll have no trouble getting to a lot of restaurants and shopping across the bay. We met a lot of the locals walking our dogs in the evening around the neighborhood and everyone was very friendly. We plan to return again.
