Summary: Katie is an awesome host. The house has everything you could possibly need. Very clean. Property is pretty. Saw gators in the cove and kayaked there. Saw many deer in the vacant field and turkeys. Close to great restaurants and grocery stores. Will definitely return for another stay. Highly recommend.
