Bay front 2.5 Private Oasis with Gameroom

Absolutely beautiful! My family had the best time relaxing! The pictures don’t do the place justice. Mike and Rebeca place was the perfect relaxation spot. Our 13, 10, 5 and 4 had the time of their life out there! From the pool to the kayaks. Cooking was a breeze! Just the kind of break we needed before baby 5 gets here! Thanks again for hosting us!

Absolutely beautiful!!

We loved our stay and felt so at home. Beautiful property &amp; beautiful views! I highly recommend this property!

We loved our stay and felt so at home.

This property offered, hands-down, our best airbnb experience ... ever. We initially hesitated to choose this property because of the price, but the combination of the property location/beauty, the numerous beds/bathrooms, the peaceful setting next to the water, the wildlife, the access to beaches/Venice/Englewood, and the hosts' responsivity offered an overall experience that exceeded our expectations. All nine of us had plenty of indoor/outdoor space, and the game building was a nice perk. Our original intention was to spend most of our daytime hours at the local beaches, but as the days progressed, a greater portion of our party stayed back at the property to enjoy the pool, games, kayaks, and movies. We appreciated the on-property tortoise and the birds in the back of the lot near the water, and the fire pit reminded us of home. We highly recommend this cottage for any group of people that have disparate interests, and we commend the hosts for their active engagement and support.

We had a great time. It is a beautiful place and great for a family gathering. The pool and game room were awesome.

I have stayed at a lot of Airbnb rentals but this is the first where I truly would love to come back. The description and pictures don't do it justice! It is perfect for families with lots of room to spread out and activities and toys for kids of all ages! There was incredible wildlife and it was so relaxing to just sit by the water. The pool was also perfect! It has a shallow lip that was great for my toddler to play on. I cannot say enough good things about this place, it's just so special. Finally, the hosts were incredibly responsive and proactive in trying to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We are so grateful for an amazing family trip!
