Summary: Beautiful floating cottage with everything you need provided. The host, Kim, went well above the call of duty. Very informative and answered any questions I had immediately! Connie’s deli behind cottage had great food and super nice servers. But the most amazing part of this vaca was the turtles that greeted us from day 1 and being able to feed them. Also, we were fortunate to see manatees every day we were there!! I highly recommend staying at the Floating Cottage. You will not regret staying here. Thanks again Kim for the hospitality

Summary: The cottage was very clean (except the outdoor grill) and had everything we needed. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware, dishes, utensils, spices and food storage. The location was not ideal, but not terribly bad. We had to drive everywhere but the well equipped cottage made up for it.

Summary: This houseboat was spectacular! Our little family of 4 stayed very comfortably and managed to even cook our Thanksgiving dinner in its full-size kitchen with every utensil imaginable. Kim’s communication is superior and like no other. It was comforting to know that she has thought of everything. Our daughter absolutely loved feeding the turtles too. Many beautiful memories were created and we’re grateful for the experience.
