Unique Benefits
Our back patio is relaxing with beautiful sunrises every morning and afternoon shade. Our dock can accommodate up to a 40 foot boat and we are minutes away from the Vaca Cut, allowing you the option of boating on the Bay or the Atlantic.
Guest have caught huge fish right off our dock. We have a fish cleaning station and bait freezer for our serious anglers.
Why Kids Love It
Your kids will have a ball fishing right off our dock day and night, because we are on the widest, deepest canal, there are tons of fish. We have seen manatees right off the dock. Tarpon feed all morning and night. Bring your own boat or have one delivered to the dock. We also have companies that rent kayaks that will deliver them to our dock. we are a half of block from the City Park which has a new playground for the kids along with pickleball, basketball, and bocce ball courts. The Island is very kid friendly, with a jogging/rollerblade track around our street and throughout the Island.

Canal, boat dock, Cabana Club
We have been coming to Steve Barnett's homes (now one of his daughters has the duplex) for many years. It's the only place or places we stay. Would highly recommend both. Steve's canal front home is clean, convenient and within walking distance to the Cabana Club. We don't fish, have a boat and there's only two of us but this rental can't be beat. We absolutely love it and Steve is always a phone call away and answers asap. Would highly recommend it, you can't go wrong.

"Thank you, Leslie for the glowing review. It is always a pleasure to have you and Doug at our canal property or my daughter Laurie's oceanview. You have been loyal guests and always leave the properties in phenomenal condition. Thanks for taking the time to submit that review."
Marie D.Amazing location, super clean and comfortable with the best host!
Steve was super gracious with our check in/out times and dates. Checked to be sure everything was ok at the beginning and end of the rental period. This 2BR, 2BA is much larger than the pics show! Super quiet and a lovely spot on the widest canal. We fished there a LOT, saw manatees and the tarpon kept teasing us! We loved this area and will definitely rent from the Barnette's again!
