JuliHouse was great and was spotless upon arrival. Positives: loved the back porch and used the pool daily! The pool was always a perfectly cool temp even with over 100 degree temps! Loved fishing every night off the dock (watch those catfish barbs!). We saw so many animals in water off the dock at night: baby hermit crabs (under dock at night), crabs, stingrays, mullet, more catfish than we could count! Dolphins came to visit almost every morning! Negative: bedroom with bunks should be listed as for small children only and top bunk is very shaky (we were unable to use). Bath towels: get exactly the amount for how many people u say r coming (fyi). Beach towels: bring ur own, theirs r old and tiny. ROAD NOISE: if u want to sit on porch in peaceful silence this is not the house.

RebeccaWe truly enjoyed our trip and were certainly CHEERFUL all week. The house is clean, comfortable, and close to everything. The pool was crystal clear, and we enjoyed floating in it every day. Communication with Jeff and the team was easy with fast response times, but we really didn't need anything. Located on a west-facing canal, the sunsets were amazing, and we had daily visits from dolphins and manatees, along with loads of other wildlife to observe. Paddleboarding and kayaking are also so easy right from the house, with miles and miles of shoreline to explore. Fishing right from the dock was also a treat with redfish, snook, and sheepshead easily caught - catfish too, of course. We brought our boat along and found it easy to launch less than a mile away. The boat lift worked great and easily handled our 22' center console. Navigating the channels was simple, as they are very well marked. The highlight for us was the boat lift, easy access to the bay, and fantastic offshore fishing. Combined with the super comfortable accommodations, we can't wait to return!

Jacky A.Beautiful waterfront location! Very comfortable older home, very well maintained. Super clean! Wonderfully comfortable both in and outside, but the exterior is A with the huge lanai on the water with boat dock and another sitting area. Amazingly well outfitted home. They provided everything we could ask for in the kitchen. The grill was great. The owners were great - friendly and great communication.
