Ready To Go Back

My husband and I chose this house for three reasons; location, amenities & pet friendly. I was a little worried when we pulled up to the house, let's be honest, it's lacking some curb appeal. The home is a typical older Florida home that sits on a beautiful piece of property. When we entered, the worried feeling changed, everything was incredibly clean. The kitchen is older but perfectly useable and the bathroom has great water pressure (once we figured out how to use the shower) and is very clean.
There is a lot of space for you to spread out. There are three inclosed seating areas along the back and side of the house, all screened in. We enjoyed the screened in area that over looks the canal the most. There are a few things that need fixing, but for the price, they are easily overlooked.
The amenities that come with the house are amazing! The pool was very enjoyable, clean and had a deep end that is actually deep. The canoe and kayaks provided hours of enjoyment and allowed us access to the magical Three Sisters Springs. We saw several manatees swimming by the house in the canal, along with lots and lots of big fish. Our dogs enjoyed swimming in the canal and looking up in to the trees at all of the squirrels and birds. The house is also right down the road from a beautiful, sandy beach (Fort Island Beach) that is quiet. We watched the most beautiful sunset we have ever seen from that beach.
It was so wonderful to get away from technology and get out and enjoy mother nature. The area is gorgeous & everyone we encountered on King's Bay was friendly and helpful. Many great memories were made!
