Family fishing trip 2025

Great place for a family vacation. House is newly built and is absolutely beautiful. Lots of space to hang out and relax when we were not out fishing. Maybe the biggest TV I have ever seen. Private pool is a bonus enjoyed by our whole family. Owner super responsive to answering questions. He has access to property across the street so I could park the boat trailer. Walking distance to a great restaurant. We will definitely be booking another stay here.

Port Paradise!

We truly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely book this property again! The pool was a perfect spot for the kiddos while the adults cooked and visited in the many well appointed gathering spaces offered on the property. In the main house every single room has a flat screen with easy to use technology and streaming services. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed as far as dishes and basic pantry supplies, and the guest house even had an ice maker which was a pleasant surprise in the middle of August! Communication with the hosts was seamless and pleasant from the very beginning and the decor is adorable. The hosts have really maximized the spaces on this property and it was clean and comfortable! If there was any suggestion to make it would be to great to have some shade for the pool but that is just being picky! Everything was great!

Clean and Cozy

The whole family stayed in this great house for 5 days. i can't express enough on the cleanliness and homey feel this house provided. The pool house was a bonus, as this is where the teen boy and his big brother stayed. The rest of the family stayed comfortably in the main house. The kitchen had most all that was needed and the beds were comfy. Big dining table provided plenty of room for our sit down meals. The grill was a nice bonus too. Communication with owner was excellent. If you want to vacation with family, I highly recommend this place. We will definitely book again.

Great spot in Port Mansfield

Me, my adult son and my college buddy stayed at this property for a 3-day guided fishing trip out of Port Mansfield. The property was perfect for us. Internet was great, TVs were great, kitchen was well furnished with nice stuff. Appliances, including washer/dryer, HVAC, freezer and BBQ grill were great. Beds were very comfortable which was great after 3 days of wade fishing. I will definitely look to stay at this property again for our next fishing trip.

My Peaceful Quiet Vacation

Property was perfect. Wife and I really enjoyed the house and pool house, ice machine was a plus, BBQ pit was NICE for cooking our daily catch and steaks, I took plenty of firewood and cooked outside about 6 times. Pool was always clean. A/C worked great. String lights give the place a relaxing feel. Wish it was my place, lol.
