After spending a month in Europe with the kids this summer, and being on the go and busy, this was the perfect getaway for us! We loved fishing from the dock (we did catch and release) and being together. We did family meals, movie time, so much fishing (kids couldn't get enough!) and having a peaceful break from real life and the crowds.
Our dog loved being here. She isn't a runner, so the non-fenced yard was ok for her. She loved being out of the dock and watching the kids fish.
We saw 3 otters swim by; they stopped, popped their heads up for about 30 seconds to say hi before swimming away.
Being on the canal is not like being at the beach; here you have a gentle breeze vs the wind at the beach. We preferred the breeze here! The canal changes direction based on the tides, which was fun to watch it come to a slow, be perfectly still and see the clouds reflect, and then start back up in the opposite direction.
This was the perfect space for our family of 4!
