Beautiful view!
Everything was very nice and clean. Nice size deck and great location. Outdoor furniture was indoors, due to it being off season, but easily moved on to deck. Will stay here again.. thanks for sharing your home with my family.

About the host

Hosted by Stuart and Terry Bennett

Host profile image
We live in Michigan's Upper Peninsula which we love. We live in a log home that we built ourselves, mostly as a camp, when our kids were little. We live on Conway Lake with Lake Superior 1/4 mile away. After our kids grew up and left home, and after we retired, we decided to sell our home in Marquette and move to our camp, 20 minutes north of Big Bay, MI. We love the peace and the beauty of nature and feel very fortunate to live the lifestyle that we have chosen.

Why they chose this property

When we decided to get away from winter for a month or two, we rented a home in Old Town, FL. We went for a drive one day to find some local shrimp and someone suggested Horseshoe Beach. We fell in love with it right away. In driving around, we noted that this house was for sale. We had not planned to buy, but decided to check the house out and we both felt it was meant to be! We were so impressed with the views and the town itself, that we made an offer. We love it here and now spend 4 months here every winter.

What makes this property unique

Fishing, fishing and fishing! This is the place to be! A quiet, peaceful place to unwind and relax. Not as many people as there is in other towns/cities in Florida. And, we have become friends with many people in town, who appreciate the same.
