A Perfect Stay
After some hectic travelling in the US, we were looking forward to some down time where we could just relax for a while and Long Meadow, did not disappoint!
From the moment that we walked through the front door, we knew that we had made the right decision.
Long Meadow is quiet and secluded without being remote - there are shops in either direction within about a 10 minute drive, so ideal for stocking up.
The pool is south facing so perfect for making the most of the sun although there is a shaded area complete with dining table and chairs - great for outdoor eating. Plus a gas barbecue for use as well.
John and Maggie, the property managers, are just along the road and are available if needed.
There was only two of us, so we had plenty of room to spread out. Our bed was comfortable and the master suite overlooks the pool area.
We rented a boat from Gasparilla Marina while we were there (about 15 minute drive) and went out on the intracostal waterway. We were lucky enough to see several pods of dolphins while we were out.
I think that we saw more wild life this time in Florida than we have ever seen before. The lake at the back of the property is a haven for bird life and when coming back one evening, we saw a coyote and a bobcat!
Richard (the owner) was quick to respond to any queries that we had prior to our arrival and obviously a lot of thought has gone into furnishing the house.
We would not hesitate to recommend Long Meadow and would hope to be able to return one day.
