The Live Oak library is a short walk away and is surrounded by Corcoran Lagoon which is home to Great White Herons and many other types of animals and birds.There is wood for beach bonfires and a small portable BB-Q.

Great couple days
We enjoyed the couple nights we spent here. Home was clean and had all we needed for cooking meals. Home was very inviting and beautiful with all the flowers. Very well maintained. Cathy was very easy to work with and very responsive to everything. Felt a little overwhelmed initially reading all the rules (e.g. seemed to imply we had to have all dishes cleaned and put away before we left), but quick confirmation with Cathy reassured us we just needed to load the dishwasher. Proximity to Target and coffee shops was nice. Quiet neighborhood. Would stay here again!

Bright Beach Cottage with beautiful yard
Stayed at Cathy's place for Spring Break with my sister and two nieces. The house is lovely and clean with a beautiful backyard and front yard full of flowers. We enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor shower as well as the beach bikes. Fresh flowers, herbs and lemons were a special touch in the house! Cathy was wondering to work with and the neighborhood is close to Pleasure Poknt area.
