Great place to stay. House is beautiful and was comfortable for everyone. Nice pool to cool off and pretty decent fishing at night on the private pier. Took home a couple nice trout and redfish. We will definitely be coming back.

House is very spacious, accommodated our family with room to spare. Having 3 restrooms helped with the amount of people, only complaint is the hot tub was not working properly.

We loved it and would stay again. We had an issue with the sink and it was addressed the same day. The rental process was so easy and convenient.

We were moved to Cato Malo due to my initial rental was pulled from the program by the owner, months after I had paid the rental fee. This is a great place and location; however, we experienced some let downs with the following. The floors were not moped, there was sand on the floor, Swimming pool was dirty, (we checked in on Saturday and a pool guy was there on Monday) the overhead lights in one of the bedrooms did not work, had to use a lamp, the living room furniture was dated and uncomfortable. The microwave would run but would not heat up what was placed in there. Biggest problem for me was the damaged fishing pier. This was our annual Father's Day gathering with the family and fishing was on top of our list.
