Paul,
I wanted to let you know that Dave and I just had a great time.  There's not too many places left where you can go for a week straight and not see another soul on the beach for 5 out of the 7 seven days.  Rest assured we will be back.  Thanks for everything.
Jud

Dear Paul,
We lived the Discovery Channel! Exceeded our expectations.
Kayaked with dolphins, manatees, and even an alligator as we returned to your canal dock. Explored the amazing "Tunnel of Love" mangrove-lined passage from bayou to beach.
Shared the beach with Bald Eagles, Ospreys, Pelicans, and numerous shore birds. Surf cast for Pompano (catch and release). Returned home with a shell collection of memories.
Water taxied to Cabbage Key for Stone Crab,  Gulf shrimp and tropical cocktails. Enjoyed grilling on the house deck with James Taylor on your Bose speakers.
Your "Tree House" afforded comfort and continuity with the island environment.
We hope to return next year. Thank you for sharing your unique house and island.
Best regards,
Joanne and Roger

01/30/05 We stayed here end of June and beginning of July 2004. It was hot, but so beautiful! Looking out my bedroom window I felt like part of the Swiss Family Robinson. The beach was incredible and all those shells!! I loved feeding Momma pig and her babies each morning. I'm sure they miss us! Thank you, Paul, for a fantastic time!

11/15/04 Fantastic 'hidden treasure' of a place. We found Cayo Costa by accident and spent just a week here. A week is sufficient if you need to unwind in a paridise with all the wildlife you can immagine but no amenities. We were so impressed with being able to travel back in time to this hidden sanctuary that we're coming back in '04. The wild pigs trust the humans and come looking for food but apparently the Rangers want to kill them. Thank goodness there are 2 local residents who look after nature rather than destroying it. Well done Jackie Willett and Carol Sellars. Mick & Jan from England.

08/28/03 You will have the beach all to yourself, best shelling in Florida. House sits in tropical forest with views of the entire island from the top deck. Wonderful place to relax. Take a water taxi to the Cabbage Key Restaurant for a memorable dinner.

07/14/03 The house is very comfortable on a secluded
island with good fishing and shelling. if a
private getaway is your wish, there probably
is no better value in the area.
