THE Private Resort
If you're looking to get away, this is the place. We wanted a long weekend to decompress and looked into a cruise, then decided on something less chaotic and found this gem of a house on VRBO. We made the right choice, and plan on returning soon.

Beautiful Home!
This home was beautiful online but even better when we arrived! It sat on a gorgeous piece of property with beautiful views! The house was large and comfortable and the movie room was jaw dropping! We also enjoyed the large swimming pool and had plenty of room for entertaining on the deck and patio. Then only negative was us having to leave too soon! We will be back for sure!

The property is beautiful and and very relaxing. The outdoor amenities which include a pool, spa and basketball court are amazing. The property truly does make you feel as if you are staying at your own resort. The property manager was great to communicate with and was very informative and responsive. If you rent this property you won't be disappointed.

Beautiful, Private, Home on the Water
Just the perfect place for a relaxing weekend away! The pool and hot tub are fantastic and we had a great time fishing off the dock and kayaking in the canals. Wonderful location! Close and convenient to everything but still incredibly private and serene, surrounded by the gorgeous marsh. The theater and popcorn machine were also a total bonus. We’ll definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Scalloped by Idalia
Thoroughly enjoyed the home, the hurricane was a challenge and we weren’t really sure we could even go until literally the day before. Catherine did everything she could to make sure everything went smoothly, including the pool filling up with marsh water and even fish. We couldn’t actually get our boat back to the house so Boating from the backyard, well, the front yard wasn’t even an option because the salt river was so full of debris. Would love to come back when we could really go “scalping”! So maybe in the summer when the storms were all clear other than those challenges, the house was awesome.

Catherine has thought of just about everything in this home-games, movie theater, surround sound, kayaks. The pool and patio were fantastic, and there was a ton of space for our two families to spread out. We come to CR every year, and we’ll definitely be back!

Such a fun place to stay!
We LOVED our time at Dixie Shores! We were there on Christmas Day and Cathrine had decorated the house for us. Amazing to go the extra mile - we LOVED having not one but two decorated trees. Spending a week in this house with friends and family was the perfect way to end 2022. We watched movies in the theater, played lots of ping pong, went in the hot tub, swam with the manatees, kayaked, and cooked so many meals in her beautiful kitchen. It was the perfect house for our group of 10! And Cathrine is definitely the hostest with the mostest!
