Our rental was on the St George River. It sat overlooking a beautiful cove, and the useful parts of the house--kitchen, dining and living rooms, bedrooms--all faced water and oriented due west so we were treated to beautiful sunsets every evening. At night, we could slip on a sweater and sit under the stars. On one evening the International Space Station slid past directly overhead. Beautiful.
The next day we paddled the kayaks around the point and into the next cove. For our trouble we were treated to the sight of six Great Blue Herons. Six.
If there was a downside it was the food. Lobster everywhere, and good farm stands with corn and local vegetables. But at most restaurants, the standard is fried everything (except lobster). Nonetheless, I suspect we'll be back someday.
