"We arrived and were warmly welcomed by our host, Matt. He was a wealth of information on things to do and places to eat. His wonderful home is situated on Lower Largo Beach and there was access to the water for walks. There is ample parking a short walk (70-50 yards) away. His breakfast and wonderful stories were very entertaining. We stayed 2 days and wish it was longer. "
