    The house and location was beautiful. We enjoyed watching the mullet, dolphins, birds, and amazing sunsets. We took the kayaks out to the gulf, just make sure you know the tide schedule so you don’t get stuck in the gulf. The house had everything you needed. Perfect place for relaxing!

    David and Kelly were great hosts. Kelly checked in pretty much daily to see if we needed anything. The home was cozy and plenty of games to do inside in case of inclement weather. The home is sitting on the Gulf fishing was great we caught snook, sheep head,reds,lady fish, lots of good fishing. The outside pavilion is a great place to hang out while grilling and eating. Everything was great and we really enjoyed our stay!

    Outdoor area was amazing! Beautiful views and space! Had some issues on check in but were handled quickly. Bathrooms weren’t quite what we expected. Definitely a fishing / camping feel!

    Our family and dogs had a blast on the property. Made full use of the canoe and kayaks. We floated around the islands during high tide. Great Stay hands down!

    This property was beautiful, clean, and fully stocked with cookware, utensils, condiments and toiletries. If you are planning to visit within the Hernando Beach area, this house was very conveniently located. My husband and two teenage kids found this property online. I was a little skeptical because several of our days were going to be spent in Tampa, Clearwater and St. Petersburg which are about 1-1.5 hours away. This was a bit of a drive but wasn't too bad. The days spent at the home were relaxing with a fantastic view, plenty of fishing, kayaking/canoeing, and swimming. There was a separate bedroom and bathroom that could only be accessed by going outside. We didn't know this when initially renting the property. The kids wanted their own bedroom but they ended up sharing the bedroom with two beds so we all could stay within the house. The detached bedroom/bath may be an issue for a family with many small kids however. The beds were comfortable with plenty of additional blankets and a nice full size washer and dryer were available. All in all, this was a great property to stay at.

    The house and the setting are stunning. We enjoyed the kayaks and the wildlife viewing. It was a peaceful atmosphere and the sunsets were amazing. It was an easy drive to good restaurants, grocery store, etc. There were a couple of cool windy days but we still enjoyed ourselves.

    This was an excellent location.Very cute decor.But misleading in the description of the layout of the home.It shows three bedrooms. But the one bedroom and bath are downstairs separate from the house. This bedroom is completely by itself and in order to get to the house, you have to go outside around the building and up the steps. Thank God it did not rain while we were there. That room was very isolated. It was almost as if it was a storage room under the house that they turned into a bedroom and bath. Which was fine, but there was no kitchenette. So every time my family needed something they needed to go outside in order to get upstairs.Very disappointing as we were all expecting to be together.Also, no big screen TV under the pole barn as advertised, no foosball table showing in the pictures, and the fireplace is not a working fireplace.There were also issues with hair on two sofas.The host did refund me, and I would totally use this property again, however, I would never dream of putting my family members in the downstairs suite.

    The property was amazing and everything we wanted. I had envisioned a vacation in sunny Florida with our kids where we could relax and enjoy the weather. We wanted a country setting on the water. This was everything we imagined and more. We will be returning.

    Nice location for nature lovers, which is what we are. Saw plenty of wading and tripical birds. Also got to see some dolphins feeding right off of the deck. Only wish I was able to capture some pictures, as that was a highlight of the trip. Nice house and well taken care of.

    9 year old describing it Super duper duper awesome! House was great for 2 families of four with kids in the double queen room. Place had all kinds of stuff to do and use, great outdoor setup. Amazing view and sunsets. Great spot for beginner kayakers, bring water shoes for getting in and out. Bottom suite you do have to go outside to access from main area. Hosts had fantastic communication and were very helpful. Highly recommend.

    The house was beautiful inside and out with lots of amenities and wonderful hosts. Every day was filled with excitement. We went kayaking, canoeing and fishing on the gulf. Loved eating fresh fish caught right off the dock. We spent a day explored the many beaches nearby. Enjoyed our visit to Tarpon Springs shopping, dining and exploring the Sponge Docks. We went to the mermaid show and also took the private boat tour thru the Weeki Wachee Spring enjoying boating, swimming and watching the manatees. Some of our crew even braved spending another day exploring the springs on their own. Every night we watched the most beautiful sunset. A great time was had by all
