River-front house 6-kayaks manatees bikes fire pit fishing HUGE yard/parking

The property was really.nice but we had the feeling we were watched constantly due to hearing people's conversation via the ring cameras around the property

Not kept up with at all.

Definitely a great place to stay, I would say the area has some hidden gems. The river is great, but with a big family we went to Roger’s Park which I highly recommend along with Aripeka Sand hills which was a bonus adventure. Everyone morning we sat out back and watched so many species of fish just pile through the canal. Kids won’t forget this one.

The house was cute. It had everything including 2 bikes. We didn’t use the kayaks but there were plenty. The floor inside is in need of a replacement. There was clearly some sort of flood or something. The floor is buckled and is a trip hazard. The batteries for the lock on the front door died. Luckily, the host was very responsive and sent the neighbor over with two new batteries. My son changed the batteries out (we had a screwdriver in our vehicle). The only real NEGATIVE is the amount of yellow flies which cannot be controlled. They bite! I had an allergic reaction to them but nobody else in our party did. I still have bites on me that continue to itch nearly 3 weeks later. Overall, this is a nice property for a family to enjoy.

Enjoyed staying in this place. Accurate listing. Was able to fish and saw 2 manatees pass thru waterway behind house. Was nice and quiet. Felt like we were camping in the wilderness! Did not cook there but could have. Places to eat require a little drive. Have to be able to climb steps if staying here. Would stay here again.

House good, bed comfy, nice shower. Unfortunately kayak launch at house not what we expected. Too bad much of beaches in Spring Hill still closed for repair. Thank goodness nice beaches not too far away, about an hour south.

Our family needed a quiet break after the holidays to reconnect with nature and each other. This location and slower pace of lifestyle was the answer. Orit had everything ready for us and was immediately available for our questions. We would come back again!

The only thing we did not enjoy was the water damage to the home, especially the flooring. The home was clean and had everything we needed. The host was wonderful! Loved the kayaks and river! Overall great stay!

Very clean place. Nice and quiet. Everything you need is provided except a mixer. The host are amazing and are quick to respond. Enjoyed our stay and highly recommend. Didn’t get to use the kayaks but they are available for use. Enjoyed seeing the stars from the large deck and listening to the owls at night.

Orit checked in with us & was so flexible since a hurricane was coming at the beginning of our stay. She truly cared and wanted us to be able to enjoy our vacation. Great property! Nice master suite and 2nd bedroom has bunk beds for up to 4 kids. Living, dining, and kitchen are very open. The sectional couch can easily fit 10 people and there is an extra couch in the living area too. Have a meal on the deck! Sit on the dock and watch the fish swim! Mullets jump out of the water continuously! The house had everything we needed. Laundry detergent, toaster oven, extra charging ports on the master night stand, iron and ironing board, life vests, kayaks, body wash, and more! The neighborhood is very safe and the residents are very nice. I spoke to several residents on our daily walks and they were kind to offer places to visit and other tips. Being on the canal, we fished and kayaked almost everyday. We took an airboat tour which was great to see the water areas you cant drive to or get to without a boat. We visited Pine Island beach. Its beautiful water. Not too deep and we even got to see a dolphin! One canal over is the Salt Creek, which is clear water and a spring swimming area. Kayaking down the canals & near Mary's Fish Camp we got to see manatees multiple times. There are beautiful birds and lots of wildlife basically in your backyard. Lots of locally owned restaurants within 10 minutes of the house. Grocery stores and other shops are about 10 minutes away. Great location!

Very clean house. Stocked with all the essentials. Beautiful location. Quiet neighborhood. Owner very responsive to emails/messages.

This was the perfect getaway. The home was everything myself husband and two kids (16 & 9) needed for a vacation. I could sit on the porch all day and just watch the fish but we never ran out of things to do. My teen and I kayaked every morning to the spring and back. I was worried about getting the kayaks up ourselves but it was a breeze. Both kids enjoyed walking across the street and swimming in the spring water that was just for residents. Only once was there more then just us there. One day we took the hour or so trip to Busch Gardens and another trip to Honeymoon Island and Shell Key Island (here we had several playful manatees swim up to us. It was like a dream). Other days we went up to the beach maybe 5-10 minutes away where we saw so many dolphins! The kids enjoyed just riding the scooter and bike around the neighborhood. The beds and couch were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Made for a super enjoyable trip and we will be back!
