The road driving to and from the boat house was awesome!! I can not begin to tell you how fascinated we were to see the variety of animals that popped up along the way, not to mention to have seen them in Florida. The river house was beautiful, clean and so, so comfortable. The porch with the view was just so amazing. You seemed to get lost in the day as well as loosing track of time, without a care either way. The private dock was absolutely awesome! We had rented a skiff for a few days and then a pontoon. It worked out great, very easy access, and had bouys that were already in place. The covered dock was a very nice area to hang out as well! Nice breeze in the evenings, had a grill, outdoor bar, fish cleaning station, ceiling fans and lights for added decor. NICE!!!!! So many things you can do in Steinhatchee and so many good places to eat. Heming’s Way coffee and Tacos ROCK!!! All in all, I highly recommend the boathouse retreat!! Beautiful, clean, and private!!! The owner was extremely exceptional and so kind. Went out of his way to make our stay comfy and to let us know if anything was needed he was there for us!!! We will definitely be back!!!!!!!! One more thing - this town is all about the GOLF CART!!!! Rent one - it was a blast!!!!!!!! I loved it!!! Filomena, Seth, Hannah, Nick, and Gracie
Great retreat for a long weekend. Wife and friends enjoyed the place like no other. We always travel in a group, taking turns finding the best places. This place is a little goldmine. 50-60ish that thinks we are in our 20ish and had a blast. This place has everything you need. Pretty much a new house with recent upgrades. A boat dock was my initial search. This place has a dock on the river which is 2 miles from the gulf. Boating was absolutely wonderful. House had all you could wish for, washer, dryer, coffee maker, grill, firepit.....etc....etc. The balcony is a great place to enjoy your morning brew. It was the gathering place in the morning. The bar in the boathouse was the gathering place at night. Gates make for a nice secure feel. Beds were very comfortable. Everything worked as it should. Small nook on the property where a stream exits into the river gave us a wonderful treat....up close and personal with 2 manatees that where holed up in the stream. Just the peace and quiet of the place makes it worth the trip. Not overrun by tourism, this is not a jumping town if that is what you are looking for. I can say that the property alone is worth making it a destination. About a mile drive from the main road on a dirt road and only 2 properties at the end of it. Just sitting at the boat house watching boats go by was a nice view. Fishing off the dock was another past time.....and having a few drinks only made the experience all that more enjoyable! Owner was also kind enough to give me a few tips and pleasant to deal with. Make this your next go to vacation, BUT NOT WHEN I'M THERE!
The Boathouse Retreat provided a wonderful relaxing atmosphere with the best dock and yard set up. Weather kept us from being able to enjoy all the amenities, we would stay there again.
This rental has even more than advertized. We were surprised to find everything advertised even better. The house was clean and updated. Great vacation. All in our family would like to come back. Ray was a great host. Very easy to work with.
Made the house my Destination. Looking for a peaceful place to celebrate my 60 birthday. Wanted a quiet and serene location. Made this place the choice for it's location. Clean, well supplied with all the creature comforts of home. Well cared for, just about new everything. Excellent location with plenty of privacy. Wife and friends really enjoyed the place. Used the grill outdoors to cook. Made for a wonderful night outdoors. Has a dock for my boat. Sunsets were beautiful. Really made an impression on friends due to our compitition on finding places every year. Best rental I have made in past 7 years. If you want peace n quiet, wonderful nights with your loved ones.....this is it. Every aspect of this place will make you not regret it. Owners are also super nice, and filled with useful information regarding the fishing spots and local surroundings. The fact they had a dock made it a win-win for me. Dropped my boat at the public ramp 2 miles down the road and just tied it to the dock for 2 nights. Gates and large fence add to the security. Purely isolated heaven. Actuall watched a boat sink overnight from a bad storm directly across from our dock then followed by rescue crew the next morning. Made for a fun cup of coffee on the deck. Oh.....theres a nook where water comes out of a stream on the propoerty. We were treated to 2 manetees lounging in the area for hours. Don't hesitate or think twice about this place. Do it!
Property was Amazing, would love to come back.
A great place to stay in Steinhatchee, FL. Accommodations were great. The owner thought of everything. Great home, great outdoor space, right on the river…we will return.
We stayed for Labor Day weekend and the last scalloping of the season. House was in a great location, so much to do. Only wish we had more time to use the kayaks, bikes and fish a little more…you won’t regret your stay!
We had a fantastic time. The accommodations were thoughtfully done we did not want for anything. Perfect for your boat and fishing. Awesome retreat for my family. The host was so nice and helpful. I would recommend this lovely home to anyone. The Wiggins Family
When we arrived the property was in perfect location. We enjoyed our visit. House was super clean.
The property was exactly as described! The house was wonderful and the dock was perfect for us! We also used the kayaks and the kids really loved that part! The house really did have everything we could have needed! The owners went above and beyond with their communication and the attentiveness to detail. We definitely felt welcomed! Will definitely be staying again!!
