We do not charge for pool heat.
Beyond the screened in paradise awaits a fire pit with 5 chairs overlooking the water. Firewood can be purchased at many nearby retailers such as Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware. Beyond the large, fenced yard is your own private dock system. Brand new built in table for waterfront dining and hanging out. Take one of the four provided 10' single person kayaks off the floating dock for a 10 minute paddle to open sea! Tip: time it for sunset- breathtaking! Life jackets provided. Please be very careful accessing the dock system- depending on the tide, the connections can lose some stability. If you'd like to go to the lower dock, it is best to use the two ramps off the corner of the property as opposed to the walkway from the fixed dock (as that is a disconnected/ramped access point).
>Fish from the dock using one of our provided poles and tackle. Common catches are flounder, catfish, sheepshead, mullet- it's endless, anything that swims in the ocean typically finds their way in to the canals (including an occasional manatee or dolphin!).
>Camera disclosure:
Our property is monitored by several outdoor security cameras. Street cam above the garage, front door doorbell cam, backyard camera, and dock recording audio and video. When guests are on property, we turn off camera notifications. Requesting to book indicates consent to this security feature, and agreement not to tamper with the cameras. We do allow covering/turning camera that has view of the pool, please return to original condition upon departure.

Our amily had a lovely stay during our ThanxMas gathering. We enjoyed the kayaks and saw several dolphins during our outings. The grills a wonderful feature, the couch was perfect for game watching, and the beds were the most comfortable of all the rentals we've stayed at in this area. The pool was in excellent condition, and the outdoor area was perfect for enjoying the lovely weather. We hope to return.
If you are looking for a VRBO with amazing outdoor space, no need to look further!! Our party spent 99% of the time we were at the property outside in the pool, grilling, watching football and kayaking from the dock. We rented a boat one day, and pulled right up to the property, and then went and spent the day in the Gulf of Mexico. The communication with the host was stellar, and check in and out was easy and smooth. Highly recommend this experience. Some of our favorite things we did were the Weeki Wachee State park for kayaking down the river and the mermaid show, a sunset and glow kayak experience, boating in the Gulf, and found a trail that we walked right across the street. On that trail we saw birds, deer and an alligator!! Our favorite drink and bar food was the Upper Deck, favorite nice dinner was Brian's Place, and we highly recommend Thousand Island cafe in Spring Hill for breakfast. The friendliness and hospitality of the people in this area was a real treat. If you want to explore the Weeki Wachee, book this property!
If you want to have a place to relax with family and get some fishing in this place was great. I was very pleasantly surprised to find a well stock fishing shack with fishing poles and tackle for both light and heavy fishing. You can walk to the live Bait shop it is so close. There are cast nets and even live shrimp buckets. We fished both the dock and in the Kayaks .We caught many different types of fish including Sea Trout and Jack Crevalle. You can catch Catfish 24/7 from the dock. The Outdoor Patio was great to have family over for a sea food dinner by the pool while the sun was setting. You do get some sound from a local bar that fortunately plays good music. The beds were very comfortable. The master bathroom Jacuzzi tub is the real deal. It really works nice. The host was as pleasant as I have ever dealt with. I don't think I ever waited more than an 20 minutes for a response when I sent a message to her.
The house and pool were awesome for the time we spent in this home. Everything was nicely decorated and comfortable. Checkin was easy and the house had everything we needed for a stay away from home.
We stayed 8 nights and had a blast. Made extensive use of the pool (6’ deep end was great) fished everyday off the dock (mostly catfish, but also accidentally caught a turtle), kayaked out to sea, restaurants and bait shop within walking distance … what’s not to love. 3 king beds was a really nice extra as well. We highly recommend the Silver Dolphin restaurant (2m drive), which had really good food and an awesome outside garden/seating area. We even had the luck of seeing a very large alligator casually swim up the creek behind the restaurant.
Everyone in our family enjoyed the stay. Definitely a good spot to fish and crab with the kids!
Everything was great!
Jess was very easy to correspond with as well as accommodating with our needs! Place was very clean and had a lot to offer as far as fishing and on-site activities! Pool area was amazing with the outdoor kitchen, burn pit and kayaks! #GreatPlaceToStay
Great overall experience! The home is lovely. Plenty of room and comfortable accommodations. The outdoor space is great and has beautiful canal views! Jessica was so easy to work with. Easy check in/out process. We absolutely hope to stay again!
We had two families with a total of 8 people stay in this house, it was accommodating. It was very clean and the online listing was accurate. Plenty of fishing poles and tackle were available at the home, bait shop is within walking distance. My 6 year old caught plenty of fish off of the dock. My only regret is not renting a boat, the dock is perfectly situated to have a boat or jet ski rental during your stay. The pool was also very nice to swim in while we watched the Florida Gators beat Utah in the swamp! Thnak you Jess!
Home was very well kept and clean.
So easy to get to all the restaurants and sights. The pool was fantastic. The house well-appointed. My daughter and grandchildren found it very comfortable and homey. Nice view on the canal! Everything was great.... will definitely go back.
The whole experience was wonderful. Quick communication, helpful information, and a beautiful home to spend time with family. I highly recommend this location.
Beautiful home everything was perfect. We spent majority of our time in the pool, kayaking and fishing. Perfect home for families plenty of room to spread out.
Hard to condense this spectacular experience. The house and its host Jessica were equally amazing. Asked a couple days before check in if there was a cooler (we had several fishing excursions planned) and Jessica purchased a beauty shipped to the house waiting for us on the doorstep. Screened in salt water swimming pool was of perfect temperature and super clean…even watched Celtic playoff game 7 on back patio TV while floating in pool. Everyone commented how comfy their beds were and house temp was nice and chill. We took advantage of the practically new kayaks and paddled the canal behind house to the Gulf (could make it to the flats if calm and not too windy). Neighborhood was very nice with all your shopping necessities close by. My mom loved fishing off the dock and rods and reels provided are in great shape. Well equipped kitchen, plenty of towels for pool/beach, modern washer/dryer and nice outdoor grill. Highly recommend staying here. Thanks Jessica for providing us with such a great family vacation!
