Perfect scalloping getaway
This place has everything you need if you want to take your own boat scalloping. It has a dock and boat launch nearby, and is easy to get to where you want to be. It was clean, and welcoming. We had a wonderful stay, thank you.

Lovely home close to the springs and everything else!
We are leaving this lovely home this morning, and taking in our last moments here on the lovely lanai. The backyard is so lovely and serene and the trees and the water that runs behind the house is picturesque. We spent two days exploring the bay and springs and there many restaurant options very close by. This turned out to be the perfect location for our needs. The owner of the house, Jenn, could not have been more responsive to any questions and needs. We would recommend this home to friends and family.

Fun getaway
Very nice home. We had everything we needed. Loved that it had a dock for our pontoon. So much fun exploring. One branch over the dock needs to be cut. It’s in your face when you dock. Other than that all good.

Family getaway
We enjoyed the stay and having the kayaks was a nice add on that we took advantage of. We took advantage of the fishing dock and caught an assortment of fish, crab and stingray. Close to everything.. would recommend!!

Wedding
Came for the wedding of our daughter who was married at the Florida state archaeologic state park right around the corner. The location was perfect and we were able to have a lovely pre-rehearsal breakfast at the VRBO on the day of the wedding as the rehearsal dinner the night before was totally discombobulated by late flights. The hostess was very attentive, and took care of any problems that we had immediately.

Weekend getaway with kids and grandkids
We had a great time and the weather was amazing. The use of the kyayks was very convenient. Loved the screened room, firepit and the doc access for fishing. This was a great place for all of us to be in one place, thank you.

Great location
We stayed here for a week. We had a wonderful time. Brought our boat down and enjoyed every minute. Only had a problem with one of the propane tanks leaking but the owner took care of it right away, The only recommendations I would leave is to create a hard copy check in and out manual for guest. We look forward to coming back!

Wunderschönes Ankommen im Urlaub
Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und es gibt nichts was man auf den beiden Stockwerken vermissen könnte. Es gibt im Haus sogar eine Waschmaschine und einen Trockener, welche beide benutzt werden können. Das Haus hat Fliegengitter an den Fenstern und die Terrasse ist Überdacht und auch mit Fliegengitter versehen. Der Grill ist toll und es war super, dass man direkt mit den dazugehörigen Kajaks paddeln gehen konnte. Die Möbel und die Elektrogeräte waren alle sehr gepflegt. Die Kommunikation mit Jennifer war stets sehr freundlich und kompetent. Wir hatten hier eine tolle Zeit und können es nur empfehlen. Vielen Dank
