One of the master suites has its very own private sitting room and a very large marble bathroom with a large jetted soaker tub, makeup desk, double sinks with quartz countertops and a large marble shower. All beds throughout the house get raving reviews for comfort.

You may see dolphins, manatee, tropical birds, jumping fish, and other wildlife from the master bedroom, family room, breakfast nook, pool area, or while sitting on the dock.

Beautiful Property, Wonderful Stay
The property is as advertised. It was an absolutely fantastic place to get together with my family. Some of the most beautiful Blue Crabs I have ever seen caught right off the dock. 5 stars all the way. Only on drawback to anything was the grill but we figured that out too. The holders to the flavor bars have rusted out and are gone so the bars sit on the flame keeping the grill from getting hot, made a small adjustment making the flavor bars slightly caddie corner to keep them above the flame, and boom hot grill and easy cooking!!

A slice of heaven!
This amazing property is a slice of heaven! Everything you need at your fingertips! From relaxing to fishing off the pier to swimming in the pool, our family enjoyed every moment! If you are a fisherman, we caught sting ray, shark, snapper, catfish, lady fish, and a few other species! Dolphin almost everyday! Highly recommend for family fun!! The owners were amazing and very welcoming!

FABULOUS MONTH WITH FRIENDS IN A BEAUTIFUL SETTING !
It’s hard to know where to start. We spent a month with friends at Bob and Jackie's riverside home. The beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is stocked with every imaginable appliance with plenty of cookware and supplies. The heated pool and hot tub were an exquisite treat every day, the peaceful setting on the river was relaxing, and everything is there for a fabulous vacation at home away from home. Did I mention regular dolphin sightings from the living room and lanai? Or, seeing sunrise colors across the sky while working at the desk in the master bedroom? To top it off, communication with Bob and Jackie was seamless – they were always available to help with information on area activities and questions about the numerous amenities their home offers. Throughout the month, several friends visited for long weekends, and we created countless memories cooking out by the pool, watching movies, and playing board games at the large dining room table. Of note is a nearby private community (Riverside) with a golf club and restaurant - both available to the public. There are pickleball courts at Apollo Beach (about 20 minutes away) and a fitness center within about 20 minutes (WORX) that we joined for the month. We recommend Bob and Jackie’s home for family reunions, groups of friends, sibling trips, etc.

Quiet Remote Getaway
We had a very relaxing stay. So quiet and away from the busy city.. But not so remote that you cant get to a grocery store or restaurants within 10 minutes. The house has pretty much everything you need. We stayed during the first week of December and the home was decorated for Christmas, even down to the dishes and cups. The temps dipped into the low/mid 70s and the heated pool/hot tub was perfect. Beautiful home. We look forward to going back.

Beautiful and Peaceful Retreat
This lovely home will not disappoint. Water, wildlife,super clean and extremely well equipped, this property exceeded our expectations. I like to say we've been spoiled by each of our VRBO hosts, but Jackie and Bob take it to another level. They literally had a tech out hours before our check in to ensure that everything was up to their standards. We focused on health and wellness for our anniversary and could not have chosen a better place to celebrate. Truly a hidden gem.

Beautiful location!!
Our family stayed for a week and had a fabulous time. The property was beautiful! The photos do not do the interior or exterior justice, it was amazing! The owners were super nice and showed us how to use everything. This isn’t a typical bare bones vacation rental, it was a home. Really nice kitchen appliances and more than enough pots and pans to cook anything we wanted to make! Jackie was kind enough to bring over an instant pot when I asked if she had one. The kids enjoyed the pool and we kayaked and paddle boarded in the river. We caught blue crab off the dock and several catfish. There was a good selection of fishing poles at the home. The beds were really comfortable and the two zoned air conditioner kept us nice and cool. The property felt safe and it is a very quiet neighborhood. The backyard porch had fans and was comfortable even on super hot days. The furniture outside was very comfortable and having the large TV outside was really great as well. There was a nice outlet mall about 20ish minutes away. We hit up the flea market (only open on Sundays) and had some delicious food from food trucks there and got some fresh produce. We would love to come back and highly recommend this lovely home!

Stayed Dec 28-Jan 9, 2023. Very nice private property. The kitchen had all of the essentials plus much, much more. All of the beds were very comfortable. It was perfect since it was our family Christmas together and the house was even decorated for holiday season. Plenty of room for the six of us. Beautiful sunrises, very nice pool and jacuzzi, and the lanai was terrific - spent most of our time outside on the patio. My husband caught nine catfish from the dock and we saw several dolphins from the dock. Would absolutely book again if we're traveling to the area.
