May 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great place on the river Great location on the river with a boat ramp 50 yards away to launch our 22' bay boat. The house is a bit dated so if you like fancy look elsewhere. We absolutely loved it because of the great back yard and back porch, the large dock and river view, and the boat ramp. We were rarely there except to sleep or shower, the rest of the time was spent on the boat at the springs or fishing out in gulf. If you bring a boat here, bring 100' of extension cord to plug in your battery chargers as there is no power on or near the dock. ##### Jimmy N.

Aug 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Riverfront retreat First off, the hosts were very pleasant very responsive and easy to work with. I would book with them again. The property was larger than expected for the area. I was able to park my 4Runner and trailer there with ease and options. The boat dock was well placed and well maintained. The house had several coffee pots which was great because I am a drip coffee guy. There were 2 refrigerators and an ice machine across the main street. Restaurants upon restaurants that you can take the boat to or drive. The kitchen was full and clean. The seawall was lengthy and we saw a few manatees and lots of dolphins. The property is situated right across from the spring which was just a short boat ride. This place is awesome. ##### Connie C.

We truly need enjoyed our week at this home. The view is beautiful and most of the week it was quiet and peaceful. During the weekend there was a lot of boat traffic but we enjoyed watching that too! We saw manatees almost daily swim by the house and the last 2 days dolphins swam right up along the wall of the property. We had a blue heron that visited us daily whom we named Ricky. He did receive a few snacks from us when he visited. From the deck we caught catfish, a sting ray, gar, a large mouth bass, and 2 sharks! The area has several great restaurants and we enjoyed many of them. It is wonderful that the house comes with kayaks and we did take them out. My only suggestion for those is perhaps some upgraded seating pads to place in them or maybe it is the way those particular tandem kayaks were designed but they are very uncomfortable. The single kayak was great. The house had everything we needed and is spacious. It could use some updating, but it did not effect our comfort or stay. Check out instructions are a little more than typical for cleaning, no cleaning fee. However, if you’re trying to cut out early in morning in front of a very long drive this could delay you. Larger washer is needed to fit all the towels and sheets before departure. Overall, we are glad we selected this home and location. We had a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing your home with us. ##### Jennifer W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael T. Aug 14, 2023 Liked: Location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Ridiculous Expectations The home is as advertised, simple, nothing spectacular but a great location, great price. Had to call a few times to get the door code but no biggie.Ray and Barbs expectations for house conditions upon check out are a little ridiculous. I understand that, no cleaning fee was charged, and rule is to "Clean as you found it." Before we checked out, we cleaned/wiped the home, placed all linens in washer machine. Clean the dishes, cleaned the backyard, return items to shelves. We did everything short of cutting the grass. But they found "poop on the floor" outside of the toilet. Yeah right. Supposedly they found trash on the floor. Yes I moved the furniture around a bit, it's not like I moved it across the house. I think in order to satisfy Ray and Barb, you better take pictures of everything in the house as you arrive. Make a comparisons before you leave. Because there's a good chance they will "say" something wasn't as you found it. ##### Michael T. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Bill M.

Nov 20, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The view, porch & space are great! The birds were fun and we did see a dolphin at the deck.The sunrises were were gorgeous! The negatives were that the place needs a spring cleaning as there was lots of dust, especially on the curtains and window sills. The sofas are shorter than normal and the window chairs have seen better days. We enjoyed the stay in spite of the those things. Swinging on the porch, watching the river was very peaceful. ##### Marsha L. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Betty H.
