This property was absolutely gorgeous. We stayed the month of March 2024 for a break from Wisconsin winter. As a long term rental we can say the beds were comfortable! The home is nicely maintained & decorated. Every day we spent out time watching wildlife! Many species of birds, dolphins and even an alligator! Most enjoyable were the magnificent sunsets! The area is convenient to stores, restaurants and breweries. We found every thing we needed & more. Dave & Kelly were wonderful hosts. We are planning our trip for next year! ##### Gary W.

(Better) This property is amazing. Although inside the home was really nice we spent very little time inside. We spent most of our time sitting on the dock, under the pavilion and on the upper porch. We also kayaked and fished several hours each day. The sunsets EVERY night were indescribable. The hosts checked on us several times just to make sure everything was perfect. Which it was. I highly recommend this property. ##### Jay B. Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan D.

Every day was filled with excitement. We went kayaking, canoeing and fishing on the gulf. Loved eating fresh fish caught right off the dock. We spent a day explored the many beaches nearby. Enjoyed our visit to Tarpon Springs shopping, dining and exploring the Sponge Docks. We went to the mermaid show and also took the private boat tour thru the Weeki Wachee Spring enjoying boating, swimming and watching the manatees. Some of our crew even braved spending another day exploring the springs on their own. Every night we watched the most beautiful sunset. A great time was had by all ##### Susan D.

Apr 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stayed 04/13-04/19/25 This property was beautiful, clean, and fully stocked with cookware, utensils, condiments and toiletries. If you are planning to visit within the Hernando Beach area, this house was very conveniently located. My husband and two teenage kids found this property online. I was a little skeptical because several of our days were going to be spent in Tampa, Clearwater and St. Petersburg which are about 1-1.5 hours away. This was a bit of a drive but wasn't too bad. The days spent at the home were relaxing with a fantastic view, plenty of fishing, kayaking/canoeing, and swimming. There was a separate bedroom and bathroom that could only be accessed by going outside. We didn't know this when initially renting the property. The kids wanted their own bedroom but they ended up sharing the bedroom with two beds so we all could stay within the house. The detached bedroom/bath may be an issue for a family with many small kids however. The beds were comfortable with plenty of additional blankets and a nice full size washer and dryer were available. All in all, this was a great property to stay at. ##### Laura C. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa W. May 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Vacation This place is amazing. Such a beautiful home and property. We loved how much room we had, no other houses right next to us. Water literally surrounds most of the property. We enjoyed awesome sunsets, beautiful views, lots of nature. Had a few visitors including a turkey, some humming birds, and a young Anhinga by the dock our son got to pet. The grandkids had a blast swimming, kayaking and fishing with Papa. The fishing was slow, but as my husband says "That's Fishing" I think everyone caught a sheephead, few mangrove snapper, and a couple catfish. This was the perfect setup for our family, could not have been more relaxing. Dave and Kelly were wonderful host, very attentive. Dave even reached out to let me know he was going to be in town a few days if we needed any thing. Overall a wonderful trip, just wish we could have stayed longer!! Will definitely be back! I highly recommend this home, and the host for your family!! ##### Lisa W.
