It was awesome having the boat right there on the dock, ready to go - right on the Gulf. Pontoon was perfect for our needs and we even had some fun on the second boat, a Seadoo. Much easier to use than I thought and lots of fun. There are some excellent charter fishing guides in the area. House has everything you need to relax. Dave and Ashley took great care of us.

The outside area is phenomenal, much better than the pictures show. It has a cooks kitchen, if cooking on vacation is your thing.We had issues with the air conditioning and am not at all satisfied with the way it was handled. We let them know just after noon on Sunday that there was an issue where the living room/ two bedroom area was reaching extreme indoor temperatures. At one point it maxed at at 82 degrees. He did have a window unit delivered, and my son installed, Monday night st 9 PM and the repairman came and fixed it late Tuesday. So almost half the trip had the upstairs at super warm temps. With the price we paid to stay here, I certainly expected more. With what we paid, just get someone there to get the problem fixed, prior to being almost halfway thru our trip. Also, we had to keep inquiring as to the status and I didn’t feel like we should have to do that. Simply communicate so we would know what was going on.Had we not had the AC issues, it would have been a much better experience. I understand that things happen, but you should tend to them quickly. ##### Denise C. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert J. Feb 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location with amazing combination of features This home is in a very quiet upscale neighborhood and has amazing features. The pool/patio area looks like a resort, 2 screen porch areas overlook the water, and the basement bar room with pool table provide lots of entertainment. We stayed for 5 weeks in Jan/Feb and saw dolphins almost every day. Fishing from the dock was productive but bigger fish were in deeper water or near the creeks so didn’t keep anything. Lots of great hiking trails and state parks in the area that were dog friendly (Weeki Wachee nature preserve is amazing). As a rental some aspects of the home are a bit tired and worn but hosts are very responsive and the location and features offset any negatives. We would definitely return and look forward to exploring more of the nature coast. ##### Robert J. Stayed 35 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JENNY T.

Enough room and privacy for family gatherings. Recommend renting the pontoon to visit the flats; take a right straight into the channel and you won't miss it. Good local food; Lazy Lizard has great food and atmosphere. Host responded a couple days after our reservation but made sure we were good during our stay. Coffee makers could use some cleaning. Overall great stay. ##### JENNY T.
