About this property
Eagle Nest/Your Private Waterfront Escape on Florida's Nature Coast.
Wake up to the Gulf of Mexico, spend the day on the water, and end the evening watching an unforgettable Florida sunset from one of three private decks. Welcome to Eagle Nest.
This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath, three-story waterfront home sleeps up to 8 guests and offers breathtaking 180-degree views of the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding coastal marsh. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, fishing trip, girls’ weekend, or relaxing escape, Eagle Nest gives you the perfect home base for experiencing Florida’s Nature Coast.
Step outside and enjoy the water from nearly every level of the home. Each floor features its own spacious deck, giving everyone plenty of room to gather, dine, relax, or simply take in the spectacular sunsets.
Cool off in the private pool (or request to have it heated) overlooking the Gulf, launch one of the home’s two kayaks or stand-up paddleboard, or cruise around the area on the two complimentary beach cruiser bikes.
For the ultimate waterfront experience, Eagle Nest also features a large private dock (30 feet), perfect for fishing, watching wildlife, soaking up the sunshine, or bringing your own boat. Fishing equipment is not provided, but everything you need to get out on the water is conveniently nearby. A marina, boat ramp, bait shop, and other boating and fishing amenities are all within a half-mile of the home.
After a day on the water, head downstairs to the private bar area, complete with a mini-fridge—perfect for keeping drinks cold and enjoying a little downtime with your group.
And now, make your stay even more relaxing with private yoga sessions available upon request. What better way to start the morning than with yoga overlooking the Gulf?
Come for the Gulf views. Stay for the sunsets. Leave with memories you’ll want to come back for.
Eagle Nest is more than a vacation rental—it’s your private home base for exploring Florida’s Nature Coast.

We really enjoyed our stay. The place is as advertised and Heather was very attentive. The family really liked the wildlife interactions. We had a pair of Dolphins hang out at the dock for 5 to 10 minutes, made the trip for my daughters. Seen several manatees. The top deck was a favorite spot for the greats views of the Gulf.
This is our 5th visit, as it is close to home and perfect for a long weekend or a week! Great location and super cute house/decor. Looking forward to our 6th visit soon :)
It would be tough to find another rental at this price point with the amenities and proximity to the beach that this has. Perfect for a family of four!
This home is absolutely beautiful inside and out with an amazing view. The house was super clean and beautifully decorated! We will definitely be going back!
Our recent stay in Hernando Beach was wonderful. The house was clean and beautiful, with all the amenities we needed. We especially enjoyed sitting by the pool and taking our boat out to catch scallops. It was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend it.
This house was perfect for our group! The views are spectacular from the ground level and both balconies!! We cooked every meal at the house, with plenty of space for us to enjoy together time and alone time. We paddle boarded from the dock with lots of places to explore.
Great remote quiet spot for a family, kids loved the bunk room. Located on a tidal waterway, saw a manatee and lots of birds at low tide. Heated pool was a hit as the temps were 40 degrees at night. 3 Kayaks available to use from dock, pool floats available. Beach is about a 20 minutes drive but closed for bacteria during our stay. To access pool and laundry, a walk down to basement and out sliders (a bit difficult to open)to heated pool. The kitchen was well equipped.The layout:1st floor-master bedroom with bath with canal views2nd floor- 1 bedroom with canal views2nd floor-3rd bedroom with 2 sets bunk beds 2nd floor Bathroom in hall between 2 bedroomsLaundry and pool access in basementBring your binoculars- lots of birds and a manatee to watchSmall local Pine Island Beach about 20 minute drive.
We absolutely loved our stay. The house was clean and cozy. The kayaks we took out every day. Plenty of space on every deck to enjoy the view from all levels. We saw dolphins, stingrays, and manatees! Host was incredibly easy to get ahold of. Would definitely recommend staying here!
Last minute booking and needing to house a large family. This place was a perfect fit. Quiet street and direct waterfront made this place a perfect fit. The house was super clean and well equipped. We will definitely book again if available.
From the drive into the community where the house is, to the house/HOME itself… EVERYTHING was fantastic. Easy commute from airport and plenty to do or not do around. We fished, kayaked and enjoyed the serene view!!
Thank you Heather and family. We had a great family gathering!
We had a wonderful time
Heather was super easy to communicate with and we had no problems with anything
We swam in the pool, fished from the dock and caught fish, used the kayaks and bikes
Was amazed at how much the tide differed every day
The highlight of the trip was when we had a dolphin swim and spent a good ten minutes right around the dock
We also had manatees swim by everyday
We checked out a few of the local restaurants and all of them were delicious
We will defiantly try to get back sometime
Thanks again Heather for sharing your place
Beautiful clean place with lots to do for our family with kids. The sunsets were beautiful and it was great to have so many amenities. Heather responded quickly to questions. The only bummer was that the pool heater was broken and since we were visiting in the winter the water was too cold to swim. Would definitely check if it’s fixed if I were to come back.
This is our second year staying at Heather's beautiful home in Hernando Beach. We absolutely LOVE everything about it. It fits our family needs so well. Two teenage kids. We fish, kayak, rent a pontoon and spend time at the Flats. Lots of dolphins and manatees this year. Thank you for a perfect stay. Christmas was perfect again!

This place was amazing and my whole family loved it. First the view from both balconies was breath taking. The sunsets were gorgeous. There was ample space for all 6 of us there with plenty of bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked and a great place to make meals. The only thing we were missing was a blender. The decor was very pleasing and the owner took time in making it feel so homey. We enjoyed the outdoor space by the pool and loved the dock and deck spaces as well. The owner was easy to get in touch with and was very prompt in getting back with me. Overall, this was an amazing place with the most gorgeous sunsets. I would highly recommend staying here.
We had a fantastic time. The place is beautiful first of all, and the view is amazing. There was always something to do so we never had the feeling that we needed to go somewhere else. Between swimming, kayaking, or fishing (with our own poles), we also had down time watching movies, playing games such as checkers or Uno, or reading books. There was a lovely book about flower arrangement that I enjoyed. There were also some toys to keep my 11-month old happy and preoccupied. Great place! We would love to do it again.
Relaxing Birthday Getaway- Outdoor living at its best!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful gulf front home with spectacular views and welcoming outdoor living spaces! We enjoyed the pool, use of the kayaks and standup paddleboard. (Note: It's easier to get on and off water vessels during high tides) We brought fishing equipment and caught lots of fish right off the huge dock. (Bait shop was right up the road.)
Loved the privacy being on a cul-de-sac at the end of the canal with full view of the sunsets, that were simply amazing! We enjoyed the boats and wildlife going by while sitting on every level of the house! We saw dolphins every day, even from the kitchen window! We even saw a manatee, and that made my trip complete!
Lastly, kitchen had everything we needed to make a few meals. We checked in and headed right to Publix to stock up (there is also a Wal-mart close by). We also stopped by local specialty shop, Cupcake Heaven, for special cupcakes to celebrate my daughter and my shared birthday. Highly recommend!
I would definitely recommend this house to friends and family!
The pictures of the sunset don't do the views justice! The sunsets are amazing and we have so many pictures of the beauty! We were able to do some fishing off the dock and even did some kayaking. Had a hiccup the first day on arrival as the internet wasn't working. I was able to put my IT skills to work and get the new modem and router setup. Spoke to Heather and her husband and they were very quick to respond and we were able to get it fixed that first day.
It is a quiet neighborhood which was nice and we were able to spend time at the pool watching the kids (and joining them) swimming. The gas grill worked as it should and I was able to cook a few meals on there.
The outside TV by the pool wasn't working. I did text Heather and she responded right away, but I never did anything with it as we didn't need to have the TV on out there.
Overall this place was a nice relaxing stay!! I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
We spent 10 days here and it was exactly what we were looking for! The house was exactly as advertised and matched the reviews from others, and the pool was perfect, neighborhood is quiet and the views are amazing. We had daily visits from a couple dolphins and saw manatees from the dock!There are really good restaurants close by, Spring Hill is 10 minutes away with all shopping needs, Tampa Airport is an hour away and we went kayaking up Weeki Wachee springs and saw manateesWe would absolutely rent again!
Great views, lots of wildlife, heated pool, fenced yard, lots of privacy, fishing right off the dock. We enjoyed Christmas week with our adult kids relaxing, cooking, listening to music, puzzling,and enjoying the outdoors. We are from the area and would definitely stay here again. Thank you!
