Ed was a great communicator and when I mentioned we had three boys ages 11, 9 and 9 and we were interested in bringing our bicycles he went out and bought three new bikes for the boys! We split time laying around the pool and investigating the local area and restaurants. We even chartered a fishing outing that took us 40 miles out into the gulf where we caught snapper, amberjack, grouper, grunts and hogfish. If you're looking for a great fishing outing get in touch with Mason at Royal Sea Excursions. We will certainly consider coming back next year at spring break! Thanks Ed. ##### mike h. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Xavier S. Mar 30, 2025 Liked: Location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Not as expected The hot tub and pool seemed smaller than expected. Kids still enjoyed pool. The hot tub was difficult to get running, I had to ask since there were no instructions. Food was left in dishwasher so it smelled horribly when we checked in. Some mold in cabinets, under beds very dusty as were closets. A dirty blanket was thrown in bedroom closet. The keurig had a coffee pod left in there for a VERY long time. The water reservoir was dirty and had mold in the lid. Told owner of mold and dirty issues at check in, so hopefully it was better for the next guests. Had to fill pool the day before we left, per owner request. ##### Xavier S. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vera M. Mar 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great winter getaway My husband and I stayed at this property for 6 weeks. We loved the house and all the different outdoor locations you can hang out depending on the weather. The kitchen was well stocked for preparing meals and the beds were comfortable. We liked sitting at the veranda and watching the fish jump in the canal. The jacuzzi was a big plus, since it wasn't necessarily pool weather in February. We also liked having the Weeki Wachee Preserve so close by to take bike rides and walks. The only complaint we have is that there was a lot of construction noise due to one neighbor renovating his house and the other installing an inground pool, but that is not something the owner was in control of. Ed was super responsive when we had questions, always got back to us right away and went out of his way to make our stay comfortable. ##### Vera M.
