My wife, Sandy, is an elementary school teacher and we needed to find a nice place to relax and chill over her Spring Break. Well, we found it. Ed, the owner, was most gracious and wanted to make sure we had a great time. He was very easy to talk to and gave us pointers on a few things around the house. It was well stocked, very clean, the hot tub/pool was fantastic, and plenty to do around the area. Very enjoyable and we hope to be back to The Waters Edge soon. ##### Rob D.

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.

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.

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 #### Karen B.

But Ed came through for us and we had an amazing time at his house! We had to wait out the storm in Georgia so we missed the first two nights at the house. Ed was so easy to work with and kept in constant communication about the weather conditions. He immediately refunded those two nights since it wasn’t safe for us to be in the area. The area was horribly affected but Ed’s house was built high enough and the pool survived too. The house is beautiful, well stocked, has all the amenities and was exactly what we were looking for. The pool and spa were amazing. Everything was clean, beds were comfortable and the house is just as pictured. Ed responded immediately to all of our concerns. If it weren’t for our constant communication, we may have cancelled the trip with the storm coming. But we knew what was going on through it all. He even bought a crockpot when I asked him ahead of time if they have one! We will definitely stay there again! ##### Karen B.

The house was spacious, spotlessly clean and decorated to an extremely high standard; the beds were very comfortable and as for the surroundings, the pool, the pier and the yard, you would never have guessed that Hurricane Idalia had swept through only a few days previously. All was pristine – with plenty of comfortable seats to enjoy the sunshine. Kayaks and bicycles were provided, although we never made use of them. Plenty of catfish available from the pier though – we left a rod for others to use Ed was very responsive when we had a small problem with the entry code on arrival and the issue was speedily resolved. Similar immediate help was given with starting up the pool spa and thereafter we encountered no more problems during our stay. The home is situated in a quiet residential area, where we felt very safe taking a stroll early morning. Shops and restaurants were only a short drive away. The surrounding countryside was stunning - woodlands and wetlands bordering the quieter roads. If it were possible to give this place more than five stars, we would certainly do so. Thank you so much, Ed, for sharing your wonderful home. Were we not now getting too old for transatlantic flights, we would be back next year for sure! ##### Dennis M.
