Plenty of room with multiple gathering places for fun and time alone. The pool and pool room are perfect. The dock and kayaks are fun. The bedrooms are comfy. Josie adds so many extras… a S’mores bar, snacks, Monsters, a coffee bar, cleaning supplies and more. Everything you need for an excellent trip is provided!!

We absolutely loved our stay here. Everything was provided, along with toiletries. There was so much to do at the home, we didn't leave much. The kids loved everything from the board games, the Nintendo Switch, the pool, and the kayaks. We even seen some dolphins out on the canal. The neighbors seem very friendly. Wonderful neighborhood! We would definitely stay here again!

We booked Hernando Hideaway for a few days to visit our adult children in the area. We were not disappointed with this great property! The house was very clean, comfortable and the hosts thought of everything! So organized! Lots to do and great outdoor areas. We rented a boat and used the fire pit. The s’mores kit was genius. We would rent again!

I stayed here for my bachelor party. Just trust me. This place is it. They thought of everything. I packed light and most of my bag space was taken up by groomsmen gifts. I walked in and they had all the toiletries I needed. Super clean and so much to do

This property is so clean and beautiful! They really thought of everything possible to provide a fun and relaxing environment. The pool is crystal clear and refreshing. Take a break from afternoon thunderstorms in the pool game room…plenty of games provided. From coffee bar, fully stocked kitchen, and toiletries to coolers, chairs, and towels for the beach…they have you covered. Even sunscreen and bug spray! We had fun crabbing on the dock and roasting marshmallows on the fire. All s’mores items provided as well. Amazing hosts! Thanks again for a great stay 😁

This home had everything you needed as well as things you didn’t even know you needed! We enjoyed the well organized kitchen, s’mores at the fire pit, the heated pool, relaxing bike rides. The dock was perfect for our boat as well as the canal being wide and deep enough to use with ease. Our group of employees and spouses fit perfectly in the large home with plenty of space to do our big group meals together. We had constant communication with the owners as they made sure our stay was perfect. We will be going back again with our kids and family during the summer and cannot wait to stay there!

Hernando Hideaway was spectacular! We traveled from Ohio with an 8month old and a 5 year old for a family vacation. The house was impressively stocked with everything you would need and more, specifically geared toward children. The attention to organization was out of this world! The cleanliness and non decor were the cherry on top. Josie was responsive to any question and concerns we had. 5 STAR property and host!

Loved loved loved this rental. Spent a long weekend at the house with 2 families, 4 kids and 4 adults. The property was well maintained and really catered to families. From the toiletries, the snack box, and the smore station, everything was well thought out. Josie was super responsive. And the location was perfect. Spent a day at Pine Island, a day at Weeki Wachee, and rented a pontoon for the day. Couldn't have asked for a better trip. Thank you so much!

When you reserve a VRBO, you hope that the home is as pictured and that it's clean enough to make you comfortable. This home exceeded all of my expectations and the pictures did not do it justice. This is a great place for a family. It is stocked with everything you need. We have never been in a vacation rental where so much thought was given to every space. The kitchen had everything you needed. The bathrooms were well stocked. The pool was crystal clear, there were yard games, fishing poles, plenty of seating in every location, and the fire area was a great option for a late winter evening. Thanks for a great week of relaxation! We very much enjoyed our stay and will look to you when we are in the area again.

We had the best time at Hernando Hideaway! Pool area was awesome. Fishing right off the dock was decent, nothing huge but kept the kids busy. We brought poles but they had them. When I say this place was stocked with all you need, I mean they seriously had it all! So much thought into everything that you might be like crap I forgot this, they had you covered. The bathroom caddy in each bathroom had toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, floss, finger nail clippers, tampons, loofas, lotion, and more! Each shower had shampoo, conditioner and body wash! The kitchen had an amazing coffee/tea bar, a snack station, and a bin with individual peanut butter, jelly, Nutella (family fave!), hot sauce, mayo, mustard, and ketchup. S’mores station stocked to anything you could need! They gave us the cutest little cooler with their logo on it ♥️ We are already taking about the time we will be going back. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing home withh us.

We have been visiting Florida 2 or 3 times a year for over 20 years, always staying in homes generally booked through this site or its predecessor. We’ve experienced the good, the bad, and the very poor over the years, and occasionally exceptional. The host is exceptional because prior to, during, and after our stay communication is prompt, responsive to any questions, informative and helpful, and cares. They do their utmost to ensure you have a great time at their property, not just secure another booking. The home is accurately described and photographed. It is in pristine condition. However, what are not shown are the personal touches and attention to detail by the host that are present throughout, and which make this home stand out from probably every other we have previously stayed in. They allowed us to arrive after flying several thousand miles, unpack, and start enjoying our vacation straight away. Truly exceptional. As we drove away at the end of our fantastic stay, one question lingered. Why can’t all hosts be this good?

There aren't enough words to describe our overall satisfaction with the host and property. From the moment we booked the trip, the host communicated with us to ensure we had what we needed. Upon arrival, the property was exceptionally equipped with every detail imaginable. The house location is ideal for boaters, with quick access to the Gulf by water and just a short drive to local restaurants and shopping. Once you are settled in the house, there isn't a reason to leave other than to enjoy the local waterways. If you are looking for a well-equipped property to relax or enjoy time with friends and family, then this is it. I want to thank the host for all that was provided and the assistance.

Hernando Hideaway was a perfect home for our family to rent for our Spring Break week! We had 2 families of 4 and there was plenty of room in the house for all of us. The hosts have thought of literally everything (blankets to cover up in the living room, pool towels, a s’mores station, kayaks near the canal, hammock chairs near the fire pit, couch and hammock on the top deck, lounge chairs, QR codes for the welcome book, a list of area attractions, branded fun screen- so many things!). Anything you could want in a vacation house is available at Hernando Hideaway. We stayed for 4 nights and wish our schedule would have allowed for more. Lazy Lizards is a local restaurant with fantastic food. We wanted a peaceful and relaxing vacation away from the busy city attractions and that is what we got- it was perfect. We will definitely try and stay here again.

This vacation rental was perfect for our family's annual scalloping trip. There was plenty of room for our family of four. The location is convenient to the marina and boat ramp as well as restaurants and grocery stores. We loved being able to dock our boat with quick access to the Golf and enjoy all the extras that made us feel at home. We enjoyed the stocked coffee and tea bar. The full s'mores station was a big hit for the kids as was the pool with all pool toys waiting for them. The hosts have thought of everything. Pack your clothes and food and the rest is covered. We will definitely be back next year!
