About this property

Tidewater: Bring your boat, backyard beach,kayaks.

  • Come experience the joys of Tidewater! This beautifully renovated home offers direct access to the Gulf, nestled between a serene salt marsh and a charming canal. Whether you seek the tranquility of nature or the thrill of jet skiing, this amazing spot has it all. Feel the warm sand between your toes and create unforgettable memories with loved ones.

    This home has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to six guests.

    For your convenience, there is a 10' x 22' floating dock available. You can launch your boat at the Hernando County public boat ramp and then motor over to the house—it's a short trip. When docking, be aware of potential rocks in the canal and make sure to check the tides. It is easiest to navigate larger boats during mid- to high tides.

    The driveway can comfortably accommodate a boat trailer up to 25 feet long, as it is approximately 30 feet long. Trailers longer than 25 feet may need to be stored off the property; please check local marinas for storage options.

Beautiful home in Hernando Beach! This place is an absolute gem! We loved our stay. The location is unbeatable. We have spent countless weekends in Hernando Beach and this home was by far our best stay! We even had a Mama and baby dolphin visit us in afternoon. Definitely recommend 10 out of 10. We will be back 100%.

The host was welcoming. The home was beautiful with everything we needed. Lovely kitchen, cozy living room, nice dining area with view of the canal. The outdoor space was nice but the weather was a little chilly so we didn’t get to enjoy as much as we would have liked. This is a place we would definitely stay at again!

We had a wonderful stay, despite the gale force winds and chilly temperatures that were there when we arrived. There was a welcome basket with snacks, which we appreciated. We especially enjoyed the K pods with hot cocoa. The view of the canal was spectacular and the decor was beautiful. We took advantage of the Kayaks and used them to paddle down the canal. So much fun!

What a lovely home! Beautifully decorated, full of light, wonderful water views, and well stocked with everything needed to feel truly like a home away from home! I really appreciated the coffee bar stocked with coffee pods, creamer and vanilla syrup! Bathrooms were spacious and well appointed with helpful items (makeup wash clothes, q-tips, room deodorizing spray, bandaids, etc) provided. Lisa was amazing to communicate with and very responsive. We felt very welcomed and comfortable throughout our stay!

Our family really enjoyed staying at Tidewater. Lisa was so easy to communicate with. They have such a gem and they really take pride in their home. It was really clean and equipped with little things that you didn’t even think about. We stayed here for my husband birthday because he wanted a place to relax and fish and this long weekend hit every need. And we truly felt like we were home. We want to plan another trip to their home and stay longer.
