Home away from home

We traveled as 3 couples for scallop season. Our main reason for choosing this property was location, 5 star reviews and bathrooms with each bedroom. Of note, we did slide the 2 twins together attached a mattress connector and brought a king sheet set and comforter from home to make it better for a couple. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook 3 full meals at home. Weber (charcoal) grill outback that was big enough for our group. Scallop cleaning station within walking distance was a bonus. The men loved the recliners for afternoon naps. The front porch swing was our favorite spot for morning coffee. Would recommend this property to any families or couples!

Amazing property, fabulous host

We have stayed at this lovely home many times through the years! It is definately a family favorite! This year, in particular, the owners/host went above and beyond to take care of us. We were notified before our arrival that they were having some difficulty with the fridge, which allowed us to plan a bit better and they were so accommodating to help us get it sorted out with lightening speed. So grateful and can’t wait to come back! A real gem of a property!

Fantastic home and location

This was our sixth year staying in The Landings and this was our favorite home so far. Just a short walk to the petting zoo and dock. The house was very spacious and comfortable for our 4 adults, 2 kids, and felt just like home. The host was great; Barry reached out several times to welcome us and to make sure we were enjoying our stay. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation. Thank you!

Awesome Stay

The home was so comfortable and homey! It had everything we needed and the location in the Landing is ideal. Near the boat docks, fire pit and petting zoo. We got our limit on scallops each day and even caught grouper offshore one day. Thanks for the awesome stay!

The Presidential Cottage at Steinhatchee Landing

We had a wonderful 7 nights in this beautiful and warm house! Everything had such personal touches. The updates were so appealing and it offered such a comfortable space. We especially loved that each of the three bedrooms had their baths. The living area and dining were even roomier than the pictures. The porches were extra special with their swings and views. Very convenient to the docks also. Extremely clean! Definitely would stay again!

The best place to stay @ Steinhatchee Landings

We've stayed at various places in Steinhatchee Landings and enjoyed them all but this one stands out from the rest. There is nothing that me or my family could say that should be different. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There is so much room as well as we could walk out the door to our boat. I would not change anything with these accommodations and I hope to stay there in the future. It was so nice for everyone to have their own bathroom. We will definitely be back.

Warm Welcome

The owner was very welcoming with good communication and taking care of little details like a bag of charcoal on the front porch and a fetch toy for our dog. We loved this clean and comfortable paradise that has convenient amenities which are both classic and stylish. Allowing us to bring our dog was a huge selling point. We are grateful to have the opportunity to stay in this charming home and hope to stay here again!
