Land's End

I have been coming to this area for a number of years and this was my best stay EVER. This home is stunning and feels bright and airy. Everything you need from the kitchen to the outdoor amenities is complete and top quality. The views and design of the space allows for everyone to enjoy their time without being on top of each other. The neighbourhood is very quiet and peaceful. Of course the manatees under the dock are very special! Tailor and Deb are excellent hosts responding to texts immediately with solutions or information. They went out of their way to accommodate my grand baby who loved the house too! I highly recommend this property.

Comfortable, relaxing stay

We really enjoyed our time at Deb’s house! The kayaks & stand up paddle board were great, and most of the swim with manatee tours congregate a fairly short distance from the house. It was super easy to paddle out there, and we saw more manatees exploring on our own than we did on the group tour with River Ventures. We even saw a manatee right off the house dock one night! The house has lots of comfortable areas to relax, and TONS of towels. I highly recommend this property.

Perfect stay

Can’t emphasize how good this location is. This home is a couple blocks from the Three Sisters springs and many great restaurants. The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. The deck allows you to kayak right from the home and the fishing is amazing! Highly recommend!!

So much better than pictures can convey

This lovely house is a gem, with a large Florida room overlooking the water on this short inlet off King’s Bay. We were there to see the manatees in March, the end of their time there, and our best sightings were in the bay near the house (on the kayaks provided, not far from the dock.) I seldom right reviews but this house deserves one. The pictures do not do it justice. I would include my own, but they also fall short. The location is amazing. We paddled all the way to 3 sisters one day just for sport but it was hardly necessary for manatee sightings. I have never before stayed in any VRBO so perfectly appointed for guests. There were ample towels, even specific face towels, blankets, extra pillows, outdoor seating, fire pit, outdoor lighting, woodpile for a fire, lighter, etc. We made use of the kakays, which were excellent. It felt that the hosts had literally thought of everything. Also, hats off to whoever cleans this place. It was immaculate, which is hard to achieve on a waterfront property.

Great VRBO

The VRBO was clean, easy to find, and very comfortable. The host communicated quickly and the check in and check out instructions were simple to follow. All and all one of the nicest VRBOs I've stayed at.

Lovely, special spot

Charming cottage in a quiet neighborhood, right on a canal with direct access to Kings Bay. My sisters and I spent 4 days here on a manatee trip and really enjoyed our stay. Paddle right off the dock. Large outdoor seating area by the water. Comfortable accommodations with every thing we needed. Saw manatees right off the dock every day of our trip. We would stay here again — I was sad to leave!

Amazing short stay at this exceptionally clean, cute property. The host was great at communicating with us and anticipating our needs. Left out extra blankets and checked to be sure we knew how to work the heat. We saw tons of manatee at nearby springs and right out of the canal while kayaking. Even caught the Christmas boat parade. heat since heat simce

Perfect Thanksgiving

This property was amazing. We had a wonderful time exploring the waterways in the provided kayaks. The house and surroundings were pristine. We spent most of our time sitting at the large table by the water and in the evening by the fire pit. The house was just the right size and space for us all.Very clean and plenty of stocked items.

THE HOME WAS THE NICEST ONE IN THE AREA. THE YARD WAS SPOTLESS AND THE INSIDE WAS JUST AS CLEAN. THE ACCESS TO WATER WITH KAYAKS WAS AMAZING. THE MANATEE TOUR AT FUN 2 DIVE WAS AWESOME.
