The "Little" Stilt House gets a "Big" thumbs up

We have booked via VRBO in Hawaii, London, Tybee Island, and Rhode Island and have been pleased each time. We booked the house for a week after a western Caribbean cruise with the intention to visit family in the Spring Hill area. The house was ideally located on a canal with boat access and close to restaurants. Unfortunately, we could not take advantage of the kayaks or bikes due to the cooler weather. Location was convenient to many shopping venues. Our host, Steve, was very responsive to any questions we had, and we took advantage of his restaurant recommendations. The house was well appointed, and we were encouraged to help ourselves to the beverage cooler (thanks Steve!)All in all, it was a great experience, my wife did not want to leave, and we would happily rent again

Canal side cottage

The house was exactly as described and was very comfortable for our 3 week stay. I was a bit surprised that Hernando Beach has no beach but that's on me for not doing my homework. Even so, the house was a great base for our activities including kayaking, hiking in the preserve and side trips to the beach. The owner was super easy to deal with and so responsive to our questions and concerns. There are several waterside restaurants within walking distance with movies and shopping just a short drive away.

Lack of maintenance doesn’t outweigh location!

During my wife’s 18 day stay: •The water was shut off for lack of payment! •The house Air Conditioning stopped working!! My wife had to cancel Sunday plans to be available when the repair man came the following day. The AC guy said he makes many visits a year to the house and the owner refuses all long-term fix suggestions. •Directv displayed the message that the service would be shut off if payment wasn't made within 5 days. Other minor things that distracted from the location: •No light upon arrival requiring my wife to use here cell phone light to climb the outside stairs and gain entry to the house. •Shower hot/cold control is reversed. This means the hotter your shower the lower the pressure due to the reversal. The local property manager said the owner knows this is an issue. •No house description folder – only flyers for local restaurants. It took two days to figure out the place had Directv because that remote was somewhere else in the house, not with the TV Remote. My wife was extremely patient because she didn’t want to interrupt her vacation and find another place to stay. There was also the “no refund” policy that turned out to be more important to the owner than anything else. We contacted VRBO after the stay and they said they would talk to owner and see if they could get us a day’s refund for inconvenience, the owner said no and said he didn’t understand where the problem was, he quickly responded to all the issues. Vacationer beware the risks!

The perfect vacation spot

My boyfriend and I were attending a friend's wedding and decided to stay in the area to vacation before heading back home. I looking at available properties in the area, and this location caught my eye. I'm SO glad it did, because we both feel in love. The inside of the house is very modern and has a sea theme throughout. The view of the gulf being just outside was absolutely stunning. Every morning we had a cup of coffee outside on the backyard patio. We also enjoyed a night of stargazing. There were opportunities to kayak, bike, or even snorkle thanks to the amenities provided. My boyfriend and I didn't want to leave. The property manager was super friendly and easy to get ahold of which we really appreciated. We would love to come back!!
