Off Duty Retreat ~ Sleeps 10, Screen Porch, Plenty of Parking, 1 Block to Ramp!

Clear your calendar and get ready for an Off Duty retreat in Steinhatchee, Florida. You can unplug and relax with the whole family at this peaceful place. Please note we strive to create a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all of our guests. While we understand that pets are part of the family, we have a firm "NO PETS" policy in place. Your home-away-from-home is in a quiet neighborhood. That means you can sleep in on those days that you aren't getting up early to head out. Grab your coffee and head out to the screen porch to get your day started peacefully. Breakfast can be enjoyed at home or a few minutes away with several restaurant options available. Enjoy your day in our little fishing community, fishing, scalloping, shopping, hiking, golf cart exploring, taking a drive to the beach or nothing at all. When the day is winding down come back "Home" for a quick shower and enjoy a home-cooked meal prepared in our fully stocked kitchen. Would you rather cook outside? Great, you can cook on a gas grill (gas provided) or charcoal grill (please bring your favorite charcoal). Not in the mood to cook? No worries, you must try the best local seafood and cocktails around. Several of our favorite restaurants are only a few minutes away. Don't forget to watch for the most amazing sunsets! Insider tip, our favorite spot only 10 minutes away is Roy's Restaurant parking lot. Don't forget the bug spray!

~ NO PET POLICY ~
We strive to create a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all of our guests. While we understand that pets are part of the family, we have a firm "NO PETS" policy in place for our vacation rental. This decision has been made for several reasons, including:
• Allergies: Many individuals experience allergies to pet dander and fur. Even with thorough cleaning, it can be difficult to guarantee a completely allergen-free environment for future guests.
• Property Maintenance: Maintaining the pristine condition of our property is a priority. Pet hair, scratches, and potential accidents can sometimes lead to damage that requires extensive cleaning or repairs.
• Neighbor Considerations: We want to be respectful of our neighbors and the surrounding community. While well-behaved pets are wonderful, unfamiliar environments can sometimes lead to increased barking or other disturbances.
• Insurance Requirements: Our insurance policy for this vacation rental specifically prohibits pets on the property. This is a non-negotiable requirement for maintaining our coverage and protecting the property.

We understand this policy may be disappointing for some, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience it may cause. We hope you understand and appreciate our efforts to ensure a pleasant and comfortable stay for all our guests.

We understand and respect the rights of individuals with disabilities who require the assistance of a SERVICE ANIMAL. We require that guests notify us of their intention to bring a service animal PRIOR to making a reservation. This pre-approval process allows us to confirm the animal is a trained service animal, make the necessary preparations and address any potential concerns.

If you have any questions or need assistance finding pet-friendly accommodations in the area, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're happy to help in any way we can.

Mom

We enjoyed our stay. Can’t complain about a thing. Plenty of parking and beds. There was an overwhelming smell of the home (moth balls). It was a tad much.

Great place for large group

The place was great for our group of 9 scallopers. The back room was a bit warm for the kids but there was a fan they used in addition to the ceiling fan. FYI the place has a moth ball smell that's fairly strong. I would stay there again.

Steinhatchee scalloping trip

House was great and it fit our group well. The back room did get a little hot for the kids but we brought some fans. All in all it was a great place to stay. Great place for a large group.

Nice Get Away

We were a group of 9, we all come to fish. It provides plenty of space and the hot water lasted through all of us daily. The porch was a huge win for our family. There was plenty of room for 3 trucks and boats which is always a win. We would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Ana

Host profile image
After vacationing in Steinhatchee and falling in love with this "old Florida fishing town" we just had to take the leap and purchase a home for ourselves. We are thrilled to be able to share it as a vacation rental as well. Retired from the Sheriff's Department we wanted to offer a place to rest, relax, unplug and enjoy. To first responders that is called being Off Duty! Our home has the Off Duty theme to honor and respect the professions that have most recently been under attack. No one fights alone as long as we all stand together!

Why they chose this property

Our little neighborhood is quiet yet close to all the fun activities Steinhatchee has to offer. We have a wonderful mixture of permanent residences and rentals. Bring your golf cart or rent one while you are here to enjoy zipping around to grab a must have from Dollar Tree/Dollar General only a few blocks away, when you are hungry and don't feel like cooking you can head over to Kathi's Krab Shack (FYI - our favorite! only a few blocks away) or you can take a longer ride to Roy's Restaurant to watch the sunset.

What makes this property unique

We invite you to be our guest. Clock out or rather go "Off Duty" and come over to enjoy the beauty of Steinhatchee. Our hope is that Off Duty Rentals offers you, your family, friends or coworkers a place to gather and create some amazing memories. Come enjoy food, fun, laughter and sometimes even tears. Enjoy the amazing fishing and scalloping that this area has to offer. Bring your golf cart or rent one here. There are so many great places for you to eat, drink, shop or just sit and watch the most amazing sunsets! Our screened porch has been a guests' favorite for the adults while the children enjoy our "Medical" bedroom with all the toys, games and big TV. You won't have a problem with parking either, take a look at our driveway!
