About this property

Direct Gulf Access, SolarHeated Salt Water Pool, kayaks, pool table, 2 lvg areas

60 minutes to Tampa or 90 minutes to Clearwater or Orlando, you can enjoy all the amenities of big city life including, spectacular beaches, amusement parks, world class shopping and a bustling night life and then return to the picturesque town of Hernando Beach resting in Florida's nature coast, to enjoy the slow and relaxed pace that is Florida!
While here you can enjoy the small-town feel, check out the numerous nature and wildlife preserves, many local restaurants, walk along the white sandy beach of Pine Island, enjoy stunning sunsets and fish at the many local fish parks. Kayak or swim with the manatee in the crystal clear Weeki Wachee Springs. Our house includes a 16 ft. dock to tie boats or jet skis to. Bring your own or rent one from one of our local marinas, minutes from our house. We are situated in a deep-water canal with direct access to the gulf, where you can enjoy the world class fishing, including tarpon, and scalloping. Otherwise meander through the canals on the kayaks we provide and take in all the scenery you can handle.
Our house sleeps 10 very comfortably in 5 private bedrooms. Sliding doors on the upper deck fold back completely to enjoy the indoor/outdoor living.
From an in-ground Solar heated pool to cool off in, just relax with a yummy drink, fish, or just take in the water view with visits from manatee to dolphins and ducks it is the perfect place to kick off your shoes, leave your worries behind and relax.
Hernando Beach is the perfect vacation or winter escape!

Swim with Manatee’s

We were so pleased with this property. My 2 grandsons (18 & 19) enjoyed one night of hanging out and playing pool. It was peaceful and roomy with the living space downstairs. Can’t wait to return to this paradise.

I recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay with numerous people! We will be booking again for next year as well!

Wonderful

My family and I had a wonderful stay. The cabin had more then enough room for our family to move around with out anyone feeling crowded. My favorite part of the home is the sliders that open up. So much sun shining thru all day. We didn't spend much time inside but when we did it was nice to have so much sun coming in . Only downside was the pool was never warm enough to swim in. 70 degrees and below. Over all we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it

Great location

Our family/extended family (11 of us) spent Christmas here and overall, really enjoyed ourselves. The home is located in a great neighborhood. This was our first time to this part of FL and we found some great things to do! We used the house fishing poles and really enjoyed fishing from the dock. The deck condition is fair so we stayed off of that but the floating dock is great! As others have mentioned the owner David was easy to connect with. Our one and only complaint was the cleanliness of the home. We spent part of the first day cleaning the fridge and floors. For this reason, I rated the home 4 stars.

Very nice, spacious home with many amenities.

Close to many great restaurants, which was very nice! Home is spacious & well stocked with staples for your stay. Owners are friendly and helpful with any issues. Refrigerator freezer leaked all over the floor due to ice buildup. Above counter wall outlet for coffeemaker kept tripping the breaker. Dishwasher kept stopping during cycles & we had to keep re-starting it. Oven was dirty & crusty inside, with thick cob webs around oven door. Some skillets has burnt, crusted food on them. Refrigerator had thick cob webs around the door openings. (As if the cleaning service had not thoroughly cleaned for quite some time.) We did address a few issues with the owner & he was very courteous & stated the issues would be addressed. Home was well-stocked with beach towels & a few beach chairs, which was nice. 3 kayaks provided - one was missing the plug. Home was full of tiny ants - which we were told the small ants were abundant in Florida all the time (however, we never encountered ants at a previous VRBO rented home in Springhill the prior year). Everyone who stayed here for the week went home with bug bites all over their bodies. We wondered if this could be sand fleas. But it is a gorgeous, spacious home with a nice view of the canal & homes across the canal.

Property was as advertised & the owners were quick to respond. Plenty of room for everyone & the pool table kept us busy on the rainy afternoons. Nice quiet deep canal, great neighbors & having the empty lot next door made parking boat trailers a breeze.

Amazing home, we will be back next year for sure

The dishes that were washed by last tenants were dirty and everything need to be rewashed. The trash can was over flowing but I contacted David and he ordered a second trash can. Out of all the place we have ever stayed in the area for over 10yrs, this has the most kitchen supplies, everything you need to cook at home. The coffee maker has a kerig feature but is very slow. The pool was a nice way to cool off after scalloping all day. The dock cleat did break, but David said he would send someone out to fix it. David was very very helpful with questions or concerns. We will be back next year!

Nice house in quiet neighborhood

We recently spent seven weeks in the Moore’s home in Hernando beach. We enjoy this area and loved being on the canal. We liked the openness of the main level with the two dining areas. There are three bedrooms (Q, D, 2T) and two baths on this level. The screened porch off the living room is very spacious. The laundry room is on this level, so no going up and down stairs to do the wash. The kitchen is spacious and well stocked. While the description of the property appears to be an old one (it has not been recently renovated and the furniture is not new), overall, the pictures and information are fairly accurate. Downstairs are two bedrooms (Q,Q) and a bath (which is in one of the bedrooms) and a great room with a dining table, billiards table, TV and refrigerator. This area is accessed through an indoor stairway and then through the garage. We found the beds to be comfortable. The dining room and living room furniture have seen better days. The seats, for the most part, sag to the point they are uncomfortable and you have to work to get up. Of the 6 chairs on the pool deck, 4 were broken. There are three kayaks, but they are pretty beat up. There are no handles or ropes so they are difficult to handle and at least one takes on water (inside the hull). The paddles are held together with duct tape. The owners were very quick to respond to our questions. Some of our problems they were able to troubleshoot and were easily resolved. Those they could not, they said they would take care of when they come in May. There are quite a few small items that need repair/replacing. The biggest disappointment about this house was the cleanliness. The kitchen and baths and laminate floor were pretty clean on our arrival, but there was a lot that was not. The carpets may have been vacuumed, but there are many stains and they are very dirty. There are smears and dust on the walls. The upholstered furniture has stains and smells of much use. Lots of crumbs, candy and nuts under the couch cushions. Dog hair in corners and nose prints on windows. There are many other indicators that minimal cleaning is done between tenants. We let the owners know and they did tell us they are having problems with their cleaners. Overall, it was a nice place and we would definitely consider coming back once the repairs and cleaning issues were resolved.

Plenty of beds great set up for 20 somethings downstairs. To cold to enjoy the Kayaks . Would have liked a lounge chair and table by the pool but we made due without. Thank you for a great stay!!

Great Waterfront Location With Pool

This was a great property and as previous reviewers have stated, this home is not the newest and has does have some things that can be updated (doors, pool deck, etc..) However, we loved the water access, pool and the provided kayaks were a nice bonus. Unfortunately the owners did not come across in their communication as the most accommodating. We stayed for a week and there was just one toilet paper roll in each bathroom. When I messaged asking where we can find more toilet paper, I received a short answer that stated "we do not supply toilet paper, Walmart is your best bet." Overall everything was good and as described, I personally just like when I spend 2K+ for a stay, to feel like the host wants to take care of any and all issues I may have. (I only messaged twice once about asking where the towels were and the second asking about more toilet paper but both times the answers were very short)
