Perfect for our Group

We loved this property and this house worked out perfectly for our group of seven. There was enough common space to be together and plenty of other quiet space for privacy, if desired. Our favorite was the pool and hot tub area along with the canal waterway! Had fun watching the birds, dolphins, fish and even a manatee. Caught one blue crab in the traps that are onsite but decided after naming him we would let him go. :-) This home was very clean, the kitchen was very well equipped (including spices) and there were plenty of towels which were also in great condition. Carol was very easy to work with and accommodating during the reservation process. I will say this house is difficult for anyone with mobility issues, i.e. wheelchair or scooter. We did end up making some ramps that would allow moving through the doorways which had large frames that you had to step over. We did leave them onsite and hopefully they will keep them there for others. The elevator inside was extremely appreciated. We were also a bit disappointed with the lower level game room area. The lighting isn't good and it's just not a comfortable area - which is very different than the rest of the house. The slot machines didn't work and the video games weren't great. We appreciated the twice weekly garbage pickup but note there isn't recycling. We took our recyclables to the local recycling center, which wasn't far away. All in all our stay was fantastic and we would recommend!

Best property manager we’ve ever stayed with

We’ve been going to Florida with one or two other couples the last 5 years. This is the best property we’ve stayed at. The manager was very prompt with her communication and the house was very clean and had everything! Bikes, kayaks, pool table, ping pong, hot tub, pool, fishing poles…..everything was great and exactly as described! We usually pick a different VRBO each year but we’ve decided to go back to this one the next few years if it’s available.

Excellent Family Vacation Home

This property is exactly as pictured and described! The home is very spacious, the kitchen is stocked full of all the essentials plus more, and the outside amenities are amazing. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, private dock, and even tried out fishing and using the crab pots. Having private bathrooms attached to the bedrooms was such a bonus for our adult children. And the elevator was an absolute bonus. We did have a few issues arise during our stay but both Carol and Bill were very attentive and addressed everything immediately. They were both so eager to help and pleasant to work with. We absolutely loved the location and enjoyed seeing the dolphins swim by our dock almost daily. The local restaurants were fantastic and served some of the best shrimp and scallops we’ve ever had. Next time we visit Florida, we definitely plan to stay here again.

Xmas with family

Overall, the place was perfect for what we were looking for. Plenty to see and do, we just didn't have enough time to enjoy it all. The pool did have an issue, but Bill the maintenance contact was very responsive and did his best to try and fix it but a part still hadn't arrived. We made the most of it and did get to enjoy the hot tub for some of our stay. We loved the kayaks and Bill told us where we could load them much easier, since the dock is quite high up on the water. We did see dolphins briefly and loved kayaking around the channels and out into the gulf some. Kitchen is well stocked and has everything you might need. Just a relaxing place with all that you might need.

Magnificent View of the Gulf!

Although there were a couple of glitches e.g., Hot tub being cold and not being able to use the fireplace, our stay was Wonderful! The house is very clean and absolutely beautiful! This house has the most well appointed kitchen I have ever seen. Since I was cooking a full Christmas dinner this was a blessing! The beds were comfortable and the elevator helped out tremendously. I would recommend this house to anyone that is looking for multiple activities to keep their guests occupied. My adult children and husband enjoyed the game room very much. If the weather had been warmer the pool would have been utilized as well as the kayaks. Thanks Carol!

Lovely property. The house was great, beds very comfortable, great seating inside and out. Elevator definitely a plus. Pool and jacuzzi wonderful. My only complaint would be some of the door locks to the outside were broke or hard to work. This house will be my vacation rental list for sure. The water view was wonderful.

Beautiful House on the Gulf With So Much To Do!

My teen boys had a blast at this property, they used the kayak provide and caught many fish and crabs. After dark the hot tub, pool and game room was where we enjoyed our time. The views of the gulf were amazing we saw lots of fish, dolphin, crabs and sting rays right off the dock. Carol was a great hostess and was quick to respond to the questions we had, thank you for the great stay!

Location, Space, Beauty

This property is amazing - plenty of space for the whole family, a dock to tie the boat to, beautiful views of the Gulf of Mexico, and lots to do. There’s plenty of parking, great pool area, and Bill the maintenance guy is incredibly helpful and friendly. The only slight issue was the inability to launch kayaks from the dock (too high above the water). In general, highly recommend the property for a family vacation! Just a note, in 2022 no scallops to be found in this area!

We visited Hernando Beach for the first time this July. Myself my husband and our 3 teens. The home was huge and plenty of space for the 5 of us! We had a great view of the sunset off the dock where we caught crabs and lots of fish. We saw dolphins a few times and even a small sea turtle! The home had fishing poles, bikes, chairs, and kayaks.
