Island paradise

Date of Stay: 08/12/11 Review Submitted: 08/21/11

We stayed here for a week in June. We loved it so much, we booked another week in August. The area is so peaceful and relaxing. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves. The water views on both sides of the house were beautiful. Sunrises and sunsets were especially memorable. The pictures do not do this property justice. The house was clean and well furnished. The house easily accommodated our group of five. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking at home. The dock was very nice and provided excellent fishing for snook and redfish. We will definitely rent this island paradise again.

We had such an amazing time at this house! Made so many wonderful memories! The dock was perfect for fishing and the family had a blast. We spent just as much time on the beach side of the house. It was perfect for relaxing! The kids enjoyed playing in the waves and looking for shells. We could not of asked for a better place to spend the week! We also spent some time at Bathtub Beach which was a nice walk (or short drive) away. It's perfect for the little ones! The house is perfect if you just want hang out and enjoy a private beach. Can't say enough about how wonderful our time at the house was! Thank you!

Great House & Location

My family and I were extremely pleased with the home and the location. The house was clean and had all of the items we could ask for. The location was ideal. On the east you had the ocean and could watch the sunrise. On the west you had the river and could watch the sunset and also check out fish, stingray, and crabs. To the south about 1/2 mile, there was a wonderful beach with a sandbar. The waves were slowed by rocks so the beach / sand bar area was very safe for kids to play. We are thinking about heading back in the future with friends.

Owner response:Glad you and your family enjoyed the Beach House. It truly is a very unique spot!

Perfect family vacation home

We just spent a wonderful week at this beachfront home. Great beach for sunning and shell hunting, the sunrises and sunsets are amazing. Comfortable for both kids and adults. Lots of room to spread out. Just a short walk or ride down to BathTub Beach for easy beach swimming for everyone. We counted over 40 snook under the docklights - but we couldn't hook one! Falling asleep to the sounds of the surf...can't wait to return.

Everything you need for a relaxing stay at the beach

This home has everything you need for a relaxing, fun-filled stay at the beach. The kitchen is stocked with all of the necessities including big pans, plenty of plates and silverware. The layout of the main floor is perfect for entertaining as it has an open floor plan and views from the river to the ocean. The turret overlooking the river was a particular favorite for us as is it boast comfy furniture, is nice and sunny and you can't beat the view. The best part is that there are plenty of spots both in and outside the house to get away from the crowd. Only downside was the second bedroom is really a full bed, not a queen as written which made it a bit tight for two of us who normally sleep in a king bed. As a seasoned traveler, I'm very picky about whether something is clean and this was. It reminded me of vacation homes from the Northeast which certainly made me feel right at home. It is also well stocked with beach chairs, floats and sand toys, which made flying in a breeze. We took advantage of the amenties at the Marriott and jet-ski'd one day, what a blast. If you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy the beach, look no further. Haven't been back for 24 hours and we are ready to return!!!!

Owner response:Hi! Thank you for your review. I wanted to respond so that you would know we have upgraded the full bed to a king bed as we agreed it is too small for two adult. Also, we have changed out the twin beds and put in two sets of bunk beds. we are glad you enjoyed your stay.

Perfect Get Away from it all vacation

I am writing this review while still on holiday at this beautiful home truly away from home. The Perfect holiday has been found here and how can it not be when you wake up to beautiful sunrises, the sound of ocean waves and viewing dolphins off shore plus waterviews from the frontside of the home as well viewing beautiful sunsets and pelicans from the fishing dock. We hated leaving this home for any reason however we did at the request of our children to visit SeaWorld and easy 2hr drive and could not wait to escape the crowds of Orlando to relax again seaside. Truly our stay at this lovely home on Hutchinson Island was a Perfect Get Away relaxing vacation for our family. Enjoy and treasure every moment the time truly flies.
