DUE TO ILLNESS OUR GUEST THAT WAS RENTING THIS WINTER SEASON JANUARY – APRIL IS NOT ABLE TO DO SO. WE WOULD LIKE TO FILL THE TIME SLOT WITH A MINIMUM OF A 3-MONTH RENTAL. JANUARY – MARCH AND PREFERENCE WILL BE GIVEN TO A 3-MONTH RENTAL.
A perfect place to get away for a week, a month, or several months. All you need to pack are your clothes and personal items (fishing tackle and your boat if you have one).
Hernando Beach is a rural, residential Gulf Coast town with world class fishing. The area is famous as Tarpon Country-but there’s grouper, snapper, snook, and redfish, too). Nature and wildlife preserves surround Hernando Beach. The beautiful sunsets, white sand beach of Pine Island, numerous fishing parks and the nearby Weeki Wachee Springs Water Park make it an ideal vacation or winter retreat. Enjoy fine dining in the town’s local establishments (seafood like you have only dreamed about!) or in the national restaurant chains nearby on US 19. Convenient shopping also abounds on US 19. A new Super Walmart is 10-minutes from your front door.
The home is located 60+ minutes from Tampa International Airport, and 90+ minutes from Orlando, Disney World, Universal Studios, Wet & Wild, Sea World and Busch Gardens. So you can still "do it all" and have a quiet, clean, comfortable home when it is time to unwind. After all what is a vacation if you don't relax some?
The kitchen, master bedroom, Dining Area, Screened Lanai & Pool, outdoor entertaining areas, sea wall and dock all offer views of the main channel that leads directly into the Gulf of Mexico. You can enjoy your favorite water sport from your own dock. In the evening and early morning can watch the shrimp boats come and go. Or you can stand in the heated pool enjoying your favorite beverage watching the boats leaving for the flats or gulf. Bring your boat and follow them out as you go out to see the beautiful sunset on the Gulf of Mexico. You can charter a fishing boat for guided inshore and offshore adventures from the nearby marina, venture offshore for grouper fishing on a party boat, rent a boat, pontoon boat, jet ski, or kayak locally. You will have a 20 foot floating dock right outside the back door. You can also fish off the dock (all kinds of fish come through the channel with the change of tides), or just relax on the back deck and enjoy the slow pace of Florida living. This place is perfect for the naturalist, birdwatcher, and photographer.
If you enjoy people watching you will enjoy sitting on the outside deck at one of the local restaurants watching the boats, kayaks, canoes, boats, fish and in the winter Manatees going past on the crystal clear Weeki Wachee River while you enjoy lunch, dinner or your favorite beverage. All of this is 10 minutes from your front door.
For a change of pace, there are numerous golf courses nearby, including some championship courses. Two of our local public courses are rated 9th & 48th in the country. With over 20 to choose from you will be busy if you’re a golfer. If you want to visit Florida, especially if you want to escape the long, cold Northern winter - and stay in a countryside, waterfront, but convenient location...this is the place to be.
The home has a premimum king size bed in the master bedroom. Each of the two other bedrooms have two twin beds. The master bath has both a walk in shower and a oversize soaking tub. The hall bath (between the two smaller bedrooms) has a tub shower. The large laundry room has a washer and dryer. There are two TV's each with a DVD player & VCR. The family room also has a complete stereo with Bose speakers and there is an additional stereo on the lanai for your enjoyment while relaxing in the pool, rear deck or on the covered & screened lanai.

Why the Owner Chose Hernando Beach
My first home in Hernando Beach became a little small when my grown children married and had children of their own. I love it here as you are in an isolated quiet residentail community that is on the Gulf of Mexico yet shopping and everything you could need is less than 15-minutes away. What is called "Clair's" house was owned by a lady and her husband for many years. He passed away and soon after she moved to a retirement home in a 55+ area. She wanted to be around more seniors and was tired of keeping the house up. The home has been the center of many fond memories and is now enjoyed by many families.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Hernando Beach is a very relaxed place. The locals are mostly "water people" and boat, fish, sail, etc. Hernando Beach is a true waterfront community.
