About this property

Estuary Oasis

Bring the family to your own estuary oasis with a fenced in yard. Bring your boat to tie up to the dock or just launch the provided kayaks. Catch fish in your backyard. Lounge in a hammock or Netflix and chill. Enjoy delicious local restaurants that feature the freshest seafood, or catch and grill your own fish or scallops. We love our guests and hope you have a magical time here at our estuary oasis. This is a Coastal styled Estuary Oasis, minutes from scallop grounds or manatee swims. Enjoy the sunrise while sipping on provided coffee or tea and the sunset with your favorite drink in hand. You have access to the main floor. Master bath has a double slipper soaking tub. Feel free to use kayaks and bikes. There is a keurig and teapot available. Home features a 65 inch smart tv, just log in to your favorite streaming account and chill. We are just a text or phone call away, your on call concierge. Jason 352-304-7782 Elizabeth 352-566-0324 Fort Island Beach is 8 miles away. 3 sisters springs, and manatee viewing is 4 miles away. Hunter Springs Park is 4.7 miles away The closest boat ramp is 3.9 miles away you can put your boat in there to get to our property. Fort Island Beach is 8 miles away. There is a birding/hiking trail 1 mile away Golfing is 3.1 miles away 30 miles to Weekie Wachee springs, home of the mermaids. Personally owned vehicles, uber or lift is what I recommend The home is a stilt home so you have to go upstairs to access it. The main level has three bedrooms on the main floor and two full bathrooms. On the main level there is a spiral stairway that leads to a third level that has a loft/office area. There you will find a twin trundle bed with a pull out twin mattress under.

Wonderful property

We had a great time staying at this house. It was clean, well stocked with everything you would need, and the view is amazing. The host was very responsive. The Vrbo app led us to the wrong address about 10 minutes away, but the host quickly gave us the right one. We would definitely recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Jason and Elizabeth Elliott

Host profile image
My family and I love hosting and traveling. I was born and raised in Florida and this ecosystem is truly unique. My family and I enjoy outdoor adventures, Elizabeth and I have 3 daughters and 2 sons. Our desire is to share what we love with other people because the best part of the human experience is shared moments.

Why they chose this property

We love the island community on the beautiful estuary. The views and fishing are amazing and the scallop grounds are close.

What makes this property unique

We have unparalleled views of a glorious estuary environment. Sometimes we have dolphins fishing out back, other times manatees swimming. We are a short boat ride from pristine scallop grounds and reefs.
