Everything was amazing! House was spotless, comfy beds, & well equipped kitchen! We had a blast in the downstairs game room & my Grandson loved the park by the house! Clara was excellent at communicating everything we needed to know about the property!
The Etheridge’s house is top notch!! The entire house was pristine & everything was so organized with no clutter! The location was also perfect! We rented a golf cart & we could drive everywhere on it from the house. PERFECT HOUSE & THE BEST LOCATION!!Definitely a family favorite of ours & we will be returning regularly!!

Great location and amenities whether you’re there for a fishing trip or just checking out Steinhatchee. And the host was very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend staying here!
Great location it is close to the marinas/food. The private boat dock is great and very convenient. Spent our down time in the awesome game room and grilling! Host was great and check-in super easy.
So many amazing features with this house- beautiful layout, CLEAN, decorated very nicely !!, So well stocked with the necessary essentials! Great view of the river. The dock was fantastic and the Game room was a joy for everyone ages 73 to 6!! The location was so convenient for boating for four days!!
This stay was amazing! We have enjoyed staying for now the second time in this beautiful perfect home! This home is perfect for any occasion or just a getaway! Hoping to have many future stays at this lovely location!
Great place and a great location. The children’s park was a big bonus for our boys and the boat dock was plenty large and convenient. Ample parking space was welcomed too! Very clean and pleasant home!

We are thrilled that your family enjoyed your stay.
Please come and stay with us again soon.
We had a great time with our grown kids and grand daughter. House was amazing and the owners were wonderful. The owners were super helpful with early check in and any issue or question we had. Great location and we look forward to going again next year!
Great place to stay. Location is great. The golf cart is a nice bonus to have. The game room down stairs was also put to good use for the big group we had stay here. The house is close to everything, and the water is not too far of a walk, or a brief short golf cart ride. I will be staying here again next year.

Can’t wait to have you guys back next year!
Spacious living area. Very clean. The game room (bottom floor) could use a bit more air conditioning in the summer months, but still a 5-star experience.
Wonderful location and awesome amenities. Beautiful, cleanly home. Hostess was extremely responsive. Our family had an great experience for our annual family scalloping trip. I highly recommend the Octagon House.
I stayed with multiple family members, sleeping arrangements were easy, and comfortable. There was great accommodations for entertaining upstairs and downstairs for multiple interests and a community playground right across the street. The boat house and dockage were easy to access and plenty of parking for vehicles and trailer, and even 1 block away from getting good breakfast and hot donuts too!
Really enjoyed our stay there and owner was super helpful and had great communication. Tried to book the unit for next year but it was not available. Will stay again
This home provided ample amenities for our family to enjoy during our stay. The game room was a big hit providing hours of fun. The boat dock was big and easy to access. We can not wait to come back!!!
