Private Steinhatchee Cabin with Dock and Boat Ramp

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. All amenities were as advertised and the place is just lovely.

We stay at Vanessa’s cottage every year and enjoy it every time!

I've stayed here 3-4 times over the last 8 years, it's always tranquil and I can't recommend it enough. The kitchen is very well-equipped and as of August 2018 the cooking knives are razor sharp. It's a minor detail for many, but it's the *only* vacation rental I've ever stayed in that has a sharp set of cooking knives and I appreciate that... it makes preparing a nice meal after a long day on the water with friends that much more enjoyable. Cell phones don't really work here and that's perfect. There is wi-fi, but I've only used it to help navigate friends to the house that had never been there before. Once all of the guests arrive it's off-the-grid and peaceful. If you have a kayak or boat, redfish and trout can be caught just a short paddle or boat ride down the creek towards the gulf (check the drainage pipe just before you get to the Rocky Creek boat launch, redfish are there on a falling tide and after rain, use a lure that won't snag). If you go all the way to the gulf, there are miles of grass flats and some oyster beds that hold fish. The cabin is also a prime spot if you want to catch scallops. Sometimes they can be found at the mouth of Rocky Creek, but Keaton Beach and Hagen's Cove are just a short drive away if you are going by kayak/canoe and want a closer launch point. This year we found nearly a limits worth in knee-deep water off of Hagen's Cove. We kayaked to them but the water was so shallow and they were so close that we could have waded to them from shore.

We had a very nice time and made a lot of new memories!!

We really enjoyed our stay and were pleased with the accommodations. If you’re bringing a boat, definitely chat with the owner about the creek. We had a 24’ pathfinder without a top. We managed the creek and bridge, but it is not for the novice boater. Pay attention to the tides! We also used the ramp on the premises without problem. Best feature is the upstairs screened porch, we sat out there a lot after a day on the water, Cleaning stations are perfect for the days catch! Keep in mind this is a fishing/scalloping town, if you want fancy try some of the condos. If you’re looking for somewhere you can bring your family and pet to relax, give it a try.
