You can stop looking

Its hard to describe this home in just a few words, so please take a few minutes to read this review. First and foremost, we have nothing negative to even mention, the home is exactly as described here. Clean in and out. Live band/s on the weekends - The music was easy on the ears, did not keep us up at night. Bring your boat! Docking is more than sufficient for a 38ft + there. Several hoses around the home and the dock. The launch ramp is maybe 100 yards from the home, and its a mere 1/4 mile idle zone and then full throttle through the markers out into the gulf. The ice machine is a HUGE bonus if your there for fishing. Downstairs is a locked room (you get a key for). We left all of our fishing gear down there. Large bait freezer, a regular refrigerator for all your drinks. Also has a restroom. Upstairs was great. The entire home is a "beach/fishing" theme. (I want the giant grouper from the living room!). All rooms were clean and comfortable. Bathrooms were great, with AWESOME WATER PRESSURE!! I wish I had that kind of pressure at home. Hot water was plentiful, even after several showers in a row. Kitchen area is large, with all needed cookware and utensils. Living room is well laid out with more than enough seating for several guests, and right off the living room is the balcony for morning sunrises. Communication is A++. Great restaurants literally right down the street. Make sure to visit the Silver Dolphin. We will definitely be booking this home again. Thanks!!!!!!!!

Clean new property - Fisherman’s dream

The property was obviously newer and well maintained. Nicely furnished, spacious and comfortable. Well designed for a fisherman - especially if you have your own boat. Cleaning station on the deck, numerous hoses plus storeroom with a half bath are ideal for Anglers. I was looking forward to launching and using the kayaks provided but there was no convenient or safe way for us to get into them because the dock is so high above the water. A launch station would be nice. Fortunately I have my own kayak and was able to launch and fish in other areas. The shrimp boats across the canal were interesting and music from the restaurant directly across filled the air most nights. The Host and especially his son were great in communicating areas to visit and fish. Thank you for the tips Jared! Overall we were satisfied with the property- it has a lot going for it.

Great getaway

Beautiful clean house, love being right on the water. Entire family and pups had a wonderful time. Kids enjoyed catching fish right from the dock and listening to live music across the canal. Close to Weeki Wachi. Driveable to Tampa/Clearwater and Orlando. We would definitely stay here again. Wanted to use Kayaks but not able to launch right from house and we didn't have a way to get it to a launching area. Just something to note if you're planning on using them. Also bring your own toilet paper and paper towels! Luckily there's a Walmart close by for all those needs.

Why they chose this property

David and Lisa chose this property because they loved the area. When you just want to relax you can sit out on the patio and have a view right over Zig Zags Scallops to listen to the live band. The property is also conveniently located seconds from the boat ramp. They built a 40 ft dock to accommodate their boat and any size boat of their guest. You can also catch plenty of fish right from the dock. They have outfitted the house with great features for their friends and family that their guest have access to and can enjoy including 3 kayaks.
