About this property

Beautiful view, heated Pool/Spa and private dock with direct Gulf access

The Water's Edge is the perfect vacation home for you! Look around, this is a fully equipped home. Outdoor eating, gas grill with lots of floor space for entertaining.

Whether you are a scalloping, a fisherman, or a sun worshiper, The Water's Edge has it all. Be wowed by The Water's Edge open floor plan that provides unparalleled views of the canal from almost every room in the house! Enjoy the large living room with fireplace, plenty of seating, stunning cathedral ceilings, and multiple sliding glass doors that lead out to two decks that overlook the canal. Descend the deck's wide stairways and sunbathe in one of the many comfortable lounge chairs by the pool, or relax and take a dip in the hot tub! Enjoy the sunset from the elevated deck under the lanai or walk out to the 30 foot private dock. With direct Gulf access and a deep water canal, bring your boat too! The public boat launch is only walking distance away from The Water's Edge. Enjoy grilling? Barbecue with a view from the barbecue deck complete with its own table and chairs. The Water's Edge also has a fully equipped kitchen with granite counter tops and bar stools. It is the perfect location to prepare the catch of the day, brew a fresh cup of coffee, or mix your favorite drink.
The Water's Edge comfortably sleeps up to 6 while providing plenty of room to relax, mingle and stretch out. There are three bedrooms and a large reading area/office with balcony that overlooks the main floor. The master bedroom is located on the main floor while the other two guest bedrooms are located on the top floor with their own full bath. The upstairs bedrooms are easily accessed by ascending a spiral staircase from the main floor.

Aside from its top-notch accommodations, the Water's Edge provides bikes and kayaks to fuel your adventurous spirit! Take a relaxing bike ride around the neighborhood or paddle through the many breathtaking canals and take in the scenery. If you love fishing, there is no need to leave the house! Enjoy fishing right off the dock.
The Water's Edge is located minutes from seven excellent local restaurants, most of which have tiki bars, live music, and all of which are pet friendly. Craving seafood? Hernando Beach's local restaurants have grouper, scallops, shrimp, calamari and more! Restaurants offer a variety of excellent food from the land and the sea - you name it, they've got it! If you'd rather cook your own seafood delicacies, Trader Bay Seafood has all you need to create an exceptional meal. At The Water's Edge, you can enjoy a cheeseburger or any other favorite food in paradise out on the town or right from the comfort of The Water's Edge.

There is no denying that The Water's Edge has everything and more to make your vacation in Hernando Beach a memorable one. We hope you love our home as much as we do when you stay at The Water's Edge!
Sincerely,


Ed Fairbanks, Owner

Whacky spring weather went from hot to cold overnight, but the heated pool and spa still gave us hours and hours of fun!! Cabin is close to everything you could ever want to do in this area. Cabin has every single solitary amenity you could ever need. 2 seniors, an 11 year old and 7 year old had a blast!!! Your family will too.

The home was beautiful inside and out. Linens, furniture, dishware, and amenities were wonderful. With the exception of the stairs. They shake and have loose wood edges that caught on my shoes a few times. Someone with physical limitations (we do not) may struggle. The home is in a beautiful area with plenty to see, do, eat out and in and beyond. Kayak were not used due lack of confidence in putting them in on this dock. Hot tub, pool, decks, seating (except a sun lounger said the wife..) was perfect. Ed was great in communication and we will definitely come back to the area and home.

Hernando Beach Vacation Home

We spent 5 nights and had a great time. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. The dock was great and we kept our boat in the water the entire time giving us direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. The owner made the rental very easy.

This place was a little slice of heaven for the family and I. We had so much fun having access to a pool and it really made it special for the kiddos. Having the dock on the canal was a nice touch for some intermittent fishing too. I would 10/10 visit this site again!

Fantastic Stay

Just got home from a long weekend stay. Fantastic house with all the amenities of home. We loved how close the house was to the boat ramp and how quickly we were out in the channel. The kayaks were a nice bonus and coming in after a long day on the water for a dip in the pool was the best! Will definitely stay again!
