Fully stocked house for short-term renters with linens, shampoo, conditioner, soap, laundry detergent, paper goods, and starter coffee/tea/creamers. Bring your clothes and toothbrush only!

Why they chose this property

I plan on retiring to this home in the next few years and take tremendous pride in this quiet, cozy, relaxing home.

Imagine you are up in the morning sitting on big comfortable chairs under a gazebo, drinking your coffee or tea. Since the wifi is out there, you might also be catching up on some emails. You cannot help but notice all the flowers and native plants surrounding you, and since you are sitting 30 feet away from the Whitaker Bayou, you notice fish splashing in the canal. You quickly realize you are in Florida when you see all the tropical birds walking. No, this is not a hotel but a little piece of paradise.

Welcome to the Fishimeran Cottage!
