Fantastic place to stay! The house has tons of amenities, plenty of parking, a private boat launch that makes it easy to avoid the crowds, and a huge dock. The views are incredible, and it’s a perfect spot for scalloping. There’s a longer idle out to the Gulf, but it’s well worth it for the peace, quiet, and escape from the busy public ramps. We’d definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Danny R Fontaine

Host profile image
Dan and Heather have been coming to Steinhatchee for years to go fishing and scalloping. We decided to buy a place of our own so we can spend more time here. we are not ready for full time so we decided to share it with others so they can make memories as well. I hope you all enjoy the Hatch House as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

The Hatch House has some of the best views on the river. Across the river from us is a lush wooded forest and wetlands owned by the state. We have a boat ramp on the property so you don't have to wait at the ramp. There is room for your trailer too! We have a 30 foot floating dock with plenty of water in any tide.
