We rented this property for a couples weekend. Everything was perfect! We had three couples - each had their own bathroom and we had plenty of room to spread out. The pool area is spacious and beautiful. That was our central area to get together. The view is fantastic and we took advantage of many nearby attractions. The parking was more than adequate for 3 vehicles. The property was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. There was absolutely nothing we needed to go out and purchase, a real rarity at a rental property. The owner was very responsive and helpful with local area information. We did a kayak rental at weeki wachee springs state park, which is right up the road. There are plenty of nearby restaurants and things to do. I would definitely return, and actually already discussed going back for a girl's weekend. Highly recommend!

The check in and out process was easy to follow. The host was great and even recommended varous places to visit and areas to explore. The house was beautiful and very comfortable. We loved spending days in the pool and coffee on the screened in upper deck in the morning. You will not be disappointed with this beautiful home.

This house is absolutely perfect. The location is great, the neighborhood is peaceful & the view is beautiful. Barry has been a wonderful host. He is always easy to reach and happy to suggest places to eat and things to see. The inside of the house is clean, comfortable and well stocked with all the essentials. Our kids (9 & 3) have stayed a lot of places and have declared this their favorite pool, and they’ve had a blast fishing from the dock. My husband is blown away by how well maintained the pool and dock are and said himself that he can’t believe he doesn’t have a single complaint (he usually has more than a few!) We initially came here just to take our 3 year old to see “real” mermaids in Weeki Wachee and figured it would be a one time trip, but we’ve fallen in love and will definitely be back!

Happiness in Hernando Beach

This was a beautiful property that was everything and more! The interior is beautifully appointed, comfortable, and very clean. The pool and dock were perfect! We enjoyed swimming, sitting around the pool, and fishing off the dock. The owner is very responsive, friendly and helpful. We highly recommend and had a wonderful time enjoying the views on the water with family.

Great Place to Stay

We were very impressed with the house. It was clean, had all the amenities you need, plenty of parking and the boat dock was great for our 25 footer. The canal was also clean and wide. The location is quiet and there are several local places to eat or more establishments are 3 to 4 miles away. The owner was very accommodating and took care of an issue with haste. We would definitely stay again.
