Labor Day Boat Weekend

We had a wonderful stay! We brought our 21-foot Tidewater Boat, and it was easy to access the Gulf! The home was comfortable and had everything we needed. We will definitely return!

The house was truly beautiful and spotless. We had a wonderful time enjoying the outdoor space, and we really appreciated the beach toys! There were plenty of activities just a short drive away, and the neighbors were incredibly friendly. All of the beds were very comfortable, with plenty of extra blankets. Our group of 10 fit perfectly, the house accommodated us very well!

Beautiful

The home was everything we had hoped for, comfortable and lovely. All of the essentials were provided, as well as many thoughtful extras. The location is in a nice quiet area, but still close enough to restaurants, groceries, etc. Bicycling, kayaking, nature walks are all easily done. We would absolutely come back again.

Great Location

The house and amenities where awesome. The master bedroom tv did not work and became a slight issue during Hurricane Debby. But besides that 5 stars. Would definitely do it again

Terrific Place

We have stayed in Hernando Beach several times as a gateway to so many fun activities. This home being new on the rental market was a great find for us. It fit our family well, had everything we needed in the kitchen, water toys, easy parking and the sunsets were breath taking each night. We fished, caught scallops, swam in the canal in front of the house, enjoyed the local restaurants, used the kayaks and a few of us old folks even learned to stand up paddle board. Great fun. The owner was easy to communicate with, the home was very clean, beds comfortable. We will repeat our stay at this home.

Great house with a view

The property was great, the house and decor are beautiful. Every room has some nice Florida decor and all the lights switches and fans are labeled. Everything in the kitchen is also labeled so you can find it easy and know where to put it back. The house has so many amenities if you forget something chances are they have it there. The house is right on a canal which we were able to kayak right off the dock. We also rented a boat from Captains Boat Rental. We found them very reasonable in price and as a bonus we were able to keep the boat overnight right on the dock. We enjoyed a sunset from the balcony every night. Overall definitely recommend this house
