We had a wonderful stay! The house was spotless and fully stocked with everything we needed—bathroom essentials, kitchen supplies, and even extra treats for the kids. The kayaks were a huge bonus and made for great adventures. We had an exceptional time and look forward to coming back next year!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and comfortable with plenty to do nearby. We spent our trip scalloping, boating, kayaking and swimming in the canal, and visiting Weeki Wachee. When the kids needed some downtime, they enjoyed the arcade games and air hockey table. The hosts were very considerate, left welcome snacks and made the whole process easy. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Beautiful Home

The home was very comfortable; everything in good working order, including AC, hot water, etc. The kitchen included everything we needed. The only issue was that the grass had not been mowed. We had a great time in the area.
