We absolutely loved our stay in Steinhatchee! The house was so clean, spacious, and comfortable, and we felt right at home from the minute we walked in. Having a boat ramp and plenty of room for our trailer was such a nice bonus and made our scalloping trip so much easier.Amy, our host, was just wonderful! She was so sweet, helpful, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. You can tell she truly wants her guests to enjoy their stay.We had the best time and would definitely stay here again. If you’re headed to Steinhatchee, especially with a boat in tow, this is a great place to call home while you’re there!

This property is situated perfectly on a canal that is plenty deep to get a boat in and out during all tides. The boat lift is brand new and works great. The house was clean and cozy.
