The place is beautiful. Very clean. The property owner was very responsive with any questions we had throughout our stay. Would definitely stay here again.
This place was perfect for us. My cousin has a house on the same canal and my mom has a condo in Suwanee Cove. So, this location was perfect for our family to come and see everyone but still have our own space. It was a perfect size for our family as we have 2 teenagers, 2 kids in their 20s the porch got a ton of use. We loved having that large porch for family games. (The fans on the back porch made it soooooo lovely in the evenings)
This house is perfect for small groups - two full bathrooms, 3 medium size bedrooms and a large great room with a lot of seating. We were worried with the hurricane 2 months before we arrived that we might need to cancel, but the house was rebuilt completely inside - all new.
Very tastefully decorated house. We enjoyed sitting by a fireplace, looking at the stars, listening to the fish jumping, and watching gorgeous sunsets. Yes, there are a few steps to get in the house, but nothing out of ordinary. No roaches to report. The area is very remote - no grocery stores or a gas station - come prepared.
The house was as advertised. Great location on a freshwater canal leading to the Suwanee River. Only a couple of local places around to access the gulf or salt water fish, but some very nice places for fishing and crabbing within 30 minutes. A very slow paced community, not crowded at all, if you’re looking for a nice, quiet get away with beautiful sunset views this is a good location.

We had a great time! The house was very nice and a perfect fit for our family. Thankfully the house had good Wi-Fi- because there was no cell service for miles. We found a great place north to dive for scallops. All of the neighbors were very nice and gave us some great tips on navigating the local waters and places to go. We needed more time to explore!
We were pleasantly surprised to find this home has recently been redone and let me tell you- it’s so precious! The owners really outdid themselves with the amenities and decor. It had everything we needed for a family and kids. We brought the fishing boat and two jet skis and had no issues with the smaller dock. The neighbors were nice. We made it to the Springs for the day and just cruised the river. The kids LOVED playing hide and seek on the massive deck space. The kitchen was fully equipped and the house was perfectly cleaned. We had one issue while there, but the super sweet owners responded fast got things handled in record time, even while traveling themselves. We LOVED the area and the home and hope to stay again soon!
The house it self is nice. Nice locating. Fuel your boat before you get there. Have ALL the food you will need for your stay because the market there has a minimal selection of items. The closest store is 25 mins away in Old Town,FL. It is a very quiet town. The seafood restaurant has good food at reasonable prices. We had a good breakfast at the marina cafe. Now, with all that being said… the stairs were brutal. Yes we are older, in our 50s, but we are no stranger to stairs. It was like they never ended. There are 32 steps to get to the front door. Once you get inside you there are 7 more stairs going up to the living room and kitchen area or 7 more stairs going down to the bedrooms. The patio area on the 2nd floor is awesome but know that there are 16 stairs you have to go down to get to it. If you don’t mind A LOT of stairs this is definitely the house for you. We enjoyed our stay but we are pooped and happy to be home. We want to give a BIG shout out to Chris our host! Thank you sooo much for everything! You are a GREAT host!

Hi John, we want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us. We followed up with the homeowner's after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:- We're glad to hear you enjoyed the location, the fishing and the local seafood restaurant and marina cafe. It sounds like you made the most of your stay despite the challenges with the stairs. I understand how the multiple flights could be overwhelming, especially after a long day of fishing.- Your kind words about Chris, the host, are greatly appreciated. We’re always here to help make your stay as comfortable as possible, and we’re glad you enjoyed your time overall. - We hope you keep us in mind for your future travels. We’d love to host you the next time you visit. Thank you for sharing your review!
We had a wonderful stay at the Sunny Side Up! This house was perfect for our family fishing trip! Convenient to the marina and canal. The house itself was beautifully decorated and spacious!! We will be back next year!
We truly loved the location. The only down fall was German cockroaches in the kitchen. They were crawling everywhere even across the stove as I was cooking. There are no restaurants which is fine, but means you are cooking for food. I contacted manager, she responded quickly. Exterminator could not come till the following week. German cockroaches are invasive and can come home with you. So we kept our bags outside to unpack. I honestly hope they took me seriously and got this under control before they take over. There is a special treatment for them as I know someone who went through it. Best of luck.
Great location to my grandparents in chiefland.
We had a great time exploring local sites
Got the most beautiful picture of the sunset
