Great family vacation.

The property is lovely with beautiful landscaping. The view of the river is amazing. The hosts were very accessible and have tried to think of everything. The pool and lanai were spectacular and a special feature of the home. We had a great time relaxing and catching fish (right from the dock).

Everything is perfect about this house, from the hosts to the amenties. If it's not there then you dont need it because it has everything. Any concerns, which were minimal, the hosts jumped on it right away.This hidden gem gives you the seclusion you need to get away from the hustle and bustle of life but not too far away to enjoy yourself.

Better than the pictures!

Every person in our group of 6 loved this property inside and out! We spent the majority of our time in the large, comfortable, private lanai. The pool was wonderful and warm. We especially enjoyed the views, fish tank, privacy, comfortable beds, and spaciousness of the home. The communication and hospitality of the hosts were excellent.

Beautiful and homey

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home in Ruskin. There was plenty of room for everyone to visit, eat, sleep, and relax. Swimming in the pool and fishing off the dock were highlights for our family. And the views are amazing! We saw dolphins pass by twice in our week long stay. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed. We are already discussing staying again next year!

Beautiful, Secluded Home with Plenty of Fun

House and hosts very accommodating. House well appointed, with all the extras. Pool was a huge hit with kids, and I enjoyed fishing and kayaking from the dock. Traveled with parents and kids, and plenty of space and options for activities for all. Location was good for a quiet get-away. We drove over to Universal for a day, and also rented boats from a nearby beach. Hosts were superb to work with.

Peace and Quiet

Had a great week, with lots of pool time, fishing from the dock, and multiple dolphin sightings. Even caught some blue crab in the trap!!! The house was great and the ac was cold!!! Enjoyed the large master bedroom and bath. Jackie and Bob answered our questions with a quick response even when they were on an Alaskan cruise.

Great getaway

The property is truly one of a kind, super quiet neighborhood. The lanai is where we spent most of our time while the kids swam. Fishing right off the dock was amazing, not a ton of luck but did hook a nice size mullet. We were greeted by Jackie and Bob upon our arrival and they gave us a quick rundown of the property which was nice. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a secluded family getaway.
