Perfection

This property was exactly what we were looking for. Definitely my favorite VRBO stay so far. Being on the canal instead of the main river is the best option if you are looking for a relaxing time. They had everything you could possibly need if you want to cook but any food delivery services were readily available as well. We kayaked, saw a mama manatee and her baby twice (once on the main while kayaking and once from our dock) The fire pit by the water was amazing and the beds were super comfy. Owners were also very responsive and pleasant. No crazy cleaning list, just the normal stuff you would do as a guest at any home and basically clean up after yourself. Would stay here again for sure

Family time

We had a great time staying at the house. The owner was super responsive & had great kayaks, life jackets & fishing poles. House was clean, great location close to restaurants. The only complaints were the traffic from the main road was loud at night & no bolt on the lock on the back door.

Long Weekend Getaway

Even though the property is very close to other properties in the neighborhood, it was still comfy and cozy. Very clean house and had everything we needed. We had a great time fishing off the dock. We caught mangrove only, but there were a lot of other fish around, just not hungry. We saw manatee each day and even some turtles swimming around. We enjoyed The Upper Deck restaurant and liked exploring the parks nearby and Hernando Beach. Hudson Beach was a nice little place to visit as well with fun restaurants. We really loved all the palm tree forests between Spring Hill and Hernando Beach!
