The home was absolutely beautiful. The kayaks were fun and such a close paddle to the spring. Caught a couple of snook off the dock. The bed were comfortable and the game area was a hit.

Thank you for your great review! We are so happy you enjoyed the home, the kayaks, the fishing and the spring. Hope to have you back again soon.
What a wonderful stay we had. Everything we needed was there and the place was very clean and tastefully decorated. The pool table was a great bonus for us. Saw so much wildlife including many manatee. It was great to be able to use the kayaks to explore the river. Kitchen was very large and well stocked. Bathrooms were a nice size with huge showers. We're looking forward to our next stay!

Come back any time, Christopher! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay.
We absolutely loved this home & it’s location. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 (3 of which were teenagers) & plenty of things to entertain us. From playing pool/ping pong, kayaking or just sitting on the back porch watching the fish jump, it was perfect. Erin was extremely easy to communicate with & the home had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

Stayed here this past Memorial Day weekend. House was very clean and had a great set up! Very close to the spring by boat and the home was well maintained. Definitely a repeat spot to stay!
Had a fantastic time! Great location with easy paddle to the springs! House was comfortable and easy to spread out and relax.
Would definitely recommend!!!
