The host was great. There was a minor issue upon arrival and the host get it fixed immediately ! No other issues the rest of our visit. Loved the access to launch kayaks and the paddle to King Springs was minutes. We were able to experience the manatees in a less crowded spot The host proved kayaks were also appreciated.

Family Fun

We really enjoyed our stay. We took full advantage of the paddle boards and kayaks and were able to get on the water multiple times to see the manatees. The house was as described and was a great setup for our family including our 2 year old and grandma.

A cute blue and yellow bungalow! We appreciated the cleanliness, separate bathrooms, and hostess treats. The access to kayaks and paddle boards was fun! A short roll to the bay finger and easy paddle to Kings Bay where we saw manatees! Overall great stay!

We had a great time! The house was perfect for our time here. Very clean and cute! The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. We used the boat ramp two streets over with no problems at all! We cooked dinners and they had everything we needed (pans/utensils etc. and even a few extras!) Beds were super comfy!! Thank you for opening your home to us!

Nice location

We stayed 2 nights, it is a very nice neighborhood, 3 min drive from where we went snorkeling with manatees, and from Hunter Spring Park. My only remark is that picture of the dock gives a wrong impression as if it is located at the back yard of the property, which isn't true. There is a walking distance to the dock and water, so we couldn't really enjoy the kayaks that the property offer.

We stayed at this lovely house for 7 days in March.The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors are friendly. You walk into the house through a screened porch with lights and a portable fan. We had breakfast every morning here. As you walk into the house, the first bedroom is to the left (day bed with a trundle) The kitchen/family room is cozy and very inviting. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything I needed to prepare meals. The family room space had very comfy chairs and a couch with a TV. Next bedroom is to the left of the kitchen (queen bed) with a full bathroom in the hall. The final bedroom (queen bed) is behind the kitchen with an attached bathroom/shower. All rooms had air conditioning and wardrobes for clothing. There was a second screened porch that opened to the backyard/firepit area. This area was fitted with string lights. The kayaks/paddle boards were stored outside and paddles and life jackets were kept on the porch. We kayaked most mornings and saw a few manatee! The host provided a cart to transport the kayaks to the dock, which is a short walk away from the house. It was very easy to launch from the dock area and it took us middle agers about 50 minutes to get to the Pete's pier/Hunter Springs area from the house via kayak. House is central to everything in the area. There is close shopping for groceries and lots a lovely restaurants. The gulf is about 15-20 minutes away by car.Host was kind and responsive. Highly recommend!

Had so much fun here!

My family went down for three nights with the express purpose of kayaking and swimming with the manatees. This house checked all the boxes since the kayaks were included. Yes you do have to walk the kayaks down the street to put in at the dock but once in the water, it only took about 10 minutes of paddling to get to a manatee viewing area at an island. We had the most amazing experience there! It was only my family of four and a manatee we nicknamed Jeremiah. He popped up from the bottom about a foot away from my right flank! It scared me at first but after giving him some space, he hung out with us for about 20 minutes before Going back to the bottom. If you’re wanting to kayak to Three sisters springs, it’s about 30-40ish minutes of casual paddling. This area is beautiful and totally worth the trip. RENT WETSUITS! We found them for about 20 a day per person and they were worth it. 72 in the springs sounds nice but during manatee season, the air temps are cool. While we were there it was 45-70 every day. The house has everything you need to stay there comfortably for a few days- sample shampoo/conditioner, laundry pods, extra paper towels and TP, even some niceties such as popcorn and hot chocolate. It was nice being able to bring our dogs with us and not board them. No animals are allowed in the furniture so we brought our kennel with us . A determined dog could def escape the fence on some areas so we always supervised them outdoors. This house is still a great place!

We loved this charming home ! It is a supercool spot. The host was very accommodating and helpful. The location is fantastic and the setting is perfect. We especially enjoyed hanging on the screened in porch and using the kayaks. 4 stars - no complaints. We will happily come back in the future!

We did enjoy the location and our stay in that area the only disappointment was, we are in Florida and there were only 2 window air conditioning units for the whole house that were not on upon arrival (90 out) so it took a long time to cool the house off
