Private Dock Retreat on Ruskin's Waterfront

Private Boat Dock | Provided Kayaks | Two Living Areas

Mornings start slow with coffee on the screened lanai before the water calls you outside. Launch a kayak from your private dock, cast a line, or watch for dolphins and ospreys drifting by. Gulf access puts boating and island hopping within easy reach. As evening settles in, gather back at the dock to watch the sky turn gold over the water. Book your stay and let the tide set the pace.

Beautiful water views

This location worked great for a graduation I was attending. We really enjoyed the open layout and that water view is gorgeous! We even saw a great horned owl in the tree while enjoying a quiet evening on the dock. It was a quick trip so we didn't have a chance to use the kayaks that were available unfortunately.

We've been visiting Ruskin 5 or 6 times a year to fish for 14 years, and this is the best combination of quality and value that we've experienced with a rental property. It's an adorable home which seems to have been recently renovated. The owner did a great job, sparing no expense, with excellent interior artistry, top-notch materials, and high-end appliances. The house sits on the bay with a 180-degree view of the water. The property is tastefully decorated, and the beds are incredibly comfortable. The house was immaculate when we arrived, and everything was in working order.It's located in a quiet neighborhood....It offers everything we look for and more.

We had an absolutely incredible stay at 108 Janie Street in Ruskin, Florida! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The property itself is beautiful, with truly amazing views that made every morning and evening feel special. The boating and fishing were unbelievable—perfect for relaxing and making unforgettable family memories.One of the highlights for us was how welcoming the home was for our whole family, including our kids and dogs. It’s not always easy to find a place that accommodates everyone so comfortably, and this made a huge difference.Frank and Lara were some of the best hosts we’ve ever had. They were extremely responsive, accommodating, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. Their recommendations for local food spots were spot on and really helped us enjoy the area even more.By the end of our stay, it felt like we hadn’t just visited a rental—we had made new friends. We can’t recommend this place highly enough and would absolutely love to come back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I can't say enough about our wonderful experience renting this property over Thanksgiving week! To start, the pictures don't do the place justice. The house was beautiful and spacious, with a huge kitchen that made cooking a large meal a pleasure. Seating areas with TVs at both ends of the house gave us a chance to spread out and enjoy the amazing view of the water. We spent a lot of time outside on the dock. In addition to good fishing, we saw manatees, dolphins, ospreys and beautiful sunsets.There was a lot of thought put into the design and furnishing of this house, with plenty of comfortable seating and all the amenities you could ask for. The kitchen had essentially everything we needed to cook and a well-stocked coffee bar. All the appliances were new, and the place was immaculately clean.Last but certainly not least, our hosts Frank and Lara were incredibly responsive and bent over backwards to make our stay comfortable. They clearly love their house and work very hard to give their guests the best possible experience. We will absolutely be coming back. Thank you!
We had the space for an endless Thanksgiving buffet.
Seating for 8 (we had 7) at the dining room table.
Sunset from the dock.
Another beautiful sunset.
