Memorial Weekend

The home is great. Very clean & comfortable. Entrance is on 2nd floor. You really have to check on your low/high tides hours if you are planing on doing any boating/jet ski activities. We got stuck in the enternece area of the ramp & tied up to a near by dock, came back for it in the morning.

Family Transition

Beautiful house in an off the beaten path allowed for much needed R&R as our family moves out of the states. Happy our last few days in the USA included staying at the Terra Ceia slice of Heaven. Thank you for sharing your space with us! My son caught a foot long catfish and my kids enjoyed putting the kayacks to use.

Perfect getaway

Very nice place, the millers are fantastic hosts. The house was well stocked, with plenty to do. Situated in a very good, quiet area, with lots to do within a short drive. This house is just as described in the listing, we had a wonderful time here. The only recommendation i can give to future guests is to watch the tide if youre bringing your boat. Flats or bay boats shouldnt have a problem, but bigger center consoles can run aground, as we did out in the bay headed towards the main channel. The millers have a map that explains the correct way out, but on low tide, there are portions of the bay that get to half a foot of water or less. This is the perfect spot for back country fishing or just sight seeing manatees and wildlife.

Great place to relax with family! The owners were very responsive and check in / out was a breeze. Loved having the kayaks to explore. The house was clean and had everything you needed from soap, snacks, bug spray, plenty of towels and beach towels so didn’t have to bring or buy any extra stuff for the stay. Enjoyed visiting Anna Marie Island and Pass-a-Grille Beach. The local Citrus Place is great for getting home made Key Lime Pie and loved their orange/vanilla and key lime ice cream. Very quiet and friendly community. Will definitely be back!

Sunlit home with sunset views

What a wonderful vacation home in a quiet neighborhood! The area has a relaxing Old Florida feel. The house has an open floorplan filled with natural light and offers great water views. We saw manatees and a dolphin swim by! We enjoyed paddling about in the kayaks. We loved the large screened porch with fabulous sunset views. Even the upstairs shower is spacious and sunlit. The house is well stocked with all the basics, and the hosts provided so many thoughtful extras which made our stay even better. The hosts are fabulous and very responsive to any questions. We hope to return for another visit.
