Perfect location for manatee diving

I've been diving with manatees for 30 years, and this was the best location for doing so, I have ever rented. We had a great time.

Location is ideal

This was the 2nd time we’ve stayed at the cottage. Love the location to the springs. We enjoyed watching dolphins and manatees swimming right behind the house. The cottage is perfect for our family of 4. Well stocked kitchen and the propane grill was a nice addition from our last stay. The kids loved going to breakfast at Florida Cracker by boat& we really enjoyed Marguerita Grill for dinner. We are already planning our next trip.

Lovely retreat

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The home was exactly as described and very clean. The beds were very high so I opted to put the mattress from the pull out couch on the floor in the living room for my kids and I to sleep on. This was very comfortable and worked perfectly for us. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Escape

My husband and I wanted to getaway for a few days of relaxing and fishing and this was the perfect escape vacation rental! We loved the spacious layout of the family room and kitchen with big open views of the water. House is very clean and well equipped and we really enjoyed sitting on the porch with our morning coffee or end of the day with cocktails watching the boats go by. Great location! We would definitely stay here again!

An Awesome Girl’s Trip

My girlfriends and I wanted a nice place to stay while we explored the manatees. This house was amazing! Right on the river, kayaks for us to use, the firepit and huge screened porch, all of it was amazing. We will definitely stay here again. The owner goes above and beyond to make your stay relaxing with all the extra amenities. I can’t say enough about our experience!

Beautiful Location

The view from the property is beautiful. Centrally located for everything you need and enjoyable places to visit. The property is very clean and has everything you need. The kayaks were fun to use. One bathroom was a challenge for a our family but we made it work. The beds were very tall and difficult to get into. The wifi was not reliable especially in the evenings but on the whole worked enough in the day time. We had a few issues but the owner was very quick to respond and deal with them. The lanai is well set out and the furniture is very comfortable, we spent hours sat out there watching the boats and wildlife. Overall our stay was enjoyable, the house comfortable and the view amazing.

Perfect location & gorgeous home

Our family of 4 enjoyed a week here and loved every minute of it! Our little jon boat fit in the boat slip, we kayaked (included with the house) to springs and saw manatees, and even did some scalloping. The kids caught fish right off the shore. The house was spotless and the recent renovations were beautifully done! The only negative is there aren’t enough lights outside by the water to fish and catch crabs, per our 8 year old son! The neighborhood was quiet and we loved eating our meals on the patio while watching the boats go by.

Highly recommend

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation with the rental of this VRBO. It was immaculate and well equipped and suited our needs perfectly. My family really enjoyed many hours on the screened in porch watching all of the birds, dolphin, manatees and boats… So peaceful and relaxing! The kayaks were a huge bonus to enjoy the river and the natural spring close by. The close proximity to great seafood restaurants and our scalloping trip was nice too. We would highly recommend this rental!
