We had a truly wonderful time. The home was perfect exactly as advertised. The amenities were outstanding. Boat dock was very easy to get to. I recommend going by the Sea Hag marina County boat ramp to put in larger boats.

Great place with great host

Took the entire family for scalloping. It was a perfect place. The home has plenty of room for my family of 5. It’s very convenient to the boat dock. There is also plenty of room for trailer parking. The host was very approachable and communication was easy. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Cozy Cottage

We have been coming to Steinhatchee landing for 13 years and have stayed in many of the cottages. You can tell that this cottage is well cared for by it's owners. Everyone had their own comfortable bedroom and private bath and we we had plenty of room to come together in the main living area. Communication with the property manager was excellent.

We had the most wonderful stay at The Presidential Lodge in Steinhatchee Landing from Wednesday, August 27 through Sunday, August 31. The house itself was absolutely beautiful—spacious, thoughtfully designed, and filled with charm. The porches were perfect for gathering with family and friends, whether for morning coffee or late-night conversations, and quickly became our favorite hangout spots.The beds were incredibly comfortable, making every night’s sleep restful and rejuvenating after long days snorkeling. Every detail in the lodge added to the sense of relaxation and ease, creating the perfect backdrop for our scalloping getaway.If you’re looking for a serene retreat with all the comforts of home (and then some), The Presidential Lodge is a dream. We can’t wait to return!

Awesome Stay

The home was so comfortable and homey! It had everything we needed and the location in the Landing is ideal. Near the boat docks, fire pit and petting zoo. We got our limit on scallops each day and even caught grouper offshore one day. Thanks for the awesome stay!

Family getaway

We really enjoyed our long weekend scalloping, it’s beautiful home and a great location. We brought a boat and trailer parking was plentiful and onsite. The docks are floating docks and a short walk to the house. The pool was great as well and the community had a lot of amenities to offer. Would definitely recommend!
