About this property

Waterfront 3-2 Home Pool, Pet Friendly, & Ice Machine

  • This is a 3 bedroom 2 bath canal front home which is perfect for a family getaway. It sleeps 10 people at an affordable price with lots of amenities to make you feel more like our house guests than vacation renters!

    The house has an open concept kitchen, dining room and sunken living room. The kitchen is fully stocked so plan to make some great meals to eat at the large dining room table, the breakfast nook or poolside. If you prefer to grill, the “grill master” can choose to use the large flat top gas grill or the smaller charcoal grill.

    There is a split bedroom arrangement. The master bedroom has a king size bed and sliding glass doors leading to the pool. The second bedroom has a queen size bed and the third has a bunk bed with a full mattress on the bottom and a twin mattress on the top. There is a full mattress under the bed that can be pulled out if needed. The closet is stocked with toys and games so we like to call this the “kids room.”

    The private solar heated pool (chilly during winter months) is enclosed by a spacious lanai with ample seating for the whole family to eat, sunbathe, watch the kids swim or read a good book. If the night is a little chilly you can sit by the fire in the separate outdoor patio.

    After you launch your boat from the public boat ramp across the street, it’s only a short ride to the canal where you’ll find the dock and floating dock. Fill your beverage & fish coolers with ice from our 250lb ice machine and you're on your way. Please note that the canal can get shallow during low tide but I was able to easily maneuver my 27’ boat to the deeper water.

    Restaurants, shopping and the historical town are just a few minutes away. Crystal clear springs, nature trails and parks are close by for the outdoor lovers.

    This is where you want to stay in the summertime for some great scalloping, the winter time to see the manatees and to escape the cold if you’re snowbirds and all year long for some phenomenal fishing!

    Please contact me for long term rental and discount pricing depending on length of stay.

Annual Family Scalloping Trip

We so enjoyed our stay at the Turtle House this year for our annual family scalloping trip. This was our first time at this house, and it had everything we needed and more. David was very quick to respond to any of our questions. The location was amazing, and the ice machine was huge hit.

Fantastic Family Vacation

We had a fantastic family vacation with our adult children. We took our boat which we were able to dock behind the house. It was nice just being able to hop in the boat and go. We caught lots of fish and ended our days swimming in the springs and or the nice refreshing pool!

Great location

This is a great location to site see for the manatees and the natural springs. There is not a big beach close by, there is a small park with a small beach which is nice but no pets allowed. Very good restaurants and live music close by. Very nice neighbors in a very quiet neighborhood. The house is nice with lots of room. Pool area is very nice too. Also a bonus that they allow your pet. We would definitely stay there again if we come back to that area.

Beautiful place

This lovely place was just as advertised. Beautiful, clean and very well stocked with everything you would need. The property was very private with the fence and hedge. The pool was so pretty at night with the lights. We loved the kayak to paddle the river. Biked around the neighbourhood and walked the trails of the state park. We definitely would go back!

Our favorite family trip of the year.

This is our third time staying at the turtle house. It was a wonderful trip just as the others have been. The house is wonderfully located to town, restaurants, and grocery stores. Plenty of space for our family with grandparents and three kids under 4. The house has everything you need for a perfect family vacation. The host response time is unparalleled. We will be returning again

Great stay!

We had a wonderful stay at the Turtle House! We spent a week in heaven and didnt want to leave. The house is great, the was amazing and we love the neighborhood. The canal is a nice slow cruise 30 minute ride out to the main river. Boat ramp is around the corner and easy put in and take out. Our 21ft cobia had no problems getting in and out.
