The location is awesome, super convenient to get to the river. Plenty of room for 3 teens and two adults. We used all the kyacks. One filled up a bit with water so we were glad there were others to use instead. Had a great trip, would rent this again, and we loved being able to bring the dog with us.

Great short stay while visiting family.

We were only there for two nights, but enjoyed our stay. Used the kayaks supplied, and had a great time on the river.

Annual Family Vacation

This is our second time staying at this property and we had a great time. Our favorite spot would be the covered dock where we fished, swam, manatee watched, and enjoyed the week.

Great experience

The property was very clean (appreciate that as we had some really unfortunate experiences in the past) It had everything we needed in the kitchen, extra blankets for bedrooms, and plenty of towels. The area was close to both grocery and bait stores:) We had a great time kayaking on the river and the dock was perfect for my son’s fishing passion, plus the outside area was big enough when we had friends visit.Lisa (the owner) was very communicative, again very appreciative of that:) Had a great stay and would warmly recommend!

Lovely long weekend

We had a lovely long weekend here. It was clean and as advertised. We loved having the kayaks available to venture out on the canals and the river. We brought a couple of paddleboards too—the kids spent a lot of time on the water! Thanks for a lovely stay.

Magical

My husband and I had the most relaxing vacation here. The house had everything you needed and the location was perfect. We spent most of our time on the dock by the water. The kayaking was amazing and we fished a lot. We were even able to spend an extra night. We will be planning g to come back soon

Perfect retreat

We stayed at this property for 4 days and loved every minute. The location is close to the springs and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The house was very clean and had everything you may need while you stay. We spent most of our time kayaking or floating in the canal behind the house. We saw so many manatees I lost count. One day two baby manatees were playing in our canal for more than half the day. It was adorable to see how playful they are. We also saw dolphins and lots of turtles. We can’t wait to come back.

River Escape

Second time staying here and couldn’t ask for more! My husband and I enjoyed our kayaking trips and catching fish right from our own dock! The last night we were there we had a manatee come right to the dock to eat the grasses. It was amazing. Can’t wait until we can book again!

Clean and Cozy

We enjoyed our stay. The home was nice and clean. We only wished that the checkout was later, at 11 so we didn't have to set an alarm and feel rushed to clean up and leave. We would have liked to have had an extra hour to relax by the water before leaving. All else was good.

It was great for us. It was myself and grandson. I would recommend renting a boat just because the current is rough. They supplied Kayaks and we did use them and it was so much fun. I would go again and would stay here

Would stay again.

Everything about this place is great. Location is awesome. Not far from everything, but far enough it's quiet and peaceful. Met the cleaning lady( which I might add came out on a Sunday to try to help) do to the fact that the TV remote was missing. She was great as well. Communication with the home owners was also great. They over nighted 2 brand new remotes and a box of batteries. Sitting under the bocks shelter while it rained for a day was so relaxing as well. Would stay here again.

Summer Vacation

The outside definitely needs some attention, front and back mostly just appearance. The house is equipped with everything, which makes it nice, there is a huge step to either bedroom so be careful with that. The beds to us were way too soft, and the couch needs to be replaced but we made due as the river was amazing. Its a cute house and the location is great

The Little House on the Canal

The home was well represented in the VRBO presentation.. The pictures showing updates were right on. It was clean and comfortable and had all the little necessities (toilet paper, paper towels, bar soap, hand soap, coffee filters, salt & pepper etc.) needed to keep from having to run to the store. The kitchen was well stocked. It was just right to accommodate 4 people. Might get a little crowded with six, but could be done. It was pleasant to sit out on the dock and enjoy the cool early morning breeze and sunrise.

Nice small rental on the canal. Old house that is remodeled nicely. I wished the beds were more firm, as both my brother and I had a little bit of a hard time sleeping as they were saggy. Mini split units did not work even after calling the owner for instructions, the compressor would not come on. All in all the house worked for us, although we were a little chilly one night and a little hot a couple nights later.
