We loved our stay! Great property for two couples and two dogs. Lots of space inside and out. Lots of kayaks for paddling out to see the manatees or just watch them swim by from the dock. We loved it so much that we have already booked again for 2025!

We enjoyed a fun and relaxing time at this property. The owners are helpful and generous. The beds are comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay. The kayaks were so fun and the screened in porch was amazing. We definitely would stay here again.

Had a great week at this property. Great location for fishing and kayaking. House is functional but dated, however you won't spend much time inside at this house, there is too much to do outside!

Such an incredible experience to stay right on the water. The manatees were right in front of the property playing. We loved our stay! The weather wasn’t great but so much to do and explore near by. Our dogs enjoyed the big yard! Very cool place!!!

The home was as described and worked well for our group. There were plenty of kayaks and we used them daily. Just a short paddle from the main river. We saw manatees daily right from the dock. We will definitely be back. Super easy to communicate with hosts. Great time overall 10/10 stars

We do weekend get aways almost weekly. This was the first time staying here. Meg and Jon had the place all set for us when we arrived. Gorgeous veiw from the screened upper deck and the dock below. Everything was as advertised and we very much enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be staying again in the near future.

Thanks for a wonderful stay. Owners were quick to respond to any questions I had. We all had a great time kayaking, fishing, and relaxing. Plenty of room as my teens had friends come up for the day. A very relaxing staycation. Will definitely plan a return trip.

We finally got to stay in this house after passing it for 4 years! It did not disappoint! We might try to book it in the summer time too so we can enjoy the pool as well. Great place!

This was a last minute booking but was everything we needed and more. The house was in a quiet neighborhood and allowed us to unwind. My kids even saw a momma manatee and baby when they used the kayaks. We will definitely return.
