Beautiful place!
The place was great! Right on a shady canal full of fish, this place comes with free kayaks and is a five minute paddle from an awesome spring inlet. Clear water and great swimming! The only complaint we had was that the dryer doesn’t work, and we had washed our clothes before we realized it. But air drying them here actually made them smell great! Just a minor complaint compared to all the positives of this place.

Great for kayaking
The location was perfect for access to the springs. Just a short kayak. Overall the property was clean but needs some repairs. The lights, fans, dryer and overall electrical did not work as expected. The dock ladder was not attached so no way to get in and out

Comfortable, As-Described, Clean, Good Location
A group of us stayed to enjoy as our home base for 4th of July weekend. It was comfortable and clean and worked well for us; nothing too much, but all the things and the space to have a nice base. Open living room space was great to hang out, the sun room area was nice, and liked being able to dock our boat out back.

Perfect Location
We have stayed many times at this house over the years. The house is fabulous with all the amenities we need. You are in a quiet neighborhood right on a canal and are minutes away from the state park and grocery stores. The owners have provided a canoe and several kayaks for your use. The springs and manatee area are an easy paddle away. My son loves fishing which he can do at the house or by kayak less than 5 minutes away. The owners have always been very responsive and helpful when we communicate and we have never had any issues while staying here. Thank you for allowing us to return again.
