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!

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!

Cozy

We have stayed in this same house several years in a row and that should speak volumes for how nice and cozy this house is. We had one issue with a smoke alarm and the owner had his repair man over in 30 minutes or less to fix it. The service is fantastic and the house is great. Already booked it again next year.

Fantastic home and location

This was our sixth year staying in The Landings and this was our favorite home so far. Just a short walk to the petting zoo and dock. The house was very spacious and comfortable for our 4 adults, 2 kids, and felt just like home. The host was great; Barry reached out several times to welcome us and to make sure we were enjoying our stay. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation. Thank you!

Wedding Weekend

This home is beautiful and a perfect place for family and friends. Our son was married at the chapel and reception at the conference center this weekend. Many family and friends stayed within the Landing Community. The home is close to the petty zoo, the boat dock, cleaning stations and pool. The property grounds are inviting and beautiful. We had a wonderful visit. The host - Barry - was very responsive with questions and checked in with us to make sure we didn't need anything. Exceptional property!

Amazing property, fabulous host

We have stayed at this lovely home many times through the years! It is definately a family favorite! This year, in particular, the owners/host went above and beyond to take care of us. We were notified before our arrival that they were having some difficulty with the fridge, which allowed us to plan a bit better and they were so accommodating to help us get it sorted out with lightening speed. So grateful and can’t wait to come back! A real gem of a property!

Home away from home

We traveled as 3 couples for scallop season. Our main reason for choosing this property was location, 5 star reviews and bathrooms with each bedroom. Of note, we did slide the 2 twins together attached a mattress connector and brought a king sheet set and comforter from home to make it better for a couple. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook 3 full meals at home. Weber (charcoal) grill outback that was big enough for our group. Scallop cleaning station within walking distance was a bonus. The men loved the recliners for afternoon naps. The front porch swing was our favorite spot for morning coffee. Would recommend this property to any families or couples!

The Presidential Cottage at Steinhatchee Landing

We had a wonderful 7 nights in this beautiful and warm house! Everything had such personal touches. The updates were so appealing and it offered such a comfortable space. We especially loved that each of the three bedrooms had their baths. The living area and dining were even roomier than the pictures. The porches were extra special with their swings and views. Very convenient to the docks also. Extremely clean! Definitely would stay again!
