Great property -great location and plenty of room

I stayed with multiple family members, sleeping arrangements were easy, and comfortable. There was great accommodations for entertaining upstairs and downstairs for multiple interests and a community playground right across the street. The boat house and dockage were easy to access and plenty of parking for vehicles and trailer, and even 1 block away from getting good breakfast and hot donuts too!

Great place to stay!

Great place to stay. Location is great. The golf cart is a nice bonus to have. The game room down stairs was also put to good use for the big group we had stay here. The house is close to everything, and the water is not too far of a walk, or a brief short golf cart ride. I will be staying here again next year.

Repeat Renter!

Our group stayed here for the second time and enjoyed every minute. The house is great and has everything you need and more! There were several upgrades from last year that made our stay even better. The game room downstairs was perfect when we couldn’t be on the water because of weather.

Perfect House!!

My husband and I stayed at the Octagon house with a couple friends and we had an amazing time. The house is clean, spacious and had everything we needed. The game room downstairs was perfect for the one rainy day we had on our trip. We’ve stayed in many VRBO’s around Steinhatchee and this is our favorite and where we will stay from now on!

Fishing tournament

We were in town for a multi day fishing tournament. The home was beautiful and very clean. Perfect location, just down the street from the marina and all local restaurants. The golf cart came in handy not having to unload boats and tackle from the truck. We used the golf cart to get around to marina and restaurant. We had no hassles. The game room was awesome and we found we spent most of our time at the house in the game room.
