Host was amazing! The house was perfect and exactly what I was hoping for.

We came to experience the springs, rivers, and manatees. Everything was right outside in the backyard! The local food and fun was only a short drive away. Perfect family vacation.

Perfect family spring break location

This house is perfect proximity to accessing the area by water or land! It was a wonderful place to wake up in and come home to in the evening after our daily adventures. We were delighted to have a Manatee swimming right off the dock the first morning we were there!

Florida Nature Haven

Just spent the weekend here on a BFF girls trip and lived our stay so much. The house is on a very quiet street and calm canal. It was lovely to drink our coffee outside on the patio each morning and watch the wildlife in the river. Beautiful place.

Peaceful place with great access

What a beautiful home and location, clean and very well maintained. Stepping out the back door and getting the kayaks right on the water was amazing to be able to paddle right into Kings Bay where we had a manatee come right up to our kayak. The location for the house provides easy access to so many different springs. Restaurants and a cute downtown area. We will definitely book this home again when we go back.

We enjoyed our stay! The minute you walk into the home you see a beautiful view of the water. The house was very clean, nicely decorated, and many extras for our enjoyment. The home is in a very quiet neighborhood and just a short drive from downtown. I would definitely stay here again!
