About this property

Little Stilt House with Boatdock & Direct Gulf Access

Welcome to beautiful Hernando Beach Florida !

Fully Remodeled 2 bedroom 1 1/2 bath single family stilt home located on a 40ft deep water canal with private dock, just a 10 minute kayak or boat ride to the gulf. Also a convenient 10 minute drive to Weeki Wachi Springs State Park, one of Florida's most unique and beautiful wildlife water adventures.

Enjoy a newly remodeled open concept kitchen and living space with full amenities, WiFi, breakfast counter, granite countertops, wine fridge, A/C, satellite tv, 4 seat dining, 2 queen bedrooms, washer/dryer. Open downstairs patio and dining area with table and chairs, propane BBQ, hammock chairs, and easy access to private floating boat dock. Enjoy 2 adult and 1 junior kayaks, 4 cruiser bikes, or just swim and fish right from the dock. Easy access garage has ample additional storage.

The Hernando Beach community was coined as "Hernando's Hidden Treasure" by the St. Petersburg Times due to it's unique beachy unpretentious community experience with 6 great restaurants just minutes from the property and it is a perfect fit for couples or families who love fishing, swimming, kayaking, hiking, biking or sunset watching. Recently remodeled inside and out.

The property is located close to shopping. We have numerous grocery stores within 5 miles and a fresh seafood store within walking distance. Also within walking distance is "The Waterfront Pub and Cafe", a beachy quaint and friendly restaurant with great seafood, specials and occasionally some live music. This charming place is accessible by boat or kayak! Across the street from the Waterfront Cafe, you will find the Drunken Mullet has everything from wings to Prime Rib. If your tastes lean toward more upscale eating choices, "Brian's Place" has a fabulous mixture of Cuban/Italian Fusion entrees, incredible desserts, and periodic local live music with dancing on the outdoor patio. "The Lazy Lizard" restaurant is also fantastic, boasting a huge outdoor boat shaped bar with numerous tables overlooking the water. The restaurant has a unique blend of both upscale dining choices, or sit outside by the water, watch the turtles surface for food, and relax and enjoy a hamburger and a beer. Turtle watching is a must at the The Lazy Lizard and you may even spot a gator as well as see amazing other birdlife! These are photo ops! The Lazy Lizard also has live music with local bands jam sessions at least once a week and plenty of space to kick off your shoes and dance the night away.

Other restaurants within walking or biking distance is "Zig Zag Scallops" where you will find fabulous food at reasonable prices. This quaint restaurant is located close to the boat ramp, accessible by boat and has a full outdoor waterfront deck to watch the Pelicans and Shrimp Boats head out to the Gulf each evening! Weekly live music is usually there too! If you are a veteran, VFW Post 9236 is within walking distance and it has a cool outdoor deck on the water. It is also accessible by boat or Kayak.

Within 10 miles, great shopping abounds. .

The property is located less than 2 hours away from Orlando and all the major attractions including Disney, Epcot, Universal and Waterparks.

Winter getaway March 2024
Great location on the canal, quiet and peaceful. House is nicely remodeled & well stocked with everything you might need. We enjoyed eating at the places nearby including the Lazy Lizard & Silver Dolphin. Would definitely recommend!

Canal side cottage
The house was exactly as described and was very comfortable for our 3 week stay. I was a bit surprised that Hernando Beach has no beach but that's on me for not doing my homework. Even so, the house was a great base for our activities including kayaking, hiking in the preserve and side trips to the beach. The owner was super easy to deal with and so responsive to our questions and concerns. There are several waterside restaurants within walking distance with movies and shopping just a short drive away.

Stilthouse
Everything was as listed. Only negative was the condition of the bikes. Could have used blinds on other two canal side windows. We enjoyed and thanks!! We had no need to contact property manager!

Lack of maintenance doesn’t outweigh location!
During my wife’s 18 day stay: •The water was shut off for lack of payment! •The house Air Conditioning stopped working!! My wife had to cancel Sunday plans to be available when the repair man came the following day. The AC guy said he makes many visits a year to the house and the owner refuses all long-term fix suggestions. •Directv displayed the message that the service would be shut off if payment wasn't made within 5 days. Other minor things that distracted from the location: •No light upon arrival requiring my wife to use here cell phone light to climb the outside stairs and gain entry to the house. •Shower hot/cold control is reversed. This means the hotter your shower the lower the pressure due to the reversal. The local property manager said the owner knows this is an issue. •No house description folder – only flyers for local restaurants. It took two days to figure out the place had Directv because that remote was somewhere else in the house, not with the TV Remote. My wife was extremely patient because she didn’t want to interrupt her vacation and find another place to stay. There was also the “no refund” policy that turned out to be more important to the owner than anything else. We contacted VRBO after the stay and they said they would talk to owner and see if they could get us a day’s refund for inconvenience, the owner said no and said he didn’t understand where the problem was, he quickly responded to all the issues. Vacationer beware the risks!
