Poppy’s place was the perfect set up for our family scalloping trip. We go with our extended family and this location had space for all of us. It was nice to have indoor and outdoor space including a charcoal grill, dock, and screened in porch. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was clean. Highly recommend this property. Thanks for a great stay!
One of the best VRBO's we have stayed at in Steinhatchee
We do a company fishing trip every year for our team members and end up using VRBO's. This place was great, and the little additional apartment on main level gave us enough room for everyone.

Wow! Thank you for the review! We enjoyed having ya'll and hope you will think of us in the future when you return to Steinhatchee.
Very clean and organized for our family! Brian was very responsive and willing to work with our schedule. Perfect for multiple families or teenage kids. Separate den area offered was a great asset to our family. Short distance to Kathi’s for dinner and only about 15 min out of the channel.

Beautiful and spacious home in a quite location. We all loved the screened patio and the fixed bridge with the chairs. A very relaxing and quite atmosphere.

Thank you for the kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. My favorite place is that screened porch!
The property was even better than advertised. Very clean and spacious living area and bedrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with all the items needed for a large group to prepare and eat all of our meals at the house.
We would definitely stay again. Highly recommend Poppy’s Place.

Thanks for the staggering review! We are so pleased your group enjoyed your stay! We look forward to having y’all again!
Our stay was wonderful!
There were 7 of us staying for the weekend to scalloping and kyakking the river.
Location was perfect. Access to the local grocery, restaurant, the marina and steinhatchee falls all were very close.
The home is extremely clean and well equipped with everything we needed.
Im greatly looking forward to returning next year!!

Thanks for the review! Hope you guys make it back this year!
10 out of 10! Very clean. Best stocked place ever. The outside is so unique, we saw manatee & gators off the dock. We were able to keep the boat right on the dock, so convenient. Kitchen was great too. Loved it and will try our best to book it again.
I’ve stayed at many VRBOs, and this is at the top of the list. The property has great character. It is well stocked, clean, and comfortable. Bedrooms have ample room, and the sharks den offers privacy if anyone appreciates that. Kitchen was stocked with everything needed and more. Owner was easy to communicate with and overly helpful with questions.
Gorgeous home and property! Perfect for our group of 2 families with teens. Kids loved the shark den and having their own space! Home was so beautiful with every amenity you could imagine! Neighbors where we were able to keep our boat for quick launch to scallop were so friendly. Such a hidden gem!

Thanks for the great review! Hope you will come back soon!
One of the best places our fishing group has stayed at in the past 10 yrs. Close to everything. Super cool layout. Very comfortable. We fished off the back dock every night while we relaxed. Very clean with plenty of bathrooms and comfortable beds. Large open format kitchen with everything you’d need to prepare a large meal. Highly recommend this place.

Hi Ray, Thank you for the terrific review! We put a lot of thought into making Poppy’s Place special and we are glad you appreciate it and enjoyed your stay !
My friends/family and I stayed here during the crab festival and had a blast! The pictures listed don't even begin to describe the beauty of the house and property. There was a group of 8+ that slept comfortably here and everyone had their own space. This house is very close to the marinas and restaurants. I highly recommend to anyone considering.
