This is the second time we rented this house and it was just as great as the first time. It truly feels like you’re in your own home. It’s perfect for a super quiet relaxing weekend. Home is well maintained and comes stocked with kayaks as well. Really enjoyed ourselves.

Everything was perfect with this wonderful stay right on the water. We especially enjoyed fishing from the dock, seeing the wildlife, especially the cormorant fishing underneath the water. The house was clean and well stocked. My wife and I enjoyed coffee on the screened in porch every morning. 10/10.

If you’re going to be in Hernando Beach area, this is the place you want. It is well stocked with everything you need, some nice treats when you arrive. There is nothing we did not like about this house. Being on the water was great and having four adult kayaks supplied with the house was a great bonus.

I absolutely love staying here. Accommodations are beautiful. I love sitting outside by the boat dock and watching the families of little duckies on the water. Truly relaxing. The host is extremely responsive. Would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Beautiful home in Hernando Beach! This place is an absolute gem! We loved our stay. The location is unbeatable. We have spent countless weekends in Hernando Beach and this home was by far our best stay! We even had a Mama and baby dolphin visit us in afternoon. Definitely recommend 10 out of 10. We will be back 100%.

We kayak with manatees and dolphins. The host was great with communicating and making sure we had everything we needed and answering all my questions. Such a beautiful home.

The host was welcoming. The home was beautiful with everything we needed. Lovely kitchen, cozy living room, nice dining area with view of the canal. The outdoor space was nice but the weather was a little chilly so we didn’t get to enjoy as much as we would have liked. This is a place we would definitely stay at again!

Look no further, this is the rental you want! Very well stocked with everthing you need and many extras you didn't know you needed or wanted. Very clean and well maintained home that feels very comfortable. Tons of wildlife seen from the deck and in the channels including manatees, dolphins, stingrays and the fishing from the dock was so fun! Kayaking out to the mangroves on the kayaks provided was such a bonus. This house has everything you need for a great vacation stay. Hosts were very responsive, you will not be disappointed. YOU WANT TO STAY HERE!!!!

We had a wonderful stay, despite the gale force winds and chilly temperatures that were there when we arrived. There was a welcome basket with snacks, which we appreciated. We especially enjoyed the K pods with hot cocoa. The view of the canal was spectacular and the decor was beautiful. We took advantage of the Kayaks and used them to paddle down the canal. So much fun!

What a lovely home! Beautifully decorated, full of light, wonderful water views, and well stocked with everything needed to feel truly like a home away from home! I really appreciated the coffee bar stocked with coffee pods, creamer and vanilla syrup! Bathrooms were spacious and well appointed with helpful items (makeup wash clothes, q-tips, room deodorizing spray, bandaids, etc) provided. Lisa was amazing to communicate with and very responsive. We felt very welcomed and comfortable throughout our stay!

Our family really enjoyed staying at Tidewater. Lisa was so easy to communicate with. They have such a gem and they really take pride in their home. It was really clean and equipped with little things that you didn’t even think about. We stayed here for my husband birthday because he wanted a place to relax and fish and this long weekend hit every need. And we truly felt like we were home. We want to plan another trip to their home and stay longer.
