Great place! Had a wonderful stay. Great outdoor area with both sun and shade. Pool was great and especially enjoyed the large screened in area on the second level which was great for morning coffee, meals and sootting manatees. Area on canal just off the main river was good too. Saw manatees most everyday and even dolphins a couple of times. Highly recommend.

The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking. The property was well maintained with plenty of beds and bathrooms. The screened in porch was nice to sit out on and the pool was a lot of fun. There were plenty of floaties for the pool and plenty of kayaks for everyone to use. The house is located on a corner of two canals, so we were able to see the Manatees swimming from both sides of the property.

We really enjoyed everything about this place. There’s plenty of room for a big group and we liked all the space.Saw lots of manatees and kayaking was great which was a new experience for us. Lots of local places to eat and things to do. The pool looked inviting but just too cold for us to get in! We did have some warm and sunny weather! Some things need attention to fixing but overall a great place to stay.

Love love love this location. Easy access to main river and away from all the river traffic. Yes the river does get congested with all types of water craft and swimmers. Go out early to beat the rush

We love staying at this house. It has literally everything you need to keep adults and children occupied and its close to plenty of things to do. When we aren't out checking out springs and surrounding areas we love spending time in the pool or fishing right off the dock...this year we decided to throw a crabtrap in and were pretty successful for not trying to hard. Space is perfect where everyone can spread out but still be together in common areas. We were lucky to see manatees right out front this year which was so awesome...everything about this house and the area is perfect for a family vacation
