Amazing View

This house was perfect for our group! The views are spectacular from the ground level and both balconies!! We cooked every meal at the house, with plenty of space for us to enjoy together time and alone time. We paddle boarded from the dock with lots of places to explore.

Beautiful place

Beautiful clean place with lots to do for our family with kids. The sunsets were beautiful and it was great to have so many amenities. Heather responded quickly to questions. The only bummer was that the pool heater was broken and since we were visiting in the winter the water was too cold to swim. Would definitely check if it’s fixed if I were to come back.

Beautiful home!

Our recent stay in Hernando Beach was wonderful. The house was clean and beautiful, with all the amenities we needed. We especially enjoyed sitting by the pool and taking our boat out to catch scallops. It was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend it.

Perfect for all!

We had a fantastic time. The place is beautiful first of all, and the view is amazing. There was always something to do so we never had the feeling that we needed to go somewhere else. Between swimming, kayaking, or fishing (with our own poles), we also had down time watching movies, playing games such as checkers or Uno, or reading books. There was a lovely book about flower arrangement that I enjoyed. There were also some toys to keep my 11-month old happy and preoccupied. Great place! We would love to do it again.

Great place to stay

We had a wonderful time Heather was super easy to communicate with and we had no problems with anything We swam in the pool, fished from the dock and caught fish, used the kayaks and bikes Was amazed at how much the tide differed every day The highlight of the trip was when we had a dolphin swim and spent a good ten minutes right around the dock We also had manatees swim by everyday We checked out a few of the local restaurants and all of them were delicious We will defiantly try to get back sometime Thanks again Heather for sharing your place

Spring break

We absolutely loved our stay. The house was clean and cozy. The kayaks we took out every day. Plenty of space on every deck to enjoy the view from all levels. We saw dolphins, stingrays, and manatees! Host was incredibly easy to get ahold of. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Beautiful Sunset Views

The pictures of the sunset don't do the views justice! The sunsets are amazing and we have so many pictures of the beauty! We were able to do some fishing off the dock and even did some kayaking. Had a hiccup the first day on arrival as the internet wasn't working. I was able to put my IT skills to work and get the new modem and router setup. Spoke to Heather and her husband and they were very quick to respond and we were able to get it fixed that first day. It is a quiet neighborhood which was nice and we were able to spend time at the pool watching the kids (and joining them) swimming. The gas grill worked as it should and I was able to cook a few meals on there. The outside TV by the pool wasn't working. I did text Heather and she responded right away, but I never did anything with it as we didn't need to have the TV on out there. Overall this place was a nice relaxing stay!! I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Second Christmas Stay

This is our second year staying at Heather's beautiful home in Hernando Beach. We absolutely LOVE everything about it. It fits our family needs so well. Two teenage kids. We fish, kayak, rent a pontoon and spend time at the Flats. Lots of dolphins and manatees this year. Thank you for a perfect stay. Christmas was perfect again!

Relaxing Birthday Getaway- Outdoor living at its best!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful gulf front home with spectacular views and welcoming outdoor living spaces! We enjoyed the pool, use of the kayaks and standup paddleboard. (Note: It's easier to get on and off water vessels during high tides) We brought fishing equipment and caught lots of fish right off the huge dock. (Bait shop was right up the road.) Loved the privacy being on a cul-de-sac at the end of the canal with full view of the sunsets, that were simply amazing! We enjoyed the boats and wildlife going by while sitting on every level of the house! We saw dolphins every day, even from the kitchen window! We even saw a manatee, and that made my trip complete! Lastly, kitchen had everything we needed to make a few meals. We checked in and headed right to Publix to stock up (there is also a Wal-mart close by). We also stopped by local specialty shop, Cupcake Heaven, for special cupcakes to celebrate my daughter and my shared birthday. Highly recommend! I would definitely recommend this house to friends and family!

Last minute booking and needing to house a large family. This place was a perfect fit. Quiet street and direct waterfront made this place a perfect fit. The house was super clean and well equipped. We will definitely book again if available.

Great waterfront property for scalloping and fishing

This property was perfect for easy access out to the scalloping areas, with easy access to the boat ramp and dock for any size boat. Communication with the owner was above average and made us feel very welcome. No complaints! However one suggestion, we could have used hand rails in the pool and boat areas for a couple of the older members of our party.

WOW! Exceeded our expectations

Based on the amazing reviews and pictures of this wonderful home we knew it would be great - but in fact it was awesome.!! The home was immaculate -cleaner than any VRBO I have stayed in. The house was decorated beautifully and the furniture was comfortable, Best of all the beds were comfortable ! Kitchen was fully stocked with anything you would need for cooking and serving meals. Kayaks were provided but we did not have a chance to use. The pool was terrific. Every night we were treated to an amazing sunset, Most days we enjoyed appearances by dolphins and manatees. Quiet, relaxing and refreshing vacation for sure. Recommend the kayaking at weekie watchee state park. Also all the great hiking and biking trails at the preserve. Enjoyed a few delicious dinners at Brian’s. Also recommend the Silver Dolphin for an amazing breakfast. We Look forward to returning. Also - Heather was awesome - she checked in with us and was so responsive whenever we reached out with a question. Highly Recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Heather Tuttle

Host profile image
Kyle and Heather Tuttle have been married 18 years and have 4 sweet little girls ages 16, 14, 12 and 3. They bought Eagle Nest together with Kyle's parents to have a home to relax in and create family memories.

Why they chose this property

Eagle Nest is 40 minutes from where the owners live. It is the perfect distance for a quick weekend get-a-way. The views, fishing and pool make this spot hard to leave!

What makes this property unique

They fell in love with this house because of the water views from all rooms and the amazing fishing. They often catch mangrove snapper and trout off the dock and snook and redfish from their boat. It is also located at the end of a cul-de-sac so their kids can easily ride their bikes.
