We loved the area, and unit was super clean and roomy with everything we needed including kyaks, life jackets, and paddles for them. we had a fenced yard for our sm. dogs. We recommend that you rent a pontoon if you want to really experience the whole area. We rented one for 350 for all day at the State Park called Crystal River, I think. It was like really close to this house, like out the road to main road, left then Left again to the park . No pets on the pontoon though fyi. We found the channel this house is on from there easily and stopped in for lunch at this house. Have Fun, the owner is also great to work with. It has a large garage for your car or stuff too. I would not try to kyak to 3 sisters , a bit too far, but loved, to kyak for an hour or 2 all over the channels. they all go out to Crystal River but we didnt want to go that far.
