Enjoyed the pool, space and area
The place was spacious to host our group and we had fun hitting the local restaurants and smaller towns around the area. We learned that there is not direct/easy access for boating to get out to major waterways. It requires going through a "lock" or gate with boat which is a little initimdating if youre on a family vacation and adds significannt time to get out of the smaller waterways. May be worth renting boat thats held elswhere with quicker access to open waters. Kayakaing sort of stuff nice and accessible

Perfect Slice of Florida Paradise
The home was absolutely perfect for our group. With multiple rooms having the space and privacy to accommodate married couples comfortably and a small infant. It allowed for those wanting a little down time or to go to bed early to do so with out being disturbed. The bottom floor was so perfect for the evenings full of laughter and games! The pool was wonderful!! The highlight for sure! All the seating accommodations all over the property really allows for max comfort and enjoyment of your company. Can’t say enough how pleased we were. All of us said we are coming back next year! A lot of delicious locally sourced food was enjoyed around the kitchen island. My only regret would be not taking advantage of that bath tub on the last night! Haha There's always next year! Highly recommend Casa Menta for your family & friends! 5 stars all around!

Wonderful weekend at Casa Menta!!
We had a long weekend girls trip with our teenage daughters and it was great! The house is sparkling clean and we basically lived in the pool. The kayak launch was super handy too! The owners Joe and Colleen were wonderful to work with. We had a Cat 1 hurricane come through near the end of our trip and they were flexible and kind. Highly, highly recommend this property!

Girls trip
We had such a great weekend! It was beautiful, accommodating, spacious and lots to do! We had a minor issue but the owner took care of it as soon as possible. We spent hours in the pool and had a great time on the kayaks! Just a chill, relaxing weekend! Booking again for next girls trip!
Only one recommendation-more garbage cans, especially one outdoors.

Perfect!
We were looking for a big place to share with another family, 4 adults and 6 kids. This place was perfect. Very well stocked with nice appliances and everything thing you would need to prepare any meal. The pool was beautiful and heated. I would definitely recommend this home!

Lovely property with everything you need!
We enjoyed our stay at Casa Menta in Hernando Beach. We were in town for a family wedding and this property was close to everything we needed including food, bars and restaurants, and activities. With that said, you really don't need to leave the property because there is so much to do whether enjoying the water (canal or pool), fire pit, or having fun with all the games available - ping pong was my personal fav! I've stayed at a number of VRBO properties and these folks have seemed to think of everything! Thanks for sharing your beautiful accomodations with us!

Great rental
This was a place I rented for family coming down from up north for my retirement. When my family walked in they were so excited. They thanked me and my wife multiple times. The only complaint out of any of them was they had to leave. I’ve now had a least 3 people asking for rental information for this property.
