A must stay …rated highly for a reason
We loved that it was secluded and had so much onsite to do. Kayaking, hot tub, fire pit, games, fishing poles, and all the essentials needed for your stay. The sandy back yard was perfect for our infant. We really enjoyed it as did our teenage son who loved taking the kayaks out. It’s not too far of a paddle to beautiful water. Water was a bit low when we stayed but so nice still. We would stay again!

Excellent Location
This little house was perfect for our family of 5. Comfortable and roomy. The kids slept well in the beanbags one of which was opened fully. Our 6 y/o granddaughter said it was her own personal nest! King size bed was almost as comfy as my sleep number bed at home! Daughter slept well in the queen (?). Teenager did use the fold out bed a couple nights and was pleased. The kitchen was well equipped with anything you could need, and then some. And a Crockpot! Yard games provided were very much appreciated during our downtime. The kayaks were a huge perk! We were able to paddle out several days and we did see manatees! Pay attention to the tides to make it easier to get out. So much to do in the area, and great food. We walked one of the nearby piers and saw dolphins! What a treat!If you like putt putt golf the Congo River is a must!Anyway Mary was great with communication and provided clear instructions re: hot tub, thermostat, etc.Highly recommend this quaint little home!PS: Parking may be tight if you have two bigger vehicles. Sweeping may be a daily task because of the sand, especially if there is alot of in and out. Not a bother for us, but may be for others.

Florida cold snap
Upon arrival we did have some issues with the cleanliness of the house, however Mary had the cleaners return and resolved the problems promptly. She was kind enough to check in again the next to day to make sure all was well. The house is very cute, and is by far the most well stocked Vrbo we have stayed in. They really did an amazing job in making sure you have everything you need. The Florida weather did not cooperate at all the day of arrival nor the next day, but we tried to make most of it. On our last full day the weather finally was decent enough to be outside so we tried to take a clear kayak down the river. Unfortunately, there’s not enough water to kayak through the canal the house sits on to get to the river. We’re not big people and still got stuck in the mud repeatedly in such a short distance we had to go back to the house after about 1/4 mile and still didn’t see deeper water. The water is very mucky and brackish and is not somewhere you can get out the kayak to get unstuck. Obviously this was a huge disappointment as we rented this particular house for the kayaks and the river. I understand the weather, including water depth can’t be controlled however I just wish we knew in advance so we could have adjusted our plans accordingly. This prob is a great place for kayaking during other months when there’s enough water. The 1/4 or so mile we did see looked pretty scenic. the next day, but we made the most of it.

Peaceful and Fun!
We stayed 5 nights having had a busy few days in Orlando so welcomed the change of pace and peacefulness. We enjoyed the hot tub, views, games and most of all the kayaks. We went out a few times and we found it took us 12-15 minutes to get down to the main river. We took our time because the canal the house is on is so quiet, the reflection of the trees on the water is beautiful. We loved it!
The house itself is well stocked and the beds comfy.
I hope to return one day and would recommend to others.

We loved the place. My only complaint was it not being directly on the clear waters and having to paddle a little ways down to get to the clear water. I would have liked less rocks in the sand in the back yard. But everything else was amazing. And I miss the comfortable bed so much already!

Home away from home
We really enjoyed this property and all its amenities. It's very well appointed, clean, and comfortable in all respects. The neighborhood is quiet and tucked away. Access to the canal without being on the main (crowded) canal is perfect. We saw one magnificent manatee in Weeki Wachee even late in the season. The backyard area is perfect for enjoying a quiet morning or evening watching for local cranes that frequent the area. We would stay again.

Had a wonderful girls weekend here!! House was adorable and had everything we needed. We like to eat in, so did Publix delivery and the kitchen had all the tools to prepare it. Enjoyed the hot tub, beach backyard, talking to people floating by and nightly bonfires. Took a short (30 min) trip to Florida Cracker in Homosassa to say “Welcome back” to the monkeys. So many other things we could have done, we’ll have to schedule another trip!!

Amazing family vacation
This property was amazing for our family get a way. We have a family of 5 with 3 teenage boys and they had something to do all the time. The listing is completely accurate and the inclusion of the kayaks, and paddle boards make this property so helpful. The house is off the main river so you will have a decent paddle out and back, but once your on the river you won't come off for the day. Mary is a great communicator. She will check in with you throughout. We had a couple of concerns during the stay and they were immediately fixed and handled.. that is all you can ask for. If you are a family looking for a amazing getaway this is your place to stay!!

All the comforts of home!
This home was comfortable and cozy. The kitchen was GREAT and had everything you would need. Mrs. Mary really thought of everything. There was body wash, shampoo and conditioner in both showers just in case you forgot to bring your own. The master bed was so comfortable and very nice furntiure not just mix and match furniture that was found on the side of the road. The outdoor space was really set up for an enjoyable hang out spot. I took a few naps in the hammocks;) The only that would have made it better was being a shorter paddle to the main river but for the price, the home, the convience to town, and the owners being very nice and available made it more than worth it. Will definitely be looking at staying again in the future.
