Wonderful place to stay for scalloping
What a great place! Despite its small size, it was incredibly roomy and comfy for our large group. Kitchen was well stocked. Mix of police/patriotic and river/coastal decor was neat. And having corn hole boards made our trip perfect. Will definitely try to stay again next time we go scalloping

We enjoyed our stay. Can’t complain about a thing. Plenty of parking and beds.
There was an overwhelming smell of the home (moth balls). It was a tad much.

Great place for large group
The place was great for our group of 9 scallopers. The back room was a bit warm for the kids but there was a fan they used in addition to the ceiling fan.
FYI the place has a moth ball smell that's fairly strong.
I would stay there again.

Steinhatchee scalloping trip
House was great and it fit our group well. The back room did get a little hot for the kids but we brought some fans. All in all it was a great place to stay. Great place for a large group.

Nice Get Away
We were a group of 9, we all come to fish. It provides plenty of space and the hot water lasted through all of us daily. The porch was a huge win for our family. There was plenty of room for 3 trucks and boats which is always a win.
We would stay here again.
