Fantastic place right next to the water. Has everything you need, including a little dishwasher, binoculars, and kayaks. The kayaks were especially great as it gave us the opportunity to enjoy the water and it's wildlife whenever we wanted.

Loved it!

We absolutely loved being on the water. The place was clean and the host was very attentive and accommodating. We got there earlier than expected and the host was flexible with letting us check in a little early! We also loved the use of the kayaks, we were able to explore the area and make stops for food or drinks. We really liked the waterfront social. We had fun swimming with manatees too! We would love to return and enjoy more of the springs!

We left the location of the house. It was right over the water and you could see it on all sides. We loved that there was a floating dock that we had access to and we love that we got to see manatees right outside our door! Both Memphis and Zac were super accommodating hosts and made it feel like home

Amazing location

Beautiful river front location with every amenity needed plus. Apartment was newly remodeled and updated, even had a countertop icemaker! Spectacular views from every window allowed us to see manatee at almost anytime of the day. Community dock adjacent to property made it very easy to launch our paddle boards. Definitely staying again next year.
