About this house rental
If you are looking for a great house to hang out with friends and family, this is the place! Relaxing, Spacious home facing west so that you can enjoy the outdoor space & pool without harsh afternoon sun! From scalloping in the summer to swimming with manatees in the winter there is something for everyone to enjoy.
IF THIS HOME IS BOOKED PLEASE VISIT OUR OTHER PROPERTY FOR AVAILABILTY! VRBO # 2342296 (The Salty Pelican)
The openness of this home is its best feature, including the large open kitchen with HUGE kitchen island & sliding glass doors that open to the outdoor pool side living area. The smart TV on the patio makes it ideal to swim, grill out, fish and watch TV all while still outdoors enjoying the very best of the Nature Coast without the afternoon sun!
Make yourself comfortable in any of the three spacious bedrooms. This waterfront home sleeps 8 people (Max 6 adults). The pool overlooks the wide deep water canal. Bring your boat and dock it on our floating dock. There is also a boat launch just 3 minutes away from the property.
All bedrooms have smart TV's. In the living room you will find a twin size trundle bed that sleeps two, perfect for children.
The screened in sunroom/Lanai/patio has a large flat screen smart TV that overlooks the pool, water and floating dock. It is the perfect location for hanging out after a long day on the water.
This home is located on a deep canal with Gulf access. VERY large boats access this canal easily. There is one bridge going out to the Gulf but it is 40 feet high, so NO height restrictions. The house is about 5 miles from the scalloping grounds & approximately 5-10 minutes drive from King’s Bay, 3 sisters springs, and hunter springs and 35 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico by boat
There is room in the driveway for two vehicles & a boat trailer. No parking in garage, grass or street areas at anytime.

If pool pumps or heater settings are changed you will forfeit your full deposit.

Very nice house close to anything you could want to do and the hosts are very quick to reply and help out.

The home is very clean, neat and well equipped. It had everything we needed, and was a pleasure to walk into. The host was very friendly and fast to respond on any questions, a bonus was the home had kayaks that were not on any of the photos or information on the home, we were very happy about that. The pool was great too always warm and welcoming. The location was very convenient while being a quiet peaceful place, boat rental from three rivers marina was so close and easy to access we loved using a pontoon with the homes dock. Every room had large TV's in and great viewing options, wifi was fast and reliable. The OLNY negative in this whole experience, was the master bedroom king bed, the mattress is shot and has a huge dent on one side from someone's use over a long time, it MUST be replaced, it was a crazy thing to contend with, us trying to sleep on one side of the bed because the other was not ok. I would recommend this property all day long, we were two adults and four teens and we had a great time.

Fantastic space for a family to spend a week. Lovely screened in pool area that has a great sitting area outside with a TV. Open the living room to the outside during mornings and evenings for a seamless flow between outdoor and indoor spaces. Top notch hosts and location - will be back!

This house was perfect for our weekend getaway. The house was very clean and the kitchen had all the amenities you need. The pool and the outside porch area was absolutely perfect and such a great place for everybody to relax and spend time together. We rented a boat from twin Rivers, Marina, and we were able to dock it right at the house! I definitely wouldstay here again!
