The host was exceptionally good about providing information about local activities and shopping. We especially enjoyed the catwalk and dock for nature watching. Being able to kayak was an added benefit. The house was well supplied with kitchen necessities and we found items left from previous renters helpful. The dishes, silverware and cookware were plentiful.

John is a wonderful host. He provided an abundance of useful information that helped us plan our stay. He was very responsive to any questions we had about our visit. The home is very nice with a well stocked kitchen. The location is fantastic with a great dock that leads to the Wakulla River. The end of the dock is a great place to relax , have a drink and enjoy watching the abundance of wildlife on the river.

We stayed over Thanksgiving and it was a wonderful experience. The house is very comfortable, beautifully furnished, with lots of amenities. John is a generous host; it’s evident he cares about his guests. The setting is serene, nestled in the lush bank of the Wakulla River, with a nicely maintained and lit walkway to the river dock. We all loved this place and will definitely be back when it’s a little warmer. Thank you John for sharing this amazing place.
