What a wonderful home. It was plenty big enough for the eight of us. The grandkids enjoyed the pool and all the toys, it was so nice to have. Very happy that the pool had a baby fence, it gave us peace of mind. There are so many extras in this home, we are now spoiled and it’ll be hard to live up to. Did I mentioned the extras: snores bar, snack station, coffee and hot chocolate bar. A personalized welcome sign to greet us. We played connect four, rode the bikes, fished off the dock, kayaked around the canals, and so much more. The beds were so comfortable. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas which was a surprise, we all loved that. We enjoyed breakfast at silver dolphin-large portions and good food. You can feed the turtles while you wait for your breakfast. Visited Homosassa Springs- a must to see the manatees. Many attractions not too far away- rainbow springs, air boat tours, fishing charters, pine island, putt putt and more. Everything was in excellent condition including the kitchen pans to the life jackets. The owners were really prompt at responding to questions, always checking in to make everything was ok. Definitely recommend this home. Thank You for all that you do!

Beautiful property, very clean, lots of space, great neighborhood, excellent communication with homeowner, and loved all the personal touches! This is our 4th stay in Hernando Beach and would definitely stay here again! Book this property - you won't be disappointed!!

The property was beyond amazing, and communication with Josie was exceptional. The house was perfect, from the cleanliness to all the amenities. The kitchen is stocked better than my own! You honestly don't need to bring much other than clothes and food. I've stayed at many VRBO's but none as well stocked as this. There were plenty of towels for showers, and an entire setup by the pool included towels, sunscreen, and a mini JBL for music. Outdoor games, baby toys, games, and cards were just a few of the items we used. There was so much I couldn't possibly list it all, but to say I was impressed is an understatement. We highly recommend this home . Bring your boat! Access to the gulf is right around the corner.

If you are looking at other places, look no further! This is it!! There were 7 of us, with 5 kids, so space and amenities were very important. There are at least 5 large areas just for hanging out, whether on a hammock, swing, or rooftop watching the sunset, there was plenty of space for us all. Josie has thought of everything, and laid out everything you could think of. Just bring your clothes, because almost everything is provided. There are four kayaks, one of which is a two-person, and we paddled out to the Gulf. The house is about 30 min away from Homassassa, where we went scalloping. We brought the scallops back and cooked them on the Blackstone and had smores, also which was provided by the house. We have stayed in other houses in Hernando, but this is by far our favorite. Thank you so much for your hospitality. It felt more like I was staying with a friend, then a rental, Thank you!
