About this house rental

Old and new Florida charm coexist for a relaxing and comfortable stay in this clean, charming, newly renovated home tucked in a treasure location between all that is tropical, beach, and water. Our location is unique in that you do not have the expense of staying directly on the water yet have access to a dock (just steps from the property) for boat dockage. There is a neighborhood bridge with a 84” clearance at king high tide.

Coming with boats and trailers? Not a problem. Thanks to the exuberant amount of parking on this property, you can arrive and unload your gear, trailer the boat to the boat ramp 2 blocks away, park the trailer back at your doorstep, and dock the boat steps from your temporary abode. Being a boating family, one of our greatest goals was to make access to the water as easy and cost efficient as possible.

The prize of this home is the backyard oasis. The myriad of sunny days, 249 per year, is the inspiration for this tropical getaway within a getaway. Beginning with the refreshing saltwater pool (heated for an additional fee) and ending with the stately 390 square foot tiki hut with ambient lighting, the in-betweens will delight also such as the propane firepit for cool evenings, the outside shower for a convenient rinse (especially after a salty day on the water), the convenient outside-access half bath, and spacious turf for cornhole and other game-playing. This oasis will continue to pull you outdoors for entertaining and relaxing with a grill and grill tools for preparing your catch of the day, a full-size fridge for easy access to libations and snacks, a teak table for dining for 8, and lounge seating and a large TV under the tiki.

The host has thought of everything in this house! It is so clean an cute and has all the amenities you would ever need!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
This lovely home has everything you need for a wonderful vacation. The outdoor space, yard games, tiki hut with tv, pool, and grill was amazing! The indoor space was comfortable and decorated beautifully, the kitchen contained everything you could possibly need. We utilized the nearby dock access for fishing and also an easy walk to the river. We used the bikes and beach equipment available at the house. Location is great with a short drive to the beach and shopping just minutes away. We enjoyed everything about our stay and can’t wait to return!

I have nothing but positive things to say about this property - the instructions and welcoming messages from the host could not have been clearer - the property itself was spotless and had everything we needed and more! Our questions were answered promptly and fully. We would not hesitate to stay there again!
