Such a nice place on the river with only woods across from you. Well stocked kitchen, cozy furniture, boat ramp and super long dock on property makes it perfect for a scalloping or fishing trip with your own boat! Great host, communicates quickly with you!

Loved this place!

Great kitchen and living room space to watch football and cook our scallop meal. The dock was perfect for our two boats with enough space for a third. Loved the view while we drank coffee. Very clean and the host was wonderful to work with. We will definitely be coming back next year.

Beautiful Home on private property

Home was beautiful & off of a private gravel road with a gate. Private boat ramp & floating dock was very easy to use and convenient. Boat ride to inlet was about 50 mins. Any issues we had while we were there were quickly taken care of by the host.

Great House

Really nice house. Modern, open floor plan. Great views of river. A little long idle in boat to the gulf, but scenery is nice - and there’s nothing wrong with a little boat ride. Communication with owner / manager was easy and very efficient on a couple questions I had. We really enjoyed our stay!!

Great house on the water

The pictures do not do this place justice, the great room was really wonderful for our family to prepare meals, play games, and spend quality time together, all with a great view of the water. The boat ramp and dock were excellent for our 22ft Bay boat and we had a great time scalloping.

Perfect House

The Hatch House exceeded all of our expectations. Great location on the water with ramp and plenty of dock space for two boats. Also ample parking space for vehicles and trailers.

Riverfront oasis

We loved the privacy, the river views, and the peacefulness of this home. Minimal boat traffic so we were able to paddleboard right from the house and launch and dock our boat right there. Plenty of room with each bedroom having its own bath. Highly recommend.

Beautiful setting on the River

3 couples enjoyed our stay on the River. Very clean and a well equipped kitchen. Wish the weather was warmer so we could have enjoyed the deck and dock. Only thing that could have been better about this rental is that there is no shower in the master bathroom, tub only. Host was great to work with and answered any questions we had promptly.

Amazing

We stayed at the Hatch house for our annual scalloping trip this year and it was hands down the best trip so far! Everything thing about the house is wonderful. The boat ramp and dock make it so much easier when bringing your boat. The location is quite, peaceful and beautiful. We even had a pod of manatees playing in front of the house for 20 minutes. I can’t say enough good things about the Hatch house. We will definitely be booking here again!

Great House for large group with a boat

This house was great! Very clean and all the amenities you would expect. The best part was the private boat ramp and dock to tie up to. Everything was very family friendly.

About the host

Hosted by Danny R Fontaine

Host profile image
Dan and Heather have been coming to Steinhatchee for years to go fishing and scalloping. We decided to buy a place of our own so we can spend more time here. we are not ready for full time so we decided to share it with others so they can make memories as well. I hope you all enjoy the Hatch House as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

The Hatch House has some of the best views on the river. Across the river from us is a lush wooded forest and wetlands owned by the state. We have a boat ramp on the property so you don't have to wait at the ramp. There is room for your trailer too! We have a 30 foot floating dock with plenty of water in any tide.
