Lovely home in the canal

Beautiful clean home. Well located. Two bedrooms and a nice size sun room, huge TV on the living room. Everything you need to feel at home. We enjoyed the pool, it is Summer so the sun kept the water warm. Did not use the dock, but there is one, did not get to see the dolphin but saw lots of fish. There is a grill and kayaks. Jabo's BBQ food truck and Lei Lo Tiku hut on the water restaurant, are very yummy eats just 4 to 5 minutes drive away.

Our stay was over the top and the house was perfect. The pool overlooking the canal of Hernando Beach to the ocean was great. Bonus for the home was the pool and the lanai. My family had an excellent experience and will return again to visit my family and to come back to my hometown to visit. Thanks for a great experience.

Fantastic stay

We stayed at the house for three weeks. The home is cute, comfortable, and very clean. On the water, we watch pelicans and dolphins every day. A short kayak paddle to the sea grass you can watch lots of dolphins come in and play. It is close to great restaurants with amazing live music. We took a short trip to the aquarium and a sanctuary. We had a great mix of busy and relaxation. Bill and Carol were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend this home and hope to come back soon.

Loved our accommodations.

Wonderful accommodations with everything that we needed. Beautiful setting on the canal. Home was clean and spacious for four adults. Too cold to use the pool but we did heat up the hot tub twice during our visit. Carol, our host, was quick to respond to any questions that we had during out stay. Highly recommend.

Tranquil Retreat

We are locals who just wanted a nice quiet place to stay and relax. This home was perfect for us! Inside is well appointed and spacious. Decorated with a serene beach side theme. Outside is outstanding! Beautiful views. Spectacular Sunsets and native wildlife including dolphins who come right up to the dock. We did not have a boat but it would be a great spot for those that do. As I said I am a local whose lived here 37 years. I love Clearwater Beach and that surrounding area but this home is superior in being lovely and comfortable away from the noise. However it is located near the action and awesome restaurants too. We intend to go back!

Great get-away spot with bay access

My family of 5 (3 teen girls) had a relaxing week in Hernando beach. The house had a master bedroom a guest room with a queen bed and a bonus room with 2 full size mattress so all girls had their own bed. Pool and hot tub worked and we spent a lot of time there and under the covered patio. We used the kayaks in the channel and saw dolphin, manatees, and lots of rays. Beaches in the area are rocky and need to drive 1 hr to get to a good beach. This is a great spot for a low key relaxing stay.

House is great, problems after checkout

This house is awesome. The garage was full of construction materials, but it seemed like the bathroom was recently renovated so hopefully that is a temporary issue. The beds are comfortable. The water pressure is great. There is no bathtub. I think the listing indicates there is a tub (not an issue for us, but might be for people traveling with small children). The major problem was with the host charging for the propane to heat the hot tub. This was not in the listing (and I reviewed it thoroughly). When I refused to pay the request after checkout (and contacted vrbo to explain the issue), the host charged it as a damage to the property and it billed to my card. I challenged it with my credit card and informed the host that the listing did not indicate that the hot tub was heated with propane or that the cost of using the hot tub would be in addition to the total rental cost. She admitted that the listing did not disclose the information. She then requested payment for the pet fee. I booked the property using a link she sent that, per her message, included the pet fee. I quoted her message back to her and stated that I have already paid that fee. She has yet to cancel the payment request. In short, the property is great but not worth the headache after check out.

Great Location!

We enjoyed our weekend at this rental. The property description is accurate. We liked the pool and the fact that we could keep our boat right at the dock. The ride out to the open gulf is literally only 5 minutes. There’s a washer/dryer, and everything you need in the kitchen to cook with. Even though the home is dated, it was clean and comfortable for my family. I’d definitely recommend this house to others. Brittany S.

Spring Break with grandchildren.

What a wonderful time we had vacationing in your home. Our 3 grandchildren had a blast. Fishing, swimming and relaxing in the hot tub. It was wonderful having the pool and we spent the week outside. A dolphin swam right out around the dock and they had a blast fishing. We went over to Clearwater and had a beach/ pier fishing day. We loved our trip.

Great location, property needs work

Property was lacking maintenance and proper upkeep. Gutters do not have down spouts of any sort and during a storm drained near bedroom windows, sounding like a loud bath tub faucet. Found cockroaches, reached out to property manager, who sent out a maintenance guy. Informed us it was not a big deal as those were Palmetto bugs, not cockroaches. PALMETTO BUGS ARE COCKROACHES.....location was amazing with great views. Saw a dolphin and stingrays in the canal, and my son had an amazing time fishing all week, so that part of the trip was great. Property just needs quite a bit of updating and maintenance.
