Loved the house.

Katy was such a great and thoughtful host. Everything we needed was in the house. The pool was well maintained and gave us hours of fun. The only disappointment was that there are no real beaches. It’s a series of canals. Boating is about the only recreation on the canal.

Great Vacation

We just got back from staying at this fabulous house for the past 4 days! Katy was amazing. She texted when the house was ready and when we thought we needed to get there earlier than check in was able to accommodate us. She went above and beyond (even including trinkets for the kids at check in and some decorations since she knew we were there for my birthday). The house was exactly as pictured in the listing. It was clean and well-equipped. The pool and dock were great to relax in/by each day. The beds were quite comfy. The last night of our trip our daughter was sad our vacation was ending. The check out process was just as easy as the check-in. We plan to go back soon!

A lovely home centrally located to so many options

While Hernando Beach is not a urban area booming with shopping and restaurants, it is a very peaceful community with local flavor. Our hosts, stayed in communication during our visit to check on our needs and quickly answered any question we had. The home was ready on time and offered wonderful amenities like the kayaks and salt water pool. Hernando beach gave us a great point to begin our adventures each day from heading south to Anna Maria and Clearwater beach to north to Homasassa and Crystal River. If you happen to like Mermaids, Weeki Wachi is just a few miles away. We loved the laid back charm of the area while finding all our needs nearby.

Our family stayed for a small getaway. We loved the house, the pool, and the work out equipment 😉 and, of course, all the fun staff this great area has to offer, starting from Weekie state park and local other local parks.

This is THE place to stay!!

The property was so cute! The location was nice because it was close to everything we needed but in a quiet and safe neighborhood. The hosts are the sweetest and even had us a welcoming gift when we opened the door. And my fave part… this property was hands-down the cleanest place we’ve ever rented!!!
