Retreat on the river

Stayed about a month. The house made entertaining easy. Kayaking right off the private dock was special. Could even paddle across the river for a meal at Riverview restaurant! Gary was very accommodating and communication was excellent.

Convenient

Worked out great for me as I was in town working on storm damage. Me and my guys enjoyed it. Rite on the canal maybe 150 yards to the Alafia river. Did a little fishing. But was very convenient for me being rite between my job and my distributors. Stayed for 2 weeks , Place was clean and equipped with the essentials. Gary was prompt in responding to any questions I had. Would stay again anytime.

My recovery stay

I just had a heart transplant at TGH and needed to stay within an hour of the hospital for my first month out. I am so grateful to have found this great home to rent for the month. It was the perfect spot to emerge back into the world after being in the hospital for 6+months. The house is really clean...freshly renovated...screened in patio was such a pleasure and having the river right out the back yard was so peaceful. The host was very hospitable and helpful and responded very quickly to any messages or questions I had. I highly recommend this VRBO option to everyone. It's bittersweet to leave...wish we were staying longer.

Really liked the place! Beautiful small house, in a very quiet neighborhood. Just the right size for 4 adults and 4 kids under 14. Kids shared a twin size bunk bed, so it was like a sleepover for them. The rooms are small but cozy. The house is well maintained and the porch is screened in, to keep the bugs out. Drive to the beach and local attractions from here can be 40 minutes to an hour, but didn’t feel too bad, as traffic was light while we visited.
