The house and location was beautiful. We enjoyed watching the mullet, dolphins, birds, and amazing sunsets. We took the kayaks out to the gulf, just make sure you know the tide schedule so you don’t get stuck in the gulf. The house had everything you needed. Perfect place for relaxing!

David and Kelly were great hosts. Kelly checked in pretty much daily to see if we needed anything. The home was cozy and plenty of games to do inside in case of inclement weather. The home is sitting on the Gulf fishing was great we caught snook, sheep head,reds,lady fish, lots of good fishing. The outside pavilion is a great place to hang out while grilling and eating. Everything was great and we really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful Property

The house and the setting are stunning. We enjoyed the kayaks and the wildlife viewing. It was a peaceful atmosphere and the sunsets were amazing. It was an easy drive to good restaurants, grocery store, etc. There were a couple of cool windy days but we still enjoyed ourselves.

Relax and enjoy the Beautiful Sunsets

We really enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful time exploring the area. There are great restaurants and our dog loved her daily walks at a nearby Preserve. We saw manatees and dolphins right off the dock. We will really miss the sunsets. Our hosts were the best!

Great stay on the water

Nice location for nature lovers, which is what we are. Saw plenty of wading and tripical birds. Also got to see some dolphins feeding right off of the deck. Only wish I was able to capture some pictures, as that was a highlight of the trip. Nice house and well taken care of.

Osowaw Oasis

The stay was excellent from the beginning. Our family enjoyed the views and hospitality from the owners and will be looking into staying at more of their properties. Kelly and David made us feel welcomed and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our stay. This property is one of pure bliss and worked well for our large family and pups.

Family vacation

The property was amazing and everything we wanted. I had envisioned a vacation in sunny Florida with our kids where we could relax and enjoy the weather. We wanted a country setting on the water. This was everything we imagined and more. We will be returning.

Spring Hill

Fantastic place. If you want a quiet place in nature to relax after a day at Weeki Wachi, this is the place. Had a nice breeze off the gulf overlooking beautiful and relaxing scenery. One of the days we never left, kayaked and swam in the water and had a nice bonfire that night. We will be back

Perfect family get away location

This home was the perfect, serene spot for our family and dogs; even despite the unfavorable weather. The scenery is magnificent. The grounds and views made the weather a second thought. The owners are extremely attentive and personable. Perfect for dogs and water sport frolicking. We will return for sure!

Beautiful Gulf Retreat!

Our family stayed at Dave and Kelly’s fabulous home in Aripeka! It’s a great location with great bird watching, dolphins and fishing right in your front yard! Kayaking in the back waters is so fun as well!! Great location if you’re bringing your dog along as the yard is fenced and it’s set up for your four legged family member. You will definitely enjoy this home!! Dave and Kelly are great hosts as well, very responsive and so nice!

Perfect Getaway

Perfect little getaway. We enjoyed every aspect of the place. We fished and in the backyard catching nice large red drum while my husband and friend enjoyed beers and sunset. Took the kayaks and canoes out to enjoy playful dolphins. Local stone crabs store that is less then 5 mins away. Grocery and bait shops are also close by and convenient.

Private, gulf-access paradise!

The property is very unique and private. The home is stocked with whatever your family may need for a week of outdoor, boating adventures. We really enjoyed using the kayaks to explore their water weighs around the property and saw manatees, dolphin, and sea turtles. The home is in great shape, and the mattresses were very comfortable. We definitely hope to return in the future.

Not your typical Florida vacation. (Better)

This property is amazing. Although inside the home was really nice we spent very little time inside. We spent most of our time sitting on the dock, under the pavilion and on the upper porch. We also kayaked and fished several hours each day. The sunsets EVERY night were indescribable. The hosts checked on us several times just to make sure everything was perfect. Which it was. I highly recommend this property.

Super duper duper awesome

9 year old describing it Super duper duper awesome! House was great for 2 families of four with kids in the double queen room. Place had all kinds of stuff to do and use, great outdoor setup. Amazing view and sunsets. Great spot for beginner kayakers, bring water shoes for getting in and out. Bottom suite you do have to go outside to access from main area. Hosts had fantastic communication and were very helpful. Highly recommend.
