About this property
Eagle Nest/Your Private Waterfront Escape on Florida's Nature Coast.
Wake up to the Gulf of Mexico, spend the day on the water, and end the evening watching an unforgettable Florida sunset from one of three private decks. Welcome to Eagle Nest.
This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath, three-story waterfront home sleeps up to 8 guests and offers breathtaking 180-degree views of the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding coastal marsh. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, fishing trip, girls’ weekend, or relaxing escape, Eagle Nest gives you the perfect home base for experiencing Florida’s Nature Coast.
Step outside and enjoy the water from nearly every level of the home. Each floor features its own spacious deck, giving everyone plenty of room to gather, dine, relax, or simply take in the spectacular sunsets.
Cool off in the private pool (or request to have it heated) overlooking the Gulf, launch one of the home’s two kayaks or stand-up paddleboard, or cruise around the area on the two complimentary beach cruiser bikes.
For the ultimate waterfront experience, Eagle Nest also features a large private dock (30 feet), perfect for fishing, watching wildlife, soaking up the sunshine, or bringing your own boat. Fishing equipment is not provided, but everything you need to get out on the water is conveniently nearby. A marina, boat ramp, bait shop, and other boating and fishing amenities are all within a half-mile of the home.
After a day on the water, head downstairs to the private bar area, complete with a mini-fridge—perfect for keeping drinks cold and enjoying a little downtime with your group.
And now, make your stay even more relaxing with private yoga sessions available upon request. What better way to start the morning than with yoga overlooking the Gulf?
Come for the Gulf views. Stay for the sunsets. Leave with memories you’ll want to come back for.
Eagle Nest is more than a vacation rental—it’s your private home base for exploring Florida’s Nature Coast.

We spent 10 days here and it was exactly what we were looking for! The house was exactly as advertised and matched the reviews from others, and the pool was perfect, neighborhood is quiet and the views are amazing. We had daily visits from a couple dolphins and saw manatees from the dock!There are really good restaurants close by, Spring Hill is 10 minutes away with all shopping needs, Tampa Airport is an hour away and we went kayaking up Weeki Wachee springs and saw manateesWe would absolutely rent again!
Great views, lots of wildlife, heated pool, fenced yard, lots of privacy, fishing right off the dock. We enjoyed Christmas week with our adult kids relaxing, cooking, listening to music, puzzling,and enjoying the outdoors. We are from the area and would definitely stay here again. Thank you!
We really enjoyed our stay. The place is as advertised and Heather was very attentive. The family really liked the wildlife interactions. We had a pair of Dolphins hang out at the dock for 5 to 10 minutes, made the trip for my daughters. Seen several manatees. The top deck was a favorite spot for the greats views of the Gulf.
This is our 5th visit, as it is close to home and perfect for a long weekend or a week! Great location and super cute house/decor. Looking forward to our 6th visit soon :)
The view was stunning and each room is thoughtfully decorated and styled. The pool area and downstairs cabana room and bath are the shining star of the property.
It would be tough to find another rental at this price point with the amenities and proximity to the beach that this has. Perfect for a family of four!
This was our 3rd visit to this property and we absolutely love it! Always in great condition, perfect location and easy communication. We’ll be back for a 4th visit soon :)
We came down to see the Weeki Wachee river and this house is very close. I wanted something on the water with a private pool and it literally felt like we were on our own private island. So relaxing and the large porches were our favorite place to be. Would definitely stay here again!
My family and I (hubby and 2 boys) had a wonderful time relaxing at this house.
Beautiful scenery all around us- we saw dolphins and manatees and enjoyed sunsets from deck each night! Would definitely stay here again when we return to Florida.
We take a scalloping trip to Hernando each year with our family and have stayed at many of the larger rental homes in Hernando before discovering this home. It is far and away the best home we have stayed at in Hernando. The house lives up to the pictures.

Ty so much!!! I’m glad you had fun. Did you get many scallops? We haven’t had the best luck this year. Heather
We had an awesome week! Rental was exactly as described. Host was quick to respond to questions. Sunsets, wildlife, easy water access, and pool were our favorites!
This home is absolutely beautiful inside and out with an amazing view. The house was super clean and beautifully decorated! We will definitely be going back!
Our recent stay in Hernando Beach was wonderful. The house was clean and beautiful, with all the amenities we needed. We especially enjoyed sitting by the pool and taking our boat out to catch scallops. It was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend it.
This house was perfect for our group! The views are spectacular from the ground level and both balconies!! We cooked every meal at the house, with plenty of space for us to enjoy together time and alone time. We paddle boarded from the dock with lots of places to explore.
The home was very nice. Has everything you need. Great location. The best in HB. Very clean and comfortable. Everything worked great. Nice pool and dock.
Great remote quiet spot for a family, kids loved the bunk room. Located on a tidal waterway, saw a manatee and lots of birds at low tide. Heated pool was a hit as the temps were 40 degrees at night. 3 Kayaks available to use from dock, pool floats available. Beach is about a 20 minutes drive but closed for bacteria during our stay. To access pool and laundry, a walk down to basement and out sliders (a bit difficult to open)to heated pool. The kitchen was well equipped.The layout:1st floor-master bedroom with bath with canal views2nd floor- 1 bedroom with canal views2nd floor-3rd bedroom with 2 sets bunk beds 2nd floor Bathroom in hall between 2 bedroomsLaundry and pool access in basementBring your binoculars- lots of birds and a manatee to watchSmall local Pine Island Beach about 20 minute drive.
We brought our small family and friend group to enjoy the outdoors and recharge before the start of a new school year. Lots of fishing, kayaking and relaxing. Absolutely beautiful location and house. It was our second visit and we will keep coming back!

About the host
Hosted by Heather Tuttle
Kyle and Heather Tuttle have been married 18 years and have 4 sweet little girls ages 16, 14, 12 and 3. They bought Eagle Nest together with Kyle's parents to have a home to relax in and create family memories.
Why they chose this property
Eagle Nest is 40 minutes from where the owners live. It is the perfect distance for a quick weekend get-a-way. The views, fishing and pool make this spot hard to leave!
What makes this property unique
They fell in love with this house because of the water views from all rooms and the amazing fishing. They often catch mangrove snapper and trout off the dock and snook and redfish from their boat. It is also located at the end of a cul-de-sac so their kids can easily ride their bikes.
