This was an amazing property right on the water with great views of the sunset and the gulf. The pool and hot tub were perfect for relaxing during the day and night. Every amenity was amazing and the deck space unparalleled. The hosts were very welcoming and gracious. The place was immaculate and we will definitely be back.

The attention to detail was outstanding, asking what some of our favorite food/drinks were. The house was immaculate, the views were outstanding. The fishing was great right out back. The swimming pool was its own little oasis! We can’t wait to go back!

This was our second stay and it was just as enjoyable as the first.
Details that I didn't cover in a prior review:
-Numerous things are provided to enhance your stay (kayaks, fishing gear, etc.).
-The property binder is thorough with instructions on everything you need to know about the house.
-Little details are covered like labels on light switches and fan operations, multi-prong outlet adapter by the bed.
-Fast wifi (to appease my daughter)

Wonderful house and hosts!

We rent houses along the coast monthly and have a couple of small bins worth of stuff we've learned to bring with us...we didn't open them on this trip.
Where it seems like a starter pack of a few essentials is commonplace in rentals these days, this experience was the total opposite. Deborah reached out to get preferences in advance and the house was very well stocked when we arrived.
Communication with Deborah and Carol was excellent. The guidebook had detailed instructions on everything imaginable and local recommendations.
Enclosed porches on both levels and an outdoor balcony give so many options for enjoying the beautiful surroundings.
Two floating docks, one with power and water were great for our boat (lowest tide was still 8' deep). A long gravel side spot held my truck/trailer (about 55' total) with plenty of room to spare.
Inside the house was spotless, modern, spacious, comfortable and full of everything needed to enjoy the stay.
We are looking forward to coming back!

We LOVED this home! Deb was amazing to work with - we literally had everything we could possibly need. We have never stayed in a VRBO with so many amenities and so well stocked. The welcome bottle of wine and cold water in the fridge was just what everyone needed after a day of travel 😊. Thank you for opening your home to us. We absolutely loved our stay.

The property was exactly what we needed and everything they said it would be. The home was in a beautiful area where we felt very secure. There was a wonderful welcome basket and the house had everything we could have needed. We don't bookmark many homes but this one is locked in for another visit.

I’m hesitant to give such a good review as I don’t want this listing to always be booked! This was an IMMACULATE home with every added convenience one can imagine. I could’ve just brought a bikini and a few outfits and I would’ve been set. I honestly felt as though I was at my own home with all the extras they provided. Carol the property manager was A+ and the owner Deborah A+ too. We will definitely be back!!

Amazing Vacation Location!
This was our 2nd vacation at this beautiful home and it didn’t disappoint. Deb has once again thought of everything and Carol is always easy to reach with any questions. The home is lovely - clean, well stocked, beautifully furnished and very comfortable. You’re never at a loss for something to do… swimming, spa, hot tub, kayaks, bikes (great addition), fishing - the options are numerous! Great peaceful location and a wonderful place to make vacation memories! Can’t wait to return!

Completely Blow Away! Exceeded every expectation.
The property is absolutely gorgeous. The amenities and hospitality is like no other……
The owners placed a complementary order of the “staples”. SERIOUSLY! The staples included refrigerator stock full of drinks and food. A gift basket with two bottles of wine and other yummy goodies.
There were paddle boards, a paddle boat, Kayaks, pool float and pool toys.
Everything was pristine and the house is completely adorable.
An amazing stress free vacation that was worth every penny. Communication with management company and owner was excellent!

Beautiful house!
This was our second stay at this property. The attention to detail to make our stay enjoyable is above board. Be sure to check in before you head to the store for groceries. The refrigerator is well stocked with essentials. The location is also very convenient to the gulf and much easier than navigating the Homosassa river.

Another amazing vacation!
This is our second time staying at Debs for a week of scalloping. The house is incredible, clean- stocked- and in a perfect location! The bikes this year were a great addition to allow us to scoot up the road for a quick bite. Deb and her manager carol are outstanding and think of everything! We want to keep coming back to make more memories at this little slice of heaven! Thanks deb and carol!!!!!!

Everything you need
We have stayed in dozens of rentals across Florida and the USA and this was the most renter focused house we have been to. Not only was the house wonderfully updated but they had anything you would ever need available in there. Everything from sandals to snacks. Water and soda and basic groceries in the fridge ready to be used. Kayaks, paddle boat, fishing poles, crab baskets and bait for all of it. Games for the adults and kids to play at night. There was even a pair of readers in a drawer that grandpa used when he couldn’t find his! It is very close to several restaurants and the state park is only a few more miles down the road. I would highly recommend this property and if we come back to the area we will be staying at this house again!

Waterfront Paradise - 5 Star Home
Such a lovely and exquisitely decorated home in a quiet neighborhood - just amazing. This home has absolutely everything you could possibly need for a wonderful vacation. You can swim, relax in the spa or hot tub, fish, bike, kayak, take out the paddle boat or paddle boards or just soak in the view from the new deck or poolside! Deb has thought of even the smallest of details. The welcome baskets and vanity trays were so thoughtful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

Beautiful house, BEST STAY EVER!!! <3
This house is absolutely amazing! My family and I had an awesome time!! The house is super clean and had everything we could possibly need, and Deb was so thoughtful with the welcome baskets! This house has a gourmet kitchen with all of the amenities, and the luxury master bathroom was like a sanctuary. Our family really enjoyed the pool, hot tub, bikes, kayaks, paddle boards and paddle boat, and fishing from the dock. We also enjoyed the awesome views from the new deck. Just an all-around spectacular property and vacation for my family - thank you!!! We will definitely be back!

Hard to leave this paradise!
Words can’t describe what a perfect vacation rental this was! We frequent Airbnb properties locally to enjoy someone else’s waterfront/ fishing. We brought our boat up from Sarasota for a week scalloping and this property did NOT disappoint!!!!!! The house itself is beautiful, and newly remodeled. We had 2 couples, but easily could have filled the third bedroom. The lay out is big, and open. Perfect for entertaining !
The new deck is amazing, offering breathtaking views down the canal to the gulf. The saltwater pool and spa was a perfect end to our long days out on the water...... the house is equipped with everything you could need, and then some. The personal touches she takes to ensure her guests are well taken care of did NOT go unnoticed. We used the paddle boards a few times, and loved the games that were provided. The dock space is amazing, our boat was very protected!
Communication with Deb and the property manager were so easy. Both wonderful women to work with.
We have already started looking at dates to book in the upcoming months just to get away for a few nights. We came home relaxed and happy- total 5 star vacation!
Thanks for everything, we WILL be back!!!!

Beautiful house!
This was our first stay at this property. It was definitely the nicest home we have stayed at in Hernando Beach. It was recently very tastefully renovated. The house is stocked with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. We were really surprised how nicely the kitchen was equipped with pots, pans, utensils, etc. This property will be our first choice for next years scallop trip!

Absolutely wonderful and stunning property on the canal with access to the Gulf!
This was our first time staying on the Gulf Coast to explore the area. This home had everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay. The owners provided everything you would need to have a wonderful vacation. The kitchen was stocked with condiments and spices with everything one would need to cook a wonderful meal to enjoy in their beautiful dining area or on their enclosed porch looking out at the canals where we saw dolphins while eating breakfast or to enjoy the screened in area on the lower level to relax in the seating area or use the hot tub. The outside pool and hot tub is gorgeous and so inviting and you can see the canal. The amenities are wonderful. My husband fished with the fishing gear that was provided (along with the frozen bait; thsnk you) and caught a stingray as well as the fish that got away. Our friends lived two channels away and it was fantastic for them to pick us up on the dock there to go out and explore! We later learned that you could rent boats for your stay which you could use at tie up at the owners dock to go out and explore on your own. They also have kayaks and paddle boards and so much more for guests to use which are more great amenities. As to Deb and Drew's home it is so tastefully decorated and furnished and so comfortable and welcoming that it was a pleasure to stay there. It was also spotless and the property manager was so helpful and available that we would recommend this home to everyone if you want to stay at the best in Hernando Beach for a wonderful vacation. Thank you for the complimentary chocolate covered fruit and wine. It was a pleasure staying at your home and being your guest. If we could rate your home at ten stars we would!

Wonderful home in an awesome fishing community
This home is beautifully remodeled and ready for just about anything. The Gulf is a very short boat ride away or you can just hang out in the pool or jacuzzi and relax. The property manager was great to work with and the reservation process was a breeze. We will definitely come back on our next visit to the area.

Perfect Family Vacation
This house was the perfect place for our family get away. It was all brand new on the inside and they had everything you could have needed or wanted. The location was perfect and we spent most of our time in the heated pool and jacuzzi. We really enjoyed fishing (caught a few) and crabbing (caught plenty) on the docks and my 6 year old even caught a blue crab with his fishing pole (made his trip). We saw dolphins swimming from the screened in sun room twice on the trip and the kids loved that. We've been to many vacation rentals over the years and this was for sure the nicest and cleanest of them all. All the little details made this a very comfortable stay. Would highly recommend!

Amazing and the TOP of the list- Water Front Paradise with Direct Gulf Acesss
The name speaks for itself- PARADISE! The view as soon as you enter this home is breathtaking! You’ll see an open space and the sea is very visible. The set up of the house is perfect! You can see that the owners are very artistic with a touch of feeling at home. Why? The owners think of everything. We felt so welcome with the wine and edible arrangement and my name on it. I love the chocolate covered strawberry! Anyway, the kitchen refrigerator is fully stock from mayo, to mustard, salad dressing, different flavors of creamers, bottled waters, juice. This home has coffee maker, blender, espresso machine. If you love to cook, the kitchen has everything from pots and pans to the spices that you will need whatever you will be cooking. This paradise has TV in each room and the living room has a HUGE flat screen TV that is very user friendly! The remote controls were so easy to operate. One other thing that really impressed me is the little thing that this paradise provides, “the in case you forget something” (vanity kit for men and women), I mean who would think of that? I seriously appreciated it when I took my shower and I forgot to bring my body wash. And that kit had everything in it. A body wash is included including the body sponge! It has shampoo and a hydra recharge hair conditioner. It has toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash, shaver etc etc etc... and get this even mosquito repellants! The owners think of everything!
This paradise also have paddle
Boards, kayaks with life
Jackets... oh and the swimming pool with jacuzzi is to die for! They also have jacuzzi inside the house and Ding ding ding.... this paradise has its own elevator! Surprise! It was very convenient when we had heave things to carry like our luggage etc since this paradise has elevator. Again the first one in all of the rentals I have ever experienced.
They also have fishing poles, a deck where , I caught my first BIG fish! It was a very good feeling.
All the rooms are nicely decorated, it has its own theme and the bed are so comfortable. A1+
I highly recommend this paradise to all of you. I have experienced a lot of rentals like this from AirBnB and First
Time with VRBO, and so far, this is the BEST!!!
Thanks to the owners and the manager
For Having me as your guest. I will treasure all these unforgettable experiences here. I will definitely come back. My guests with me were all satisfied and these two have great taste and they love this paradise!

AMAZING!
Everything about this trip was excellent! The property owner and the property manager both went above and beyond to make sure our stay was good. The house, pool, location was all perfect. The house is newly remodeled and is beautiful. We had plenty of room for the whole family. We have stayed at many houses in Hernando and this one by far was one of the best! We will definately return. Thank you all so much for everything!
