We had 2 four people families so 4 adults and 4 children and even my parents stayed at a nearby hotel and would day trip to this unit. The water behind the unit isn’t as sandy as the photos BUT it is crystal clear, no dangerous currents and the kids loved diving off the deck.
The unit comes with 4 kayaks and a quick 3-5 minute paddle and you are in sandy, pristine spring heads. Everyday there are manatees traveling up and down the river.
The two rooms have independent bathrooms. Lots of privacy not having to share bathrooms. The kitchen is well equipped and the living area is very comfortable.
The unit is freshly remodeled and a joy to stay in. We would highly recommend this unit compared to a more expensive unit further up the river.

We had a fantastic time at the Hidden Jim! The house was clean and organized. The 2 beds were very comfortable. The water off the dock was nice and clear. We kayaked and saw lots of wildlife. We saw 4 manatee, including a mama and baby. We also saw cardinals and a huge owl in our yard. There were bats across the river that flew over the tree tops eating the bugs at sundown. None of them got close or bothered us, but it was neat to watch them fly around. Up the river we passed by the “Hot Dog” boat, they sell hot dogs and ice cream right in the water. We had a great time and look forward to visiting again!

Family trip with the 11 and 13 year old. We had the best time, this is a fantastic spot on the river. We swam, kayaked, fished. The house had everything we needed. (Shampoo:conditioner, dish soap, sponge, garbage bags, salt pepper and having a washer:dryer is great with all the wet towels. I had groceries delivered because we got in very late. There is so much wild life here. We saw otters, bats, owls, manatee, cardinals, it was amazing. The bugs in May are terrible. Make sure you are using spray and cover your body to avoid the noseeums. I hope the owners add a fire pit and hammock in the future. We already booked another trip. One last thing, there isn’t cell service but they do have very strong wifi. I took video calls for work with no problem. I recommend water shoes if swimming off the dock. Enjoy, it’s magical

We stayed with our family of 5 at this hidden Jim house. The location on the river was better than I could have ever imagined! We spent 3 amazing days kayaking and swimming and the experience was almost magical!! The house was nice and recently remodeled although we truly spent most of our time outside! There was a dock in the back yard to sit on and watch the people pass by and to get in and out of our kayaks. There was also a nice screened in back porch to protect us from the noseeums in the evenings. We enjoyed the river so much and it was hard to say good bye! One of our most favorite vacation rentals ever!
