My family and I had a wonderful stay.
The cabin had more then enough room for our family to move around with out anyone feeling crowded. My favorite part of the home is the sliders that open up. So much sun shining thru all day. We didn't spend much time inside but when we did it was nice to have so much sun coming in . Only downside was the pool was never warm enough to swim in. 70 degrees and below. Over all we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it

Over all, very nice. Would've liked a better stocked kitchen (utensils) but over all great. We all had a great time. Celebrated 2 birthdays, scalloped (did exceptional).

Our family/extended family (11 of us) spent Christmas here and overall, really enjoyed ourselves. The home is located in a great neighborhood. This was our first time to this part of FL and we found some great things to do! We used the house fishing poles and really enjoyed fishing from the dock. The deck condition is fair so we stayed off of that but the floating dock is great! As others have mentioned the owner David was easy to connect with. Our one and only complaint was the cleanliness of the home. We spent part of the first day cleaning the fridge and floors. For this reason, I rated the home 4 stars.

Close to many great restaurants, which was very nice!
Home is spacious & well stocked with staples for your stay. Owners are friendly and helpful with any issues.
Refrigerator freezer leaked all over the floor due to ice buildup. Above counter wall outlet for coffeemaker kept tripping the breaker. Dishwasher kept stopping during cycles & we had to keep re-starting it. Oven was dirty & crusty inside, with thick cob webs around oven door. Some skillets has burnt, crusted food on them. Refrigerator had thick cob webs around the door openings. (As if the cleaning service had not thoroughly cleaned for quite some time.) We did address a few issues with the owner & he was very courteous & stated the issues would be addressed. Home was well-stocked with beach towels & a few beach chairs, which was nice. 3 kayaks provided - one was missing the plug. Home was full of tiny ants - which we were told the small ants were abundant in Florida all the time (however, we never encountered ants at a previous VRBO rented home in Springhill the prior year). Everyone who stayed here for the week went home with bug bites all over their bodies. We wondered if this could be sand fleas.
But it is a gorgeous, spacious home with a nice view of the canal & homes across the canal.

Property was as advertised & the owners were quick to respond. Plenty of room for everyone & the pool table kept us busy on the rainy afternoons. Nice quiet deep canal, great neighbors & having the empty lot next door made parking boat trailers a breeze.

Amazing home, we will be back next year for sure
The dishes that were washed by last tenants were dirty and everything need to be rewashed. The trash can was over flowing but I contacted David and he ordered a second trash can. Out of all the place we have ever stayed in the area for over 10yrs, this has the most kitchen supplies, everything you need to cook at home. The coffee maker has a kerig feature but is very slow. The pool was a nice way to cool off after scalloping all day. The dock cleat did break, but David said he would send someone out to fix it. David was very very helpful with questions or concerns. We will be back next year!

Nice house in quiet neighborhood
We recently spent seven weeks in the Moore’s home in Hernando beach. We enjoy this area and loved being on the canal.
We liked the openness of the main level with the two dining areas. There are three bedrooms (Q, D, 2T) and two baths on this level. The screened porch off the living room is very spacious. The laundry room is on this level, so no going up and down stairs to do the wash. The kitchen is spacious and well stocked. While the description of the property appears to be an old one (it has not been recently renovated and the furniture is not new), overall, the pictures and information are fairly accurate.
Downstairs are two bedrooms (Q,Q) and a bath (which is in one of the bedrooms) and a great room with a dining table, billiards table, TV and refrigerator. This area is accessed through an indoor stairway and then through the garage.
We found the beds to be comfortable. The dining room and living room furniture have seen better days. The seats, for the most part, sag to the point they are uncomfortable and you have to work to get up. Of the 6 chairs on the pool deck, 4 were broken.
There are three kayaks, but they are pretty beat up. There are no handles or ropes so they are difficult to handle and at least one takes on water (inside the hull). The paddles are held together with duct tape.
The owners were very quick to respond to our questions. Some of our problems they were able to troubleshoot and were easily resolved. Those they could not, they said they would take care of when they come in May. There are quite a few small items that need repair/replacing.
The biggest disappointment about this house was the cleanliness. The kitchen and baths and laminate floor were pretty clean on our arrival, but there was a lot that was not. The carpets may have been vacuumed, but there are many stains and they are very dirty. There are smears and dust on the walls. The upholstered furniture has stains and smells of much use. Lots of crumbs, candy and nuts under the couch cushions. Dog hair in corners and nose prints on windows. There are many other indicators that minimal cleaning is done between tenants. We let the owners know and they did tell us they are having problems with their cleaners.
Overall, it was a nice place and we would definitely consider coming back once the repairs and cleaning issues were resolved.

This house was awesome. The locations was perfect right on the canal and around the block from family. We were allowed to bring our Boston Terrier which made the family complete. Plenty of beds great set up for 20 somethings downstairs. To cold to enjoy the Kayaks . Would have liked a lounge chair and table by the pool but we made due without. Thank you for a great stay!!

This was a great property and as previous reviewers have stated, this home is not the newest and has does have some things that can be updated (doors, pool deck, etc..) However, we loved the water access, pool and the provided kayaks were a nice bonus. Unfortunately the owners did not come across in their communication as the most accommodating. We stayed for a week and there was just one toilet paper roll in each bathroom. When I messaged asking where we can find more toilet paper, I received a short answer that stated "we do not supply toilet paper, Walmart is your best bet." Overall everything was good and as described, I personally just like when I spend 2K+ for a stay, to feel like the host wants to take care of any and all issues I may have. (I only messaged twice once about asking where the towels were and the second asking about more toilet paper but both times the answers were very short)

My family and I visit Hernando Beach annually and needed a larger house for our stay in 2021. Having the pool added so much to our trip, as the kids could enjoy playing in the water while we were at the house. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The only thing we wished the property had is a ladder on the dock to the canal. My kids enjoy jumping into the deep water, but couldn't this year since there was no easy way back out of the canal.
We plan to visit again next summer!

Great location
This is the second test we’ve stayed in this property and have already reserved again for next year! It’s roomy enough that no one is tripping over anyone! Having access to a private pool and boat dock is the perfect combination for our yearly family vacation!
There are absolutely a few things that need minor repairs and a second garbage can is definitely needed, as large groups seem to create a lot of garbage!!!
Overall, with the pricing and location and round of the home, it works perfectly for our needs! Was glad to be able to get it again for our next annual vacation!

It's was our first time in the Hernando Beach area and we loved it! The home had all we needed for 8 adults - bedrooms, the kitchens full of supplies, linens and a/c was nice and cold! Could use some outdoor seating and only one kayak was actually usable. Owner was VERY responsive with questions. Highly recommend renting a pontoon from Blue Pelican Marina (you can dock it at the house and price is reasonable) and do visit the local reefs where we saw dolphins, tons of various birds and went fishing. Definitely eat at Zig Zag Scallops around the corner. Best meal of our trip!

The pictures of this home do not represent the actual premises very well at all.
From the broken ice maker, tack stripping exposed that we actually stepped on, broken kitchen cabinet, as well as all being sticky, having no fitted sheets on our beds, just flat ones, an unusable broken skimmer, nails popped up on the deck, to not having had anyone show up to do the weekly pool maintenance where two of the four chairs surrounding the pool were broken, not having the the master bathroom door shut because it was a slider doors and stuck, AND having to lay a board across the glass sliding door in my bedroom because so many vertical blinds were broken and/or missing so I had no privacy I was ready to give up and leave.
But, my kids wanted to stay, so after trying to come to an agreement, the owner of the property reimbursed me for what we agreed upon although I had to call VRBO twice to make sure it was done.
It’s a shame too, because with some TLC it could be a wonderful place to stay.

My family and I stayed April 3-10 with our kids ages 9-20. This was our first time in this location of Florida, which we enjoyed very much! The house is as described, large, open living and kitchen areas lots of room for 12. 5 Bedrooms good size, beds sleep 8 pairs comfortably +2 twin beds +2 couches (not many extra blankets). The house has 2 stories which is designed nicely for 2 families, providing some separation. We enjoyed the pool table, pool (not heated), the kayaks, rented a Pontoon and was able to dock right there for 3 days, took Pontoon rides out to Gulf of Mexico stopping at sand bar where kids played football in water, found crabs and even saw a dolphin 20 feet away! There is a marina at end of canal and a tikibar with good food! We took day trips to pine island Beach (20m) Clearwater Beach (1h 40m) and honeymoon island beach (1h 20m). Guys went out for a fishing excursion caught lots and made a delicious dinner. There are bars nearby that are enjoyable, people are friendly. There's a dollar general around the corner and a Walmart a few miles further. We enjoyed a dinner at the Upperdeck restaurant, great food and service! For us the house kitchen allowed for most of our meals, has an outdoor grill. There is a large screened in deck for outdoor dining. This house was clean and perfect for a large group. The area is beautiful! We would stay again!!
