Love! Love! Love!

From our 1st view of the house to the property we were hooked. The kitchen was stocked with anything you would need or forgot to pack. The bathrooms were also stocked with practically anything you needed or again, forgot to pack. It was all about the previous mentioned, the bowls of candy and so much more that made this more of a home rather than just a rental. Thank you again Michael & Michelle for letting us enjoy your home.

Absolutely Beautiful!

This house is roomy, lots of windows and beautifully decorated. Plenty of comfortable outdoor seating, both shade and sun. Views are amazing! Kayaks can be launched from the dock. We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Peaceful Estuary Stay

Loved the uniqueness of the home and the many levels of peaceful views. Was lucky to enjoy a beautiful sunset one of our evenings and used a few of the home's kayaks. There was plenty of fun spaces for all to sleep and the kitchen had all the necessary items to cook our dinners. We enjoyed dining at Crump's Landing on the Homosassa River, visiting Crystal River and the Three Sisters spring (swam with a few Manatees), although we were unable to keep our boat in the water on this home's floating dock due to a very low tide. The air boats seemed to be enjoying all the nooks and crannies though.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Stevens

Michele and I are parents of 10, love to travel, and are always looking for adventure.

Why they chose this property

This is where I grew up. Because of the majority of land being state and federally protected, it looks about the same as it did when I was growing up. They call it Florida's Nature Coast because of this. Step back in time and see nature up close! http://floridanaturecoast.org/

What makes this property unique

This home is the last home you can drive to on St. Martin's River. It has direct access to the Gulf of Mexico without any speed restrictions. Only a 10-15 minute boat ride to the world famous scallop spots. Decks on the main and top floors giving you a panoramic view of the water. Grab one of the kayaks, launch from the private floating dock and check out nature as it must have been before all the modernization and industrialization!
