Being located directly on the river allows you the leisure to just hang out with friends and family & provides direct access to the river.

We love manatees. We love mermaids. We love nature.

Once we found this haven, we fell in love and just had to create a retreat to share with you and your loved ones. Please take care of the house, the river, and the wildlife, and enjoy these precious moments of downtime and while we have cable and Wi-Fi, we recommend you take this time to unplug and reconnect with each another and Mother Nature.

Relax on the deck watching the wide variety of fish, manatees and kayakers year-round. If you’re feeling adventurous, our dock provides easy access into the 72-degree water. Life jackets, kayaks and snorkel gear are provided.

Be safe, the swift 3 mile/hour current can be challenging! Always bring a life jacket and whistle while kayaking on the river; it's the law.

We promise to strive to make this the most special place and getaway for you. If there is anything we can do to enhance your stay, please let us know.
