Waterfront Escape | Hot Tub, Kayaks & Fire Pit

Summary:

Wake up on the water and end the day in the hot tub under a Florida sunset. This bright 3-bedroom Hernando Beach home sleeps 6 and includes a private dock, 2 kayaks, backyard fishing, a waterfront fire pit, grill, ping pong, and outdoor dining. Spend the day exploring Weeki Wachee, nearby parks, and the Gulf Coast, then come home for cocktails by the water.



The Space:

Come for the water. Stay for the backyard.



Set directly on the water in Hernando Beach, this bright 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat was made for laid-back Florida getaways. Paddle from the backyard dock, fish without leaving the property, soak in the hot tub, or settle around the fire pit as the sun goes down.



Inside, you’ll find a fresh, comfortable space with two king bedrooms, one queen bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and plenty of room for up to 6 guests.



📌 NOTE: A digital rental agreement MUST be signed prior to arrival, and you will need to provide a copy of a legal ID with a verification selfie. This cannot be done in person. The booking guest must be at least 23 years of age to check in.

David M.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Positive: the host was very timely in responding to questions. The property is as advertised as far as amenities. It includes kayaks, ping pong, board games, hot tub and outdoor gas fire place. Negative: the yard had broken glass along the ‘beach / kayak launch area’ in the grass. Also, of important note, the outside AC compressor is mounted to the wall along 2 of the bedrooms. It is extremely loud and prevents sleeping. Our rental was during a period of cool nights so we were able to turn off the AC during the night. But if staying during hot months, this would be something to consider.
