Awesome Escape

Lots of fun! Brought the boat, zipped up and down the Suwannee, saw manatees, relaxed at Fanning Springs, caught lots of bream in the main river, dinner at Roy’s in Steinhatchee, dessert at Legends, and tubed down the Ichetucknee on the way out. Great stay!

Labor Day vacation

My family rented other houses but this house was definitely the hang out spot with the boat ramp across the street and the large dock we were able to dock 3 boats and there was a giant tree swing for the kids and a nice fire pit for s’mores and hanging out at night. The house was newly updated and gorgeous! There was plenty of room in the house for family to come in and make a plate of food! I really loved the rocking chairs and deck to watch the sun rise over the water. We will definitely be back!!

Long term winter stay

Our goal is warm winter weather which Florida offers. That goal was accomplished with our 1st visit to Old Town. Area great for: fishermen, boaters ( across street from Joe Anderson Park hosting angling tournaments). Nature Coast Trail for bicycling and walking. Plenty of motorcycles and restaurants. RV park across canal. There were early issues with property conditions which the host responded to but shouldn’t have been necessary.

Great Vacation Escape!

Laura’s property was perfect for what we were looking for in our vacation. We love to explore new places in our boat and this property was a perfect base for our boating adventures. With it’s own boat ramp and beautiful, huge dock on a canal away from boat wakes was a real bonus. We cruised to the Gulf of Mexico (28.3 miles) and cruised up river to the many crystal clear springs and also went up the Santa Fe River and then up the crystal clear Ichetucknee River. Laura’s home was well maintained and furnished well with a very comfortable bed. A huge bonus was the dumb waiter to get luggage to the elevated home. Laura is a perfect host and now, my friend.

Nice, but...

As many of the other reviews have stated, this is a nice place on the river. It is comfortable and decorated nicely with direct access to the river and a balcony to sit on. The kitchen is fully stocked if you wish to cook. While the listing says this waterfront house is "freshly renovated", to me it appears that two of the most important rooms in the house, the ensuite bathroom and the guest bathroom were not. When we arrived, I saw that the bathtub in the guest bathroom and the shower pan in the ensuite bathroom were both, what I thought, very dirty. I let the host know this, she apologized and sent her housecleaner over within a few hours to give it a refresh in her words. The housecleaner worked for over 1-1/2 hours on the tub and shower pan trying to clean them; however, in the end, the shower pan looked a little tiny bit better but the bathtub did not look any better and was still brown and looked dirty from front to back. In my opinion, the bathtub could probably use a reglazing or needs to be replaced and the shower pan, too. I can't recommend this place to anyone who is skeeved out by a dirty or dirty looking bathtub/shower. The rest of the house was immaculate.

Everything we hoped it would be for our 39th anniversary. From the "dumb waiter lift" that helped us bring our luggage, etc upstairs, to the convenient seafood restaurant at the end of the street, and the great tranquil boat ride on the Suwannee River...we loved everything about your beautiful place! Thank you for sharing your awesome property. Would very much like to revisit! :-)

Cozy, comfortable and the perfect restful location for a sisters’ getaway. Loved sitting on the porch watching the fish jump and simply relaxing. The beds were comfortable and the decor was cute and we loved everything about it. Access to a plethora of activities in the area if you want to see old Florida and enjoy small town charm!

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT

Everything about this place was wonderful! From the communication with the host, if you like outdoors kayaking in nature it's the place for you! The property itself inside was immaculately clean furnished very nicely and had everything that you could possibly need to accommodate your stay on the Suwannee River. Laura The Host was absolutely wonderful, she let us get in a day early and offered us suggestions on where to eat and where to go. If you ever stay in the area it's the perfect place for a small family. We will be staying there on all of our trips into town.!!
