During the time we stayed, we felt that we were totally immersed in a bayou setting. It was amazing All of the sounds that you could hear at night on the back screen porch. I almost wanted to record those sounds so that I could take them back home with me. Everyone in our party Had a great time. The location is an excellent spot for visiting the springs we were able to visit two Springs in one day without too much driving. We are definitely saving this property info. This is one of our favorites for when we want to go cool off in the cool Florida Springs. ##### Lee B.

The space was exceptionally clean and the location couldn’t be beat. The size of the house allowed for our group of 5 to be together when we wanted and have a little space when needed as well. My kids wore out one of our fishing rods casting morning and night from the dock. The only draw back I could offer was there is no boat ramp on the property nor access to the 3 rivers community areas without an increase in the rental fee, this made use of the advertised canoe/ kayaks difficult. However this was a great place to stay and would definitely recommend it. ##### Carolyn J.

We LOVED our stay here. It sits back on a dead end road and you truly feel separate from the rest of the world. The home was spotless when we arrived. Walking in you notice right away the view of the river that can be seen from the dining/living area, and master bedroom. They offered plenty of amenities in the bathroom which was an added bonus. The outside provides seating around a gas fireplace, and a dock where we did see a few otters floating by. We used the canoe and paddled to the nearby springs which are incredible. Overall we could not be more pleased with the communication and everything this home had to offer. Thank you for letting us bring our dogs! We will be back! ##### Corey W.

But it didn’t hinder the beautiful surroundings. There was no power in the area but because of the whole house generator, we were able to enjoy the house. We planned our trip around going to the nearby springs, But of course they were all closed due to the Hurricane damage. Nevertheless we made the best of it and anytime with family is a great time! Being on the river was beautiful. We canoed and explored the area. Grilled out and enjoyed the hot tub. We had a great time despite the circumstances. And will definitely come back for a do over so we can visit the beautiful springs nearby. Thank you Camp Manatee for coming through for us and for the constant communication throughout the process. Looking forward to our next stay! ##### Lori R.

Fist let me say that the property is beautiful, and very well maintained. We stay in VRBO properties fairly regularly and unlike some other places that we have stayed, it feels like you are staying in a home that is loved and taken care of. The location is very quiet and peaceful, and is at the end of a road, so there is no traffic. The home is also well-stocked with everything that you might need. There is a lovely seating area downstairs with fire pit, hot tub and grill. There is also a selection of kayaks and a canoe. I would be remiss if I didn’t compliment the host. By far the best that we have dealt with. They were very helpful and quick to respond. We arrived during a flood, so our plans were a bit compromised, but they bent over backwards to make sure that we still had an enjoyable time. I can’t say enough about how much we appreciate them. ##### Eric E.

Beautiful setting along with a nicely furnished home overlooking the Santa Fe River. Ideally located near the Springs in Northern Florida. ##### Jeff J.
