About this property

Shellfish House- Waterfront Retreat- Covered Boat Lift & Large Screened Porch

  • Welcome to Shellfish House, where mornings begin with coffee on the porch, days are spent fishing and scalloping the Steinhatchee waters, and evenings end relaxing beside the canal at your private waterfront retreat. Perfectly situated on a quiet canal just off the Steinhatchee River, this spacious retreat is designed for fishing trips, scalloping adventures, family vacations, and relaxing weekends on the water.

The private covered dock features a boat lift plus two additional boat slips, providing space for up to three boats. You'll be just seconds from the Steinhatchee River and the Gulf, making early morning fishing trips and scalloping excursions quick and convenient.

    After a day on the water, return to Shellfish House and unwind on the expansive covered porch overlooking the canal and river. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee as the sun comes up or relaxing with family after sunset, the porch is the perfect place to enjoy the peaceful waterfront setting.

    Inside, you'll find a bright, open living area with comfortable seating, coastal décor, and plenty of room for everyone to gather. The fully equipped kitchen has everything needed to prepare meals, while the spacious dining area makes sharing stories from the day's adventures easy and enjoyable.

This property is situated perfectly on a canal that is plenty deep to get a boat in and out during all tides. The boat lift is brand new and works great. The house was clean and cozy.
