Tell Me About The Outside:
This property is equipped for excitement and relaxing with several comfortable sitting and hanging out areas. There is a large 50’ Smart TV under the large pavilion pole barn. You will also find a stainless steel gas grill with a side burner. For fun there are 4 single adult kayaks and 1 triple canoe. Cornhole is also available.
Have a boat? Bring it, there is a floating dock to tie up to. Boating is great in this area for scalloping, fishing, hanging out at the Hernando Beach Flats and cruising around. If you get hot you can make your way up the Weeki Wachee River, just a couple channels North.
Like to fish? You can do so right off the dock. You will see mullet jumping in the mornings and we have also seen sheepshead and seasonally snook. It is also likely you will see manatees, dolphins, turtles and all kinds of birds.
You are welcome to use kayaks and canoe at your own risk. Life jackets and paddles are available.
The yard is partially fenced in around the house to secure in furry friends. Please be aware that there is no fence along the water.
