Book a hotel near Waccasassa Bay Preserve State Park, Florida

"We loved the location and the solitude. The house and grounds are extremely well taken care of. If you love animals like we do, then you will definitely love Ruby, Precious and Abigale the resident cat, dog and deer! "

"Great place to stay.friendly staff"

"The cottage was well-kept. However, we were unable to get an internet connection in order to use the TV. We called our host, Connie, and she worked to get our connection. When she was unable to do so, she was able to assign us to another cottage. That cottage was well-kept - Paddlers Cottage. The grounds were well kept. We did not use the pool or the grill. But everything was very nice. If in the area, I would recommend the location!"

"We never got to see this property thanks to VACASA's terrible customer service. 45 minutes on hold while trying to locate the property. 35 minutes of texting back and forth until they finally provided the owners contact info. She was very nice and apologetic. But we were over it and tired and booked a hotel with EXPEDIA and got a good night's sleep. "

"We had a nice stay overall and tried to enjoy the beautiful weather and scenic surroundings. The canoe experience was definitely a highlight—we really enjoyed paddling down the river and taking in the peaceful nature around us. That said, there were a few things that could be improved. The directions provided through Expedia were inaccurate, and Google Maps led us to the wrong place entirely, which made getting there quite frustrating. The photos online seem to be from when the house was newly built; in reality, much of the property felt quite old and worn down. Inside, there were barely any utensils—just a few plastic knives and plates—which made it hard to prepare or enjoy meals properly. We also found something that looked like a moth larvae on one of the beds when we arrived. While it didn’t bother me personally and I simply took it outside, I understand it might concern others (though it’s not entirely surprising given the house is in the middle of the woods). Additionally, the front door didn’t seal properly and was difficult to close, which was a bit of a pain—especially at night or anytime we were leaving the house. With a few updates and better communication, this could be a much more enjoyable experience for future guests."

"Spent a long weekend fishing. Great location with easy access to boat ramps and bait shops."
