I had an amazing stay! The place was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and in a great location. Check-in was super easy, and the host was very responsive and helpful throughout the trip. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and stress-free stay!

This is a very well equipped home with the owners thinking of everything down to K-cup teas, coffees, different types of sweeteners, etc. Plenty of cookware and spices to go with whatever you're cooking. This was like a home away from home experience and I loved the porch swing. Unfortunately, we were only able to stay one night. The ONLY reason I did not give this place an excellent is because we couldn't dock our rather large boat outside. A smaller boat would have worked, but otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and the place is right around the corner from the main restaurants in Steinhatchee. I would definitely consider another stay at this home, Woody's place!

Love Steinhatchee

We had a great time and enjoyed the convenience of being on a canal with access to the Gulf. Scalloping was awesome as usual. This was a very comfy place to stay, had all the necessities, and the owner was very attentive during our stay to make sure we were comfortable. Wonderful experience!

As Advertised

A group of 5 of us stayed here the weekend and it was perfect. The AC got cold and water pressure was great after a day on the water. The ride through the canal is about 5 minutes but note that we were topped out with a 21 foot boat. Be cautious of the tides. The property was located behind Kathy’s and was very convenient. Would definitely stay again!

Weekend Getaway

Everything was just as described and more. The view off the back deck in the morning while drinking coffee….Awsome!! Swinging on the front porch in the afternoon breeze.The kitchen was not lacking anything, no ice maker was the only downfall. But you are literally minutes from the store. My only complaint (and I really shouldn’t because I forgot to turn on the dishwasher before we left😬) apparently some animals had gotten into the trash and made a mess. I would definitely recommend his home if you want a place to just relax in peace and quiet 😊
