Guest access Some Hernando Beach rentals require a boat lift to reach open water. This one doesn't. We're on the "direct" side of Hernando Beach — your boat goes from our private dock straight to the Gulf, no bridges, no boat lifts. The public boat ramp is also a few minutes away if you're towing in. You have full run of the property — both floors of the house, the pool, tiki hut, dock, kayaks, and yard. Self check-in via keypad — you'll get the code before arrival. Other things to note - Two-story home with no first-floor master. The full kitchen, living room, master bedroom, and sunroom are all upstairs. Stairs are required to access the upstairs. If anyone in your group has mobility limitations, plan accordingly. - The dock is floating (rises and falls with the tide), so tying up your boat is straightforward — no need to leave extra slack. - Heated pool runs around 80°F in winter. Pleasant for swimming but not hot tub temperature. Set expectations with younger swimmers or anyone expecting a heated spa experience. - Hernando Beach is a working canal community. Expect normal sounds — neighbors, boats coming and going, fishing and shrimp boats early in the morning. Quiet hours apply but life happens here. - Hurricane season runs June through November. We monitor weather closely and will reach out proactively if anything threatens your stay. - We don't live on-site, but we're reachable by message anytime — Brian or Janine.
