Holiday rentals with a kayak in Western Europe

We really enjoyed our stay in this home! The host was very helpful and responsive. The highlight of our stay was definitely the ability to kayak right out the back door - we paddled out into Mud River Springs and saw manatees absolutely everywhere. It was a magical experience! The yard was peaceful and it was relaxing to sit out with coffee on the deck and watch the wildlife (squirrels, birds, fish). Situated in a small quiet neighborhood (but still close to all the activities we came to the area for), we couldn’t have imagined a more peaceful place to spend our week. We really loved this spot and hope to enjoy it again someday!

The area sustained 2 Hurricanes in the previous 3 months. The home was in surprisingly good shape. The home was well furnished throughout and pleasantly decorated. The exterior of the home needs some work, but did not affect our stay. The area is awash with no-see-ums. We all were constantly getting bit despite bug spray. There are 4 good double kayaks, paddles and life vests. There were not back rests for all 8 pisitions. The back rests that were present were not very good. There is room on the property for a sizeable camper with hookup (main reason we chose this spot). Weeki Watchee State park is near by. We spent probably close to 10 hours over 4 days (all combined during our 7 day stay) and only saw Manatees on one day. All in all, we had a really nice time. I honestly don't know if we'd stay in this immediate area again (mostly do to the no see ums). The hosts are very pleasant and responsive.

everything was petfect

We had a great time staying here. This was a really fun place on the river. We got to take advantage of the kayaks and do some exploring. Would definitely stay here again. Host was very responsive and accommodating.

My boyfriend and I had such a nice little get away here! This place was so cute and homey, we were cozy hanging by the fire outside and in the living room watching tv or playing our board games we brought. Multiple options to choose from for the kayaks and the river was so peaceful. We also had all the cookware we needed in the kitchen. I would love to stay here again with my mom and sister, they would love it!

My group and I had an amazing stay! Corey and Armando were amazing hosts; super responsive to any questions and flexible to my requests. They even provided great recommendations for things to do in the area. Home was beautiful and in a great area. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful view of the lake. Peaceful and comfortable. You have everything you need in a home away from home! Fast response from our host. Would stay here again.

Will definitely come back again ! Kayaking and fishing experience right in the backyard was a great experience ! Helpful instructions for fishing from the host ! Very relaxing and fun backyard !

Beautiful, private, relaxing stay in the Nature. The cottage has absolutely everything you will need for a whole family including babies to have a great vacation. Luisa was a great host and made us feel most welcomed! She suggested activities in the area around in addition to those available at the cottage itself and answered promptly, when we needed her help. Thank you for everything! :-)

We spent New Year’s at Leah’s place, and it was absolutely amazing. Her guest house is so cozy, and she’s an incredible hostess. Not to mention, her place is dog-friendly, which made it even better! It was such a memorable way to ring in the new year.

Very responsive host, easy to communicate with! When something is missed by the cleaner, frank was able to help us with solution. The place is very quiet and peaceful, very recommend for small families.

What a great location for a cottage! The included boats (canoes & kayaks) are really nice. We went in late October (end of the season) and the neighborhood was nearly deserted. We were often the only people out on the lake. It takes about 20-25 minutes to paddle over to one of the several waterfront restaurants in Port Severn. Trevor's communications were very precise and easy to follow. Only negative comment concerns the well water. It's not just high in minerals, it is so high in minerals that it smells terrible and you really don't want to shower in it.

Beautiful winter stay at well equipped comfy cabin! Definitely need 4WD and snow tires for the roads up in Haliburton. But so beautiful and peaceful with gorgeous view of the lake. Deer come through the property regularly. Cabin warmed up quick once wood stove got going. Beds were very comfortable. I only recommend visitors bring dry firewood to get fire going when you arrive. :-) Great experience would love to book again in fall.

We loved our stay at this cottage. It fit our family nicely between the two houses. We love the peaceful surroundings, enjoyed the roads with snow for cross-country and did snowshoeing through the forest. The extra side house was a bit cooler temperature wise (but that is because it was -12'C outside), and the main house is probably warmer since it has extra baseboard heating. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. We also loved the antiquish look to the place. Would stay again!

We loved staying at this cozy cabin! The water views were simply gorgeous. Our two dogs were very comfortable and loved the yard. Our kids couldn’t get enough of the screened in porch. The only thing I would give a heads up on are the roosters next door. They started crowing at 6:30am and didn’t let up until 8:30am. Then they randomly crowed throughout the day. It didn’t really bother me, but it woke up my kids and thus they woke up my husband and myself. So, just something to be aware of. Everything else was absolutely perfect.

We had a great time trading the Indiana cold for manatees, fresh seafood, warm weather and beachside sunsets. The place was perfect with great amenities!

Had a great stay and enjoyed every moment as well even got to experience a storm on the water. 😱

This place is incredible- serene, peaceful, and cozy. It is exactly what I was hoping for. Jon was helpful & responsive and I can't recommend this place enough

Absolutely enjoyed my stay. This will be a place I hope to come back to many times in the future. Tim and Amy were very kind and responsive. The cabin has everything you could need. Some highlights for me was sitting in the hot tub while the sun set and hearing the creek babbling by. I also love that the campfire is in a cozy little spot just off of the water. Instructions were very helpful in dealing with the heating and lights. Perfect stay!!

I’ve been to many Airbnb stays all over the US and this is my favorite one. I had my first crab trapping experience and love the dock/patio with the fish cleaning table. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The hosts were great and very responsive. Can’t wait to bring my family back here!

Lynn was a very responsive and kind host! We had some bad weather during our stay and she reached out to make sure we were aware. Not only that but she let us take shelter in the next door home with a lower level. Truly went above and beyond and made us feel right at home and well cared for.

Had a wonderful experience at this cottage, couldn’t have asked for a better stay :)

Beautiful cabin more then worth it. Fantastux spot to spend vacation while searching for cryptids.

Cabin was perfect for me and my wife’s mini-honeymoon. Cozy, clean, and nice and quiet to unwind. Staff were super helpful, especially when my wife had trouble getting wifi access to do some schoolwork - they got it taken care of right away. Fully recommend and would visit again.
