About this rental
Gorgeous newly renovated Florida style home with teal colors and cedar wood accenting throughout the open-concept living and kitchen areas. After entering the house thru the beautifully landscaped entrance area, you immediately see thru the back patio glass doors revealing the large in-ground heated pool and a stunning view of the river lined with palm trees--the favorite aspect of all the guests. You will have the best view of the sunset sitting under the pavilion where you can enjoy sitting on the comfy outdoor furniture while having a drink or eating breakfast while watching the many varieties of wildlife in the morning sun including ducks, turtles, Blue Heron birds, and the largest gathering of Peacock Bass that you will find anywhere. Activities available:
KAYAKING: Four kayaks are easy to jump into from the dock at any time and the waterway connects to Lakes Osborne and Lake Ida. Life jackets provided.
FISHING: This house sits on the most famous spot for fresh water fishing in South Florida and our dock is best known for being a spawning area for countless Peacock Bass and in fact people travel here from all over the world to fish near our dock!
SCUBA: If you would like to study scuba we have our own SCUBA instructor offering the most affordable private training at any time you prefer in your own backyard pool! For complete certification we go to the nearby Blue Heron Bridge beach dive or jump on open ocean dive boats.
The accommodations include a master bedroom with a queen bed and a second bedroom with a full-size bed that can sleep 2 people if needed. The gorgeous hall bathroom is shared and it has a combined shower with a bathtub. The living room also has a pull out sofa-bed for a total of 6 people to sleep on 3 beds. The new kitchen has an oven/range, microwave, dishwasher, over-sized sink, coffee maker, toaster, abundant pots/pans/cups/dishware/utensils. A new clothing washer/dryer is provided as well as a large internet TV in the living room with firestick apps as well as a smaller internet TV in the master bedroom. Swimming towels are provided. Guests gather around the large kitchen island that has built-in plug outlets for phones and computers. There is also a quaint breakfast table area. Our guests fall in love with this place and never want to leave!
Additional features included free of charge: Hi speed Wi-Fi, beach chairs & umbrella, high chair & crib, 30 ft boat dock (fresh water river connecting to Lakes Ida and Osborne), printer & filing cabinet, free use of kayaks.
Not included: You must bring / purchase your own fishing supplies (it is not recommended to eat anything caught, only catch and release for fun; most abundant fish is the famous Peacock Bass). We provide swimming pool toys as we are able, such as a pool volleyball set, however, these items wear and get lost quickly so we can not promise what will be available.
We also offer SCUBA DIVING experiences and training at an additional cost; please inquire for these details. The pool is 7ft deep and 30ft long which is adequate for training and certification by our very own PADI SCUBA instructor who has many years of experience and is fully insured and in good standing with PADI. Typically only 3 days are needed for completing the Open Water certification: one day in the pool, one day at Blue Heron Bridge, and a third day in the Ocean on a dive boat (or at the bridge or other location). These lessons are private or semi-private, no more than 4 students at a time, and you enjoy huge savings being our guest as we do not charge hidden fees such as SCUBA gear rental fees.

About the owner: Being a local realtor, I first saw this property two years ago for sale and immediately envisioned it as a short-term vacation rental (as did 6 other buyers who were all battling for the same vision). After moving here from the cold north I am passionate about sharing the Florida lifestyle with everyone I meet!
Why this property? When people come to visit they are in awe of the beauty of the property and the the way the gorgeous scenery in the back of the property seems to flow into the house thanks to large glass slider door panels that make you feel like you are one with the outdoors and gorgeous sunsets lighting up palm tree silhouettes. The most amazing aspect of this property is that you feel secluded in a nature reserve and yet you are only walking distance away from amazing shopping, dog parks and the famous Boynton Mall.

Beautiful home with private heated pool.
Loved this house. Everything we needed was on hand. Close to a beautiful beach. The heated pool was warm and inviting with the river view. Would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to friends.

Relaxation at its best
We had a great stay at Kirk’s house. The pool was amazing. We have stayed at a lot of homes in Florida and this is the first time we used the pool everyday. Perfect temperature, clean. Kirk was very attentive. If you need anything he is right on it. The kayaks were great. Lots of wild life. Turtles, ducks, peacock bass, raccoons, iguanas, even had a possum come and visit me while I was at the pool. On a busy road out front, but you wouldn’t know it being out back. Close to everything. 8 miles from the airport. Would stay again.

Great place and great host
It had everything we wanted and whatever we might have needed Kirk provided. The warm pool was fabulous and even though the weather was chilly and windy we were able to swim everyday! Although there was only on day that was not too windy to kayak we did so that day! Jill

Thank you so much for the kind words April, this is our vision for the house coming true: tons of entertainment and comfort even without leaving the property—swimming/fishing/kayaking! You were amazing guests and the cake you left for me was yummy. We absolutely want you to come again!
The best service ever
Kirt is my best host ever and they cleaned the house in the morning even skipped breakfast. Everything is perfect and I will be back again and again.
