Notes:

Due to the potential cost to heat the pool/hot tub and normal electric utilities, Any electric bills over $300 for the month will be paid by the tenant. With no one in the home and the pool pump (not heater} running daily, the electric bill is $75.00 on average.

A separate swimming pool/waterfront river disclaimer/waiver will be required to be signed prior to occupancy.

No glass items on the lanai/pool. Broken glass in the pool cannot be seen.

No smoking of any kind inside the residence or under any fixed roof. to include vaping, or e-cigarettes- Outside ONLY. Smoking in the screened portion roof of the lanai is ok.

Dogs must be 100% observed/leashed while in the back yard as alligators do swim by daily. No alligator has been in the yard since I have been there in 6 years. There is a seawall but the dog may fall in the water.

No swimming or paddleboarding in the river - if you swim in the river you have now entered into the food chain.

No feeding the wildlife - ESPECIALLY the alligators. Alligators are naturally afraid of humans, however visitors tend to feed them and cause them to come closer and closer until its too late. Fed alligators usually are reported due the proximity in which they get to humans and are subsequently trapped and killed by professionals.

No parking on the street or in the grass/lawn. Only is the designated 4 spaces provided in the driveway.

About the host: I grew up in this area as a child and joined the Navy. Returned home after 25 years to be near family. I bought this house in 2017 and completely renovated it from top to bottom - piece by piece over 4 years. It is still a work in progress but only minor aesthetic upgrades remain. The renovation was a family and friends affair. I am offering the same wonderful experiences to those looking to continue caring for this wonderful charming home. I am not looking to rent to just anyone, only those wishing to enjoy it, care for it as I have and doing so without damaging it in the process.

Why this property? If you're looking for quiet, peach and relaxation in your own private area, this is for you. Great location with a short drive to many attractions.

Beautiful vacation home

We rented this beautiful vacation home for the month of May. The owner Kenny was very thorough in his tour of the home. All kitchen utensils and appliances were top notch. Any questions we had were answered immediately. The home was immaculate. I have never stayed in more comfortable rental. We sat out on back patio every night watching tv. The waterway behind the house was a very relaxing atmosphere. The neighbors were very friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to staying again!

Rappuhn Resort

From the moment we connected with Kenny, we knew it was going to be a great stay! A real gentleman in all respects, Immediately you could see he was going to be a great host and without fail, he delivered on every request we had. His home was fantastic, well kept and very well furnished, The neighborhood was very quiet, but friendly, a great place for a walk or bike ride. Fondest memories were morning sunrise with the birds and gators and preparing meals in his well stocked kitchen. Something to do or see in any direction. .
