Hi we're your hosts, Joe & Josie, owners of Hernando Hideaway. We’re a husband and wife team, originally from Pennsylvania. We invested in Hernando Hideaway (our first vacation rental property) in 2021. We spent a year fully renovating the home. We had our sights set on coastal property in an area that still had a small town feel. We fell in love for the fresh seafood, the boating community, and the locally owned restaurants. We are available by Messanger, email, or phone throughout your stay.

This is a safe, quiet, waterfront neighborhood. There are two separate canal systems in Hernando Beach. The northern canals are saltwater and have direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. The southern canals, which include the middle section, are mostly freshwater and do not have direct access to the Gulf. Hernando Hideaway IS on a canal with direct Gulf access. That, in and of itself, makes this tranquil, off-the-beaten-path destination desirable to boaters and fishing enthusiasts. The clear turquoise waters surrounding Hernando Beach are dazzling! Clean rippled sand bars are plainly visible through clear waters around Hernando Beach. These flats are cherished scalloping sites during scalloping season and offer scuba adventuring any time of the year. Hernando Hideaway is just a few short miles from the Weeki Wachee Wildlife Management Area, an 11,206-acre nature preserve with walking and cycling trails, spots for launching kayaks and fishing. Weeki Wachee Springs State Park has mermaid shows about every 15 minutes. Crystal River, a popular spot for kayaking and manatee sightings, is 20 minutes away. Busch Gardens is 90 minutes away. Tampa Bay Bucs stadium & Tampa Bay Rays are both 90 minutes. Disney is 2 hours. Celebrated as Florida's Adventure Coast, the west coast offers freshwater rivers and springs, state forests, preserves, and Gulf waters, which provide opportunities for many land and water adventures for residents and tourists. There is no shortage of entertainment, scenic beauty, or activities in this area! Hernando Beach is also known for its mouthwatering fresh seafood restaurants. Check out The Cove, Hernando Beach Tropical Grille, Silver Dolphin, and Lei-Leo Tiki Hut on the Water. Numerous fishing charters are available if you prefer to catch your own fresh seafood.
