Rooms were clean. Lots of space. Nice linens and comfortable mattresses. Cant beat the sunsets at this location.Returning for Scallop season. CAN'T WAIT!!
The property had all the comforts of home. Plenty of linens and the kitchen has everthing you need to cook a full meal. The extra refrig was a plus. The patio is a nice place to relax and watch the sun go down. We did use the grill, but had to use tin foil to cover top rack due to rust and breakage. We definitely will rent again!
Great family stay with awesome location & stunning views
Nice updates to this property! We’ve stayed several times here under previous owner and new owner.
Price increase was worthy due to upgrades in home and Wi-Fi! Also parking was easy for family members. Kitchen is great asset as well as location.
New Marina next door is convenient … maybe a little loud for some in the evenings.. come prepared. No complaints from us and we had small children, but you can hear the band and the crowd. Hope it remains available for future rentals at a reasonable price.
The location of this property was perfect. It was a short boat ride out to the gulf. The windows, covered patio, and deck allowed us to constantly enjoy the water views and sunsets. The pictures do not do the property justice. The indoor and outdoor living spaces are large and all 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are spacious. We comfortably slept 8 adults and 6 kids/teens. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment. There is a large fridge in the kitchen and an extra fridge in the laundry room.
There is a new marina and restaurant/bar next to the house. Live music or karaoke is usually playing at night but it didn’t bother us. It was entertaining.
We would definitely recommend this rental for a large group of friends and family.

Great Property Eagle Eye Owner
The house was nice, the location is great. The owner must have called me 5 times as he was watching me from the multitude of cameras. First it was we couldn't park the trailer in the grass, which I understand, and we moved it. Then it was we couldn't park our boat on "his portion" of the dock, he wanted me to put my boat on the floater that it wouldnt fit on. Even though there were no other boats there during our stay. Then the phone call for having our wet towels hanging on the dock to dry, he didn't want out "laundry" hanging out to dry. Then when i took a lawn chair from the porch and walked down to fish by the water 100 feet away, he called and said not to remove the patio furniture after I brought it back up. It's creepy having your every move watched while trying to relax with family and friends on vacation, especially when we took such great care of everything. There are other houses on that same road I've rented multiple times, won't be coming back to this one.
We had an Awesome week!Fabulous place to stay, This was our 2nd time staying at the Flamingo and planning to stay again next season. The View is excellent with a great location. The owner is very friendly and helpful. As my 16 your old nephew would say Loved it 100%!!
Property was well maintained. We were very pleased with the cleanlinesss and furnishings. Great location, no hassles. We plan to stay here again in the future.
2nd time at this property. Will definitely return.
Excellent!

Great time
Fantastic location we were well pleased with this property a little dated but very comfortable place to stay boat docks were a blessing everything worked perfect we will be back thank you so much for sharing your property
We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Flamingo Villa. The location was beyond perfect, on the water and very close to the channel out to the gulf. The house was bigger and nicer than even expected - I don't think the photos do it justice. Very very clean. We would definitely stay here again.
Fishing in Steinhatchee
Great location. Excellent rental for fisherman. Beautiful view of the gulf, great sunsets. Kept our boat tied up to the floating dock.
This property is in an unbelievable location for scallop season. The view is the star of the house and the porches perfect for gathering in the evening. Comfortable furniture and huge kitchen for cooking with your family and friends.
The property is amazing. The kitchen is fully equiped minus the can opener that didnt work ( suggestion is to bring ur own). The bathrooms had plenty of linen. The deck outside was a plus. Only downfall, there was no Wifi. We was able to get our boat in and out easily. I will rent again.
This is are second stay here and hopefully not the last! We rented a boat from Sea Hag for 2.5 days and tied up at the wonderful dock here. The Gulf of Mexico was right here so easy trip to go fishing daily. Beautiful views from the house and decks. Such a wonderful get away. Very clean inside and updated even more since We were here last 2 years ago. Michelle is so helpful and responds immediately to any questions. Love it here! Thanks Michelle !

perfect location with boat dock
Very spacious and clean house. Big driveway & ample garage space for parking. Love the huge kitchen, living room/common area. Great deck to watch the scalloping/fishing boats coming and going, the beautiful sunset and night sky filled with stars
The pots/pans and cooking wares are in less desired condition. Had I known about that, I'd have brought my own pots and pans. That said It's still a lovely place and we will stay again when we visit Steinhatchee in the future. Thank you.
The house was a nice size. The master bedroom really needs to have a king size bed in it. The water pressure is lacking. The garbage in the parking area wasn’t taken out and was super stinky. We arrived 30 minutes after check in time and the housekeeper was still there, and left a load of linens in the clothes dryer. Other than that, we had an excellent stay. Nice house, convenient location, excellent parking.

Perfect location! Gorgeous view of the Gulf and sunsets!
Flamingo Villa was a perfect spot for our short stay in Steinhatchee during scallop season. It's located near the mouth of the river and the public boat ramp, which was convenient! And it's very nice to keep your boat right outside your back door. The layout is roomy and allows space for everyone. It's tastefully decorated with a coastal theme. I like to cook a lot and found that the kitchen is well stocked, but could use a griddle or skillet for pancakes. There's an awesome heavy cast iron pot we used to fry up fish and conch. The porch/deck area was wonderful. Plenty of places to store your gear. My two young adult daughters would have liked wifi access, but I was ready to disconnect so it wasn't an issue for me. We also went scalloping the day we left and the owner was kind to let us vacate the property inside and leave our stuff in the roomy garage below. We were able to come back to the house and wash off outside and get another day of scalloping in before heading home. We are looking forward to coming back!!

Somewhat disappointed this year
Let me start by saying that we have stayed here in the past and have been absolutely satisfied. In fact, so much so that we continue to return.
However, this year there’s a marina going up right beside the property. There was heavy construction and loud noises for the entirety of our stay. The beautiful ocean view
that is advertised on the Internet was obstructed by construction and crane on a dock being built right outside the property. The construction prevented any fishing that was enjoyed in the past.
Additionally, The owners showed up with a surveyor in the backyard without a call or any warning. We were sitting in a restaurant when we looked over and saw people in the backyard. Startled, we had to hurry over to find out who was on the property with all of our belongings and without our knowledge.
I would like to add that we got there a little earlier than expected and the maid was still cleaning. She was very understanding of our long trip and could not have been more hospitable.
Would we have stayed here if we had known all of this construction was going? Who knows, however, it should have been disclosed.
The location, at the mouth of the river is great The floating dock is great with a hose readily accessible. The house was clean. The house is very spacious and the huge kitchen has plenty of plates, cups, pots pans, etc. It has all the necessary appliances. The beds are comfortable, There is plenty of seating but we found it not very comfortable. There is a wagon/cart to help you carry your stuff up the ramp . The A/C works great. There was no high chair or crib/play yard for the baby. The washer/dryer work but are outrageously noisy and the louvered doors to close them in are broken. The fridge is small. The dishwasher is very old and the bottom rack is broken. The shower on/off valve in the master shower does not work right. There was plenty of hot water but it was difficult to adjust. You could never tell what it was going to be by where it was positioned. We put up with those inconveniences when it was a reasonable price. We found it a perfect place to gather our family and friends to go scalloping. However, the Flamingo has been sold and the new owners have doubled the price. ( Our price was already locked in from the previous owner). There is no way we would spend $700 for this house, especially with the restrictions they have put on it. Only 3 cars allowed and max of 8 people even though It is a huge place with plenty of room for parking. I"m not sure how that correlates with their description of "a great place for the entire family to meet..." Every correspondence we had with the new owner had in bold print that they strictly enforce the rules and have a caretaker ready to report violations. Also a large new marina is being built a stones throw away. There are many boat slips which will block the nice view and only time will tell how that boat traffic affects the house and dock. There are many other rentals near the mouth of the river and we will be choosing a different one in the future.
