We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the River Shack. The home is exceptional, furnished beautifully, and well-stocked. The pool and hot tub could not be better and the speakers located throughout the yard with a playlist set up to use was an added enjoyment. Nardi was a great host and always available to answer any questions we had. The location of the home is perfect...close to everything you could want. We just can't say enough about how we loved this property! Thank you, Nardi, and we plan on coming back next year!Dennis & Nancy

Bad Mom’s Weekend Retreat

If you are looking for a getaway with your Mom crew 10/10 recommend. House and grounds are pristine, very clean, generous accommodations. Grocery store a mile away. Kitchen is stocked. Just bring bathing suit and sunglasses and enjoy a relaxing oasis. You can go explore or never leave until checkout. This place has it all. Owner is very responsive. We will most definitely be back. Found our ‘clubhouse’

The property was exactly as described and shown. Ease of check in and cleanliness was great. Space for 2 adults and teen. Location was close to beach, restaurants and shopping. Owner was fast to respond to messages and helped with any questions we had. We would recommend the house and hope to get back to stay when in the area. We had a great time and glad we chose the River Shack for our stay!

Resort style property in a great location

This is an unusual property nicely decorated with high quality furniture and fittings. The outside area is really great. Lots of seating, a really good barbecue, a nice pool and a great outdoor sound system perfect for chilling in the evening. Right on the Imperial river which is awesome for kayaking or paddle boarding. Property is not that large so works best for couples. We stay in this area a lot and really enjoyed this house as it has a real holiday feel. We would definintely rent it again.

Gorgeous

This house is beautiful, no doubt about that. Meticulously clean, with an awesome location and an outdoor setup that makes you never want to leave. We had a few problems arise but the owner was quick to respond. Just a heads up, there is one dishwasher pod, one detergent pod, and 2 garbage bags for the week. We’ve rented many homes in beach towns and found it a bit odd that there was no cooler, beach chairs, can coozies, etc. Also, this was the first host that didn’t leave a welcome basket or note of any kind. That being said, we had a wonderful time. The house really is spectacular..

Great house and location!

The house was wonderful! It was clean and looked just like the online images. We loved the pool and jacuzzi. My son enjoyed fishing off the dock. The location of the house was also great, close to everything we needed. The property manager was responsive when I reached out with a question. Very happy with our stay!!

Great property

The River Shack was just what my family was looking for! My step mother is handicap and I have a 7 yr old so we loved the layout of the property and how quiet and relaxing it was. Would definitely book this property again. Fishing is good as well if that helps anyone. Hooked a snook that had to be over 36” but got broke off
