"Slow Tides" - Entire Cottage on the Suwannee River
Welcome to paradise. A modern style and freshly renovated Waterfront House in Fanning Springs, Florida. This cozy getaway is located on a private canal seconds off The Suwannee River. Bring your boat and cruise to the nearby springs or venture to the Gulf for the big catch. The balcony of the home sits just feet off the water. With its own private concrete boat ramp, dock, pedal boat and kayaks. Enjoy your evenings around the firepit with friends. Everything you need for a fun, relaxing or romantic waterfront getaway.
The location is excellent with the river right out the door and springs within walking distance. The home was comfortable with thoughtful amenities provided. I would definitely book again.
Everything about this place was wonderful! From the communication with the host, if you like outdoors kayaking in nature it's the place for you! The property itself inside was immaculately clean furnished very nicely and had everything that you could possibly need to accommodate your stay on the Suwannee River. Laura The Host was absolutely wonderful, she let us get in a day early and offered us suggestions on where to eat and where to go. If you ever stay in the area it's the perfect place for a small family. We will be staying there on all of our trips into town.!!
Great place for younger people. Stairs not so great for people in there 70's making several trips up and down with luggage, Groceries, ect. is hard on the old folks. Other than that no problem at all. Love the place.
Lots of fun! Brought the boat, zipped up and down the Suwannee, saw manatees, relaxed at Fanning Springs, caught lots of bream in the main river, dinner at Royâs in Steinhatchee, dessert at Legends, and tubed down the Ichetucknee on the way out. Great stay!
We had a wonderful, relaxing time. went kayaking, visited the springs and had dinner at the Suwannee Bell Landing Restaurant, which is in walkin distance.
Peaceful, restful. The host was a great communicator. A hurricane hit the area and she was excellent at keeping me updated about restoration efforts in the area.
We had a wonderful time making great memories! The house was perfect with all of the right amenities. From the river, kayaks, paddle boat, swing, fire pit, grill, location etc. and the inside was like home away from home.
The home and property were amazing. My husband, mother and myself traveled from Arizona to visit kids and grandchildren. This place gave us an amazing place to gather and kept everyone entertained. Kayaking, fishing, bonfire, yard games. Loved loved loved it. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Upon driving up, I just saw a peaceful. We were there for the wedding of my granddaughter, and a reunion of my brothers and sisters, nieces, nephews and family. It was a beautiful time we were busy getting ready for the wedding and coming back to this beautiful place was heaven sent our little time together will be remembered forever.
My family rented other houses but this house was definitely the hang out spot with the boat ramp across the street and the large dock we were able to dock 3 boats and there was a giant tree swing for the kids and a nice fire pit for sâmores and hanging out at night. The house was newly updated and gorgeous! There was plenty of room in the house for family to come in and make a plate of food! I really loved the rocking chairs and deck to watch the sun rise over the water. We will definitely be back!!
Our goal is warm winter weather which Florida offers. That goal was accomplished with our 1st visit to Old Town. Area great for: fishermen, boaters ( across street from Joe Anderson Park hosting angling tournaments). Nature Coast Trail for bicycling and walking. Plenty of motorcycles and restaurants. RV park across canal. There were early issues with property conditions which the host responded to but shouldnât have been necessary.
As many of the other reviews have stated, this is a nice place on the river. It is comfortable and decorated nicely with direct access to the river and a balcony to sit on. The kitchen is fully stocked if you wish to cook. While the listing says this waterfront house is "freshly renovated", to me it appears that two of the most important rooms in the house, the ensuite bathroom and the guest bathroom were not. When we arrived, I saw that the bathtub in the guest bathroom and the shower pan in the ensuite bathroom were both, what I thought, very dirty. I let the host know this, she apologized and sent her housecleaner over within a few hours to give it a refresh in her words. The housecleaner worked for over 1-1/2 hours on the tub and shower pan trying to clean them; however, in the end, the shower pan looked a little tiny bit better but the bathtub did not look any better and was still brown and looked dirty from front to back. In my opinion, the bathtub could probably use a reglazing or needs to be replaced and the shower pan, too. I can't recommend this place to anyone who is skeeved out by a dirty or dirty looking bathtub/shower. The rest of the house was immaculate.
