Clean, Fantastic Stay!!

Just like the photos. VERY clean, beds were comfy. I loved sitting on the back porch watching football with the family. 7 of us stayed, 4 adults and 3 teen boys, having 2 kings and 3 twins was perfect. Rooms were big, could not have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you!

Wonderful during “Milton”

We booked before any hurricanes and stayed during Milton and power outage occurred for maybe six hours while sleeping. The stay was very pleasant and wonderful for my family. We enjoyed pool time swimming to pool time in the game room. Wonderful and nice flow through home setup. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect In Every Way

This property was exactly as described and as seen in the photos. The host couldn't have thought of anything else to make our stay more enjoyable. Our dog absolutely loved the huge fenced in backyard. Although, it was just me, my husband and our dog, this house is perfect for a large family. We will be back when in the area.

Great location and great property

My daughter was getting married that weekend and we needed a bigger place for the siblings to stay during the wedding festivities. We could not have asked for a nice place. The home was very clean and appropriately appointed. The host was outstanding in providing all the information everyone needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Do not hesitate to stay at this property.

We traveled with toddlers and they had the best time swimming in the pool, running in the backyard, and playing in the game room. The house was set up perfectly for a family getaway. We have listed the house as on of our favorites and we hope to be back in the future. We highly recommend Henry’s Hideaway!

this was a wonderful place to stay, and I would definitely stay again. Henry’s Hideaway was clean had plenty, had plenty of room, and things to do. Our host was very responsive. We were in town for a funeral, unfortunately. There was a lot of running around to prepare for it and then of course the funeral itself, so unfortunately we didn’t get to stay at the home to enjoy it a lot. We will probably be coming back to work with settling the state, and visiting family., If so, I would definitely try to book it again.
