Guests describe a peaceful retreat with an authentic Old Florida feel and praise host Heather's care
Welcome to The Marsh Hammock on Aripeka Key 🌿Nestled among the oak trees is our treehouse—a unique 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom stilt home. Light, airy, and wonderfully relaxed, this little retreat was made for slowing down. With both front and back porches, there's always a perfect spot to sit back. Watch for abundant birdlife, launch a kayak, try your hand at fishing, explore nearby nature trails, or keep an eye out for manatees and other wildlife that call this special stretch of Florida home.

My work: Sharing Good Vibes
Speaks English
I am a Florida native. I love the outdoors, fresh seafood, great drinks, and wild adventures. I look forward to sharing the journey with you. My homes are a part of my family's legacy on Florida's Gulf Coast. In the late 1880's my family moved to Aripeka for the climate; they stayed for the fishing, birds, dolphins, manatees, and more. In Aripeka, I invite you to have a true Florida adventure, try exciting new foods, or to simply sit on your porch and enjoy the view. Aripeka is a place to appreciate life. I welcome you to the true Nature Coast whenever you're able to join me.
