I've paddled the Emerald Cut a few times now. Initially I didn't like the idea of paying to launch…read moremy own paddleboard. However, it's only $10 now that I have my own life jacket (saving me additional cost of $5 to use one of theirs, as required). Well worth the low cost for some soul-enriching, communing with nature. I have never made a reservation. I normally arrive around 10:30, most recently on a Friday. Parked for free on Baptist Camp Rd. Just a bit of a walk from there with my inflated paddleboard, but I don't mind the extra exercise. You can unload your stuff closer, if preferable. There are port-a-potties available. You can count on there being a line in the check-in office. Various recreation supplies are available there for purchase. The process moves reasonably enough. A reservation will guarantee your entrance, however, and possibly aide quicker personal info collection. I always plan to do the Emerald Cut in roughly 3 hours round-trip, allowing myself several stops to enjoy the surroundings. You do run into (quite literally at times) novice paddlers along the way, which can be a bit tricky, yet not a real nuisance for me. In general, there's friendliness along the waterway. Slighty rowdy, party vibes in some spots, but also opportunities for solace and zen in various nooks. Encountering wildlife, fragrant elderberry, and other captivating flora along this stretch is always gratifying. It's a popular recreation destination for good reason.

We found a large number of cockroaches in rental. We packed up and left immediately after we…read morestarted seeing them crawling around, and it was during daylight hours. Unfortunately, we had wanted to leave upon arrival after initially inspecting the rental. The listing and reality were completely different. There was stained furniture and bedding, we ended up finding mold around some windows. A broken closet door, inoperable sliding pocket door, unusable top bunks of bunk beds. The entrance doors had large gaps between the frames and doors. The paint job inside was cheap, sloppy, lazy. Kitchen cabinets had a large amount of chipped paint and rusted hinges. I have a large number of photos as proof. I reported this cleanliness and maintenence issues after our arrival inspection. The host basically called me a liar and said he wanted to see proof even though I sent him pictures and he claimed to have just done an inspection shortly before our arrival. If we weren't more than 17 hours from home with no other place to stay we would have left right after we inspected it. The host even mockingly said he would give me a discount for a return visit if I ever wanted to come back after trying to work things out with him. I am sad and disgusted and feel robbed of my hard earned vacation time and money. The house wasn't even as close to the beach as was claimed. I truly would love to be able to give 0 stars, but that is not allowed so they get 1 star. If I have to fish for something to account fir the one star I guess I could say...hmm...it had a nice microwave? ​Oh I almost forgot to mention the bathroom. It was far smaller than described. I am not tall and the shower head at max height touched my head. I could also not sit facing forward on the toilet due to how close it is to the shower.

She is incredibly knowledgeable about the local ecosystem and all the plants, birds, fish, mammals, and everything that lives within it. She truly is a master naturalist, and her enthusiasm made the experience even more engaging. The boat launch was easy to find, and the kayaks were in excellent condition--clearly well maintained. They've really thought of everything to make the experience smooth and enjoyable. It was also an easy drive from the Mt. Dora area, and we're already looking forward to going back again!

They got us on the water in a beautiful spot, with instructions on seeing incredible wildlife within minutes. We paddled for hours, eventually floating into a dolphin pod that played around our boat. We saw millions of birds in the mangroves, and enjoyed the serenity of the river adjacent to their shop. Apparently they will deliver, too, so there are many options. I can't say enough great things about the quality of the boats, the natural setting, and the people who work there. Anna from Connecticut
