Summary: This was the perfect place for a group of old friends to meet up. Very clean with a well equipped kitchen (and sunscreen!) and lots of places to tell stories. The pool had the perfect amount of shade for us northeners. Beds were comfortable and clean. Saw some big gators in the canal, so we passed on kayaking. Would visit again.

Summary: The home was in the back of a neighborhood, very quiet and relaxing. The house had the traditional 3 bedroom 2 bath setup. Nice pool area and the back yard was nice and big with a fire pit over looking a canal. Very nice boat dock with a hightop table for 2. The only issue we had was dealing with the hot water in the bathrooms. Strange enough you had to keep turning it off then back on to get your shower completed. Yet, the outside shower, we had no issues at all. I would stay at this house again, it was relaxing for sure!

Summary: House was well stocked above and beyond my expectations. I dont think it didnt have anything i needed. Kids had a great time in the pool, played chess and checkers quite a bit. We kayaked down the canal which was absolutely beautiful. The neighborhood was quiet and nice to take walks or ride bikes around. liz was always available to answer any questions. Would definitely stay again

Summary: My husband and I stayed the entire month of March in this lovely home. You will find this home inviting and stocked with everything needed. The beds are super comfortable, which is incredibly important. The hosts are accessible, if needed...but you won't find you need them much, if at all, as they've thought of and provided everything! The pool area is great just for relaxing if it's a bit too early in the year to enjoy the water. This place is the perfect get-away home!

Summary: This place is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood! Our kids throughly enjoyed the pool and our dogs loved having zoomies in the expansive yard!! The only drawback was the time to get everywhere. I didn't realize how big the lakes were and that it would take about 20 mins to get around them. If you don’t mind a little drive, this place is perfect! Liz was also very responsive and easy with. 😊

Summary: So many nice things about this home! The location was perfect for us since we had family in the area. We walked our canine family member every morning when it was cool and had daily runs and the neighborhood was perfect for both. Our 3 teenagers loved fishing off the dock and plenty of wildlife to see! The inside of the house was extremely clean and spacious. A tropical depression had formed and the homeowner reached out to see if all was well and if there was anything we needed. We will be back!
