About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Relax by the pool at this retreat near parks, kayaking, and downtown.

Spacious Suite attached to the main house with separate entrance and private bath. Enjoy your in room kitchenette with sink, refrigerator and microwave for your convenience. Make your morning coffee or tea and relax on the connected patio area by the pool. Your room boasts a view of the garden, large yard and pool. You may catch a glimpse of the owner's pet Silkie Chickens. You will love this quiet spot to unwind.

This suburban oasis sits on an acre of land on a quiet street. Sitting on the large patio you feel like you have a resort all to yourself. Feel free to help yourself to lemons from the tree (if in season) or herbs from the garden.

Use the full outdoor kitchen to barbecue or in the winter warm yourself next to the outdoor fireplace. Large outdoor living and dining spaces available for use.

Hot tub, swing and lounging area on the patio.

Close to restaurants, coffee, bars, theater, Wekiva River State park, Golf courses, breweries. We are about 30 minutes from Disney attractions.

Dog friendly. We accommodate small dogs under 30 lbs. We do have a minimal pet fee of $20. We love to provide you the opportunity to travel with your furry companion.
All dogs must be kept on a leash when outside in the yard or patio. We do have chickens (which I can keep in their coop as needed.) Most dogs like to chase chickens. :)
We cannot accommodate dogs sleeping on the bed. Please be prepared to make other sleeping arrangements for you pet during your stay.

Great location to springs

If you’re planning on visiting a few of Florida Springs, this is a perfect location. Close to Kelly and Wekiva Springs, this is perfect for 2 people. Jocelyn was a nice host and the property had a private entrance and close parking in a quiet neighborhood. Nice amenities of a fridge, coffee maker and microwave made for an easy visit.

Perfect Couple Getaway

My boyfriend and I stayed for 5 nights coming from Michigan. Jocelyn was very communicative and understanding about our last minute travels. Place was very clean. Cooking and eating dinner outside was incredible. We only met Jocelyn once and then she gave us our space for our stay, it was very lovely. I’d highly recommend staying with her

Great value and location

Property was clean, quiet, and private. Host provided almost any item a traveler might have forgotten (toiletries, coffee pods, pool towels, etc.) The room has a mini fridge, but guests are provided access to the full sized refrigerator/freezer with ice maker located in the outdoor kitchen area. It was nice to be able to keep our restaurant "leftovers" in the outdoor fridge, and not have the food odors in our room!

Relaxing and close to things!

We loved our stay at Jocelyn’s place! Check in was seamless, the backyard was very relaxing and the pool was the perfect temperature! We stayed here to be close to Wekiva, and it really is just about 5-10 minutes away. The only (tiny) complaint we had was that Netflix wouldn’t work on the tv and there wasn’t any live tv options. It really wasn’t an issue for us, but worth mentioning. We highly recommend this cozy spot!

Perfect in every way!

We normally Vrbo an entire house but since it was just my wife and I without our kids we decided to try utilizing a guest suite instead and wow! We were absolutely delighted with this experience! We were nervous about not having any privacy or feeling uncomfortable but not here! The property is situated on one acre beautifully landscaped and the guest suite is located with direct access to the very large pool, hot tub and huge outdoor covered gazebo with outdoor cooking if needed. We spent both nights enjoying the pool and just relaxing outside on the comfortable patio furniture. The guest suite is perfect sized for two and is so comfortable and relaxing we didn’t want to leave! It has everything you need and more! Jocelyn has gone above and beyond with little things in the room to make you feel right at home. We only spoke with the owner one time as we needed a place to store our paddle boards and he was very polite and helpful. The neighborhood all around is upscale and you will feel safe and comfortable. We highly recommend this place and can’t wait to go back!

Amazing

So I visited last year for a conference. It was my first experience with a VRBO. Jocelyn, her home are amazing. I was so impressed that I booked it again this year. I made a mistake with my dates and she was very proactive to help me. I would stay her again and again!!! absolutely beautiful, very private and very comfy!!!

Wekiva Springs Retreat

My wife and I stayed here due to my daughter getting married. This was convenient to Orlando airport and where she lives in Winter Springs. Jocelyn (the host) did a great job of communicating with us before our stay, and also assisted us with our return flight check in and printed our boarding passes. Although we didn't spend a lot of time there, we loved the home, safe, quiet neighborhood and the cleanliness and conveniences Wekiva Springs retreat has to offer. We had a clean, comfy room to come home to in the evenings, and were able to drink hot chocolate and watch Netflix before going to bed. I could go on but I have to say Wekiva Springs was a great place to stay and if/when we come back to the area, we will definitely stay here!

Loved this place!

I’m so bad about leaving reviews, but wanted to make sure to write one this time. This place was perfect for my visit to the area. Jocelyn was a friendly and gracious host who was quick to respond to any requests or inquiries for little things I needed. She recommended a place to kayak nearby and I had such a fun adventure. The room itself is clean and well appointed, but the biggest selling point for me was the outdoor space. It was great to feel so at home and have so much space to just exist. I took advantage of the nice weather and had my meals in the outdoor dining space. I was able to cook some, light a fire on a cold night, and have a friend over for game night- all outdoors. I’m definitely looking forward to staying here again when I revisit the area. Thanks Jocelyn!

We loved staying here. It was such a a cute little set up, and felt very homey and private. The hosts were very friendly; Jocelyn made sure to introduce herself the first time we were around during the day. She was very accommodating with us arriving late at night and allowed us to check out late on departure day. Will definitely consider staying here again!
