The house was equipped with everything you need for a stay. The beds are comfortable. We stayed a week so it was nice to have a washer and dryer on site. Location was ideal for what we was doing in the area.

It was a nice little house and had what we needed. The kitchen was stocked with the basics, everything was clean and nice. The house feels very private. There are 2 RVs on the property as well, but we did not see or hear anything from them. The balcony was perfect for evening cocktails and morning coffee! Checking in was simple.

Great place to stay!!

Drove in to see some Florida springs for the weekend and was so happy to stay here. Very relaxing and quiet. Surrounded by beautiful trees and not too far from the parks and springs. Also has a great porch to sit and chill.

The house itself and location was perfect! We enjoyed the stay overall, however the early morning construction at the lot next door and the concrete company next to the property was rather loud every morning at 4 am…made it a bit difficult to get a good nights sleep. Other than that everything was great!

So bad we didn’t end up staying. Dirty, not well kept outside, dilapidated boards on the balcony coming up, the fire pit is rusted with a hole in it and falling apart. There were wasp nest everywhere and two campers on the property as well that were right up against the house.

The space was adequate for us however, there were no dressers or shelves for clothes. The description was different from the actual place. Overall, we had a nice time and had what we needed.

It was a hidden gem!

The house was equipped with more than we could have needed for our stay. The beds were very comfortable and the sheets super soft! I was even surprised to see shampoo and conditioner in the shower. The house is off the beaten path but also not far from everything we needed like groceries and pharmacy. You will hear sounds from the surrounding businesses but that did not bother us at all.

Lovely retreat, pack earplugs

Lovely older home in a nice quiet area. Unfortunately there is a concrete type of company that is very close. Each morning with the exception of Sunday we were awakened to low persistent beeping and trucks moving. It was still dark out but I think it was around 5Am. Even though we were a bit sleep deprived we enjoyed our stay. Sitting on the porch in a rainstorm was lovely. Watching the kitties play in the empty field next to the home was fun. While this might be everyones thing..My daughter loved watching the big banana spider? outside her window. It's a really beautiful spider :) Especially since it was outside ;) We also saw some bugs while walking around that we'd never seen before. This is the perfect place to enjoy nature!
I wish I could add the sounds to this picture!
Ellie liked watching the kitties too :P

I have been making accomodations through AB&B for 9 years and never had any accomodations like this. Tried VRBO and what a mistake. This place was not good. The house itself is in a very unattractive area with lots of trash, terrible roads. The yard at this residence and the residence itself is lacking maintenance…too many items too list.Their directions/emails directed us to call them with any issues..and we did have an issue as one of our grandsons locked the entrance door locket lock rather than locking via the coded pad. We had no way of entering when we returned. We called the number provided, more than once, and got a female who spoke ONLY spanish (I do not speak spanish). Fortunately my wife was able to converse enough to get a number of the “property manager”(?). I called this number 8 times from 7pm on. (He finally returned the call 2 hours later…regarding the RV out back and laughed about our situation). Having a background in Construction I was able to make a way in the residence despite all doors being locked. Good luck calling them for any issues .No one ever contacted us to see if we were able to resolve the issue. This residence is much less than satisfactory! We would never entertain staying here again nor would we recommend.Lesson - be wary of the marketing/pictures on VRBO. Do your due diligence prior to making the reservation.

Great stay. My daughter and I were in the area for a sports competition at the World Equestrian Center. The location was convenient, yet also secluded. The house was a perfect spot for the two of us to enjoy a little nature while in the area.
