Ana and Tony are amazing hosts and very friendly. They made sure we had everything needed for a comfortable stay. They went above and beyond our expectation! Their guest home is so cozy and charming, and located safely on a quiet gated property. The location is perfectly centered from the springs, beaches, and near by towns. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Enjoyed everything about this stay! Location was ideal for visiting natural areas such as Wekiwa and Blue Spring (manatees) and Black Bear State Park. House was beautiful. We ate breakfast on the deck in the morning, watching a variety of birds and the chickens. Enjoyed a sour orange from the tree. We appreciated Ana's hospitality and advice. We look forward to our next visit. Truly a tranquil retreat.

Words don't even describe how adorable, clean and comfortable this property was and how it was so welcoming, and decorated so wonderfully. My family and I made our first visit to Orlando theme parks but we wanted something quiet away from the craziness of the city. This little home was the PERFECT quiet getaway after long, hot days in the parks. The owners stocked it so thoughtfully with travelers in mind, and the cost of staying here was a fraction of the price of staying in a resort where you only get a room. We had the entire little home to ourselves. We felt safe and comfortable the entire time and the only noise we experienced was the chickens telling us to get up for another fun family day! Check in/check out was the easiest I've had at any VRBO so far and the owners were prompt to respond to any questions or concerns. Would stay here again if we come back!!

From the moment the elegant driveway gate opened to welcome us in, we felt right at home at this peaceful, wooded retreat. We found this home to be impeccably maintained, quaintly decorated, and equipped with many state of the art conveniences. Our hosts went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and comfortable throughout our entire stay. We especially enjoyed watching the wide variety of beautiful backyard birds that visited the peaceful outdoor patio area. This rental is centrally located to many popular Florida attractions & beaches. We were able to return to this peaceful retreat each evening & not have to deal with the crowds, traffic & noise of bigger cities. Thank you again to our amazing hosts. If baseball ever brings us back to this area again, we will definitely book our stay here!
