So very near the water

I needed a place to stay that was near to the rowing camp I was attending and this place fit the bill perfectly. I also had 2 bedrooms with their own baths which was great for me and my friend. The owner was very pleasant to deal with and the property is very private.

Incredibly Peaceful

The property is a special Florida natural preserve! If the old barns could talk, I believe there are all sorts of stories to be told! Sunrise was spectacular. Thanks to the owners for their care of the land, and being generous enough to let people stay and enjoy it!

Quiet and Peaceful

Stayed here during a rowing camp so didn't spend a lot of time at the house. Everything was as advertised and the hosts were very responsive and accommodating. The house was well stocked with everything we needed for the weekend. The best part was the beautiful setting along Lake Beresford. I wish I had booked an extra day so I could have sat on the porch and enjoyed the beautiful sunrise and peaceful setting.

Secluded quiet farm setting

It was just like the description. House was large & comfortable for the 7 of us. Plenty of room for relaxing inside or outside on the porches. Our only issue was the weather/rain which caused getting in/out the driveway with motorcycles a bit challenging. All in all a great week was had by all.

Thank you so much for your great review. We really appreciate it as once in awhile we get a picky guest who seems the only thing they have to do is try to find things to complain about. But the majority of our guests really appreciate the privacy and large property to enjoy.

Family vacation

We found our stay to be very quite and relaxing. The view of the lake from the porch was always nice to sit and socialize and watch boats going by . The pool water was very nice and cool which makes for a very relaxing day . There was plenty of sleeping room for our group of 8 . Easy to get to Town and only about 25-30 minutes drive to the Beaches (Daytona or New Symrna) . Over all stay was a very nice . Review of the place is exactly what it’s says . Thank you Roy & Cindy for our stay . Sincerely Shellie and Alvin Roberts and Family !

BEWARE: DIRTY &SOMEWHAT DANGEROUS PROPERTY. OWNER NEVER REPAIRS OR UPDATES ANYTHING

This Owner is telling you everything you need to know about what kind of Host he is in the Listing so LISTEN TO HIM. I rationalized everything he and the reviews said and I am sorry I did! Owner is nice but very PARANOID. He will call you multiple times to list EVERYTHING YOU CANNOT DO AT HIS HOME BEFORE YOU EVER ARRIVE. Thinks everyone coming is out to cheat him and to party. You will either not be able to use the amenities because they don't work or because he wont allow it used . WHAT YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DO WONT WORK POOL/HOT TUB/AC VIRTUALLY ANYTHING YOU NEED IS NOT WORKING WELL OR AT ALL. You cannot enjoy the 80 acres that he boasts in his listing because he does not want you walking or driving in unsanctioned areas. There is also an Alligator on property and you cant go near the pond that is only a few yards from the house. Nervous for me. UNRELIABLE AC * NO DRYER IN HOUSE & WASHER BARELY WORKS. He keeps *BRAND NEW washer and dryer in his AIRPLANE HANGER along with BRAND NEW OUTDOOR FURNITURE stacked up with the tags still on them while his "Guests" have to use furniture that is 40 years old and in such nasty disrepair you have to consider your clothing before you sit down. *POOL IS NOT MAINTAINED AT ALL. NOT USABLE. HE WILL TELL YOU IT IS BUT IT IS NOT!! ITS HEATED IT BUT HE WONT TELL YOU OR MAKE IT USABLE. HE DOES NOT WANT TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS OR ELECTRICITY. *HOUSE FILTHY ALL ROOMS *FURNITURE FULL OF DOG HAIR AND FOOD. *KITCHEN DIRTY AND FRIDGE DISGUSTING *BEDS DIRTY FULL OF DOG/HUMAN HAIR *BATHS FILTHY AND DOES NOT WORK-Sinks disgusting. Pubic Hair in Showers. *WRITE YOUR NAME ON THE DIRTY HARDWOOD FLOORS! HE DOES NOT CHARGE A CLEANING FEE! I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO PAY A CLEANING FEE AND GET A CLEANED HOUSE!! BONUS! DEAD ROTTING DOG! next to the perfectly usable concrete boat ramp with the sign that reads: DO NOT USE BOAT RAMP DO NOT EVEN STEP ON. The dogs bones were exposed it had been there for days and he knew it just did not care. To sum it up this HOST does not value the GUESTS. I say this because he does nothing to make the home ready. NO CLEANING, NO MAINTENANCE ON ANYTHING. GARBAGE FURNITURE ON PORCHES LITERALLY FALLING APART. Decks rotting and dangerous weak spots that you could fall through. Believe me I could go on and list more so If you rent this home knowing all of this then your asking and paying for what you get. I told all and more to owner. His response: "Dont leave a review then" ha ha.

This guest was the worst guest we have had in years. They left our house a mess and never called to complain about anything. I never called her to tell her what she could not do. Do not ever rent o this guest unless you want your house to be left in a dirty condition. If you look at our reviews you will see we get 95 % 5 star reviews. We do not rent to guests who have pets so there was no animal hair in the house and it was very clean until after her group left. Our cleaning lady called complaining about how dirty they left it. What a nightmare guest. She as you can see by our other reviews complained about everything thst our other guests complement us about. We put a sign on our boat ramp not to be used as it is hasardous by the lake algae growing on it. We do it to protect our guests. We also have a rule about eating in the bedrooms. This guest left food on the beds, and under them. We don’t charge a cleaning fee to save guests money and ask them to do basic cleaning, s. This guest cleaned nothing leaving a total disgusting mess. If you don’t want a filthy house after a guest leaves who complained about everything she can think of do not rent to them. You will be sorry. Our superguest host status and almost all 5 star reviews speaks for itself

Roy's property is absolutely beautiful! The house was not perfectly updated and groomed, but Roy was perfectly up front about that, and it was just as he described it. The surroundings exceeded our expectations. The pool was great, the wildlife varied and beautiful, and the sense of space and privacy wonderful! Roy was helpful, generous, and readily available to address any questions - he was a great host. I plan to return sometime! Thanks for a great week for my family.
