Maribel was a wonderful and super attentive host. She left a sweet welcome package for my stay. The house was clean and well appointed. The neighborhood was adorable and quiet. It is a small place but good use of space for 2 bedrooms and 2 bath. It was a little cozy for 3 adults but perfect for a couple or a family!

My stay there for a few days was great. Family enjoyed it as well. Nice quiet neighborhood. Didn’t have a chance to hang out outside. The front steps are uneven but maybe that’s not a problem in Florida. The water pressure in showers wasn’t that great, but functional.

This home was absolutely perfect! Super cute and wonderfully decorated — it instantly felt like home. Everything was spotless, and the fenced-in property gave us both privacy and peace of mind. The location is right in the heart of Umatilla, which made it easy to get around and enjoy the area. Communication with the host was a 10/10 — quick, friendly, and so accommodating. I can’t recommend this place enough and would definitely stay here again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage was beautiful, spotlessly clean, and full of charm. It was the perfect size for two people—cozy yet spacious enough to feel completely comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, and the towels and linens were soft and high quality. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Maribel was a gracious and thoughtful host, even leaving us a bottle of wine and a lovely note to welcome us. Highly recommended!

Maribel was very sweet. She responded quickly to questions before and during our stay. We received a list of area restaurants and activities in the area which was helpful. The cottage was cozy and inviting. We were so happy our beagle pups could stay with us. Our 25 pound dogs could squeeze through the fence but it would be a perfect fenced in yard for larger dogs. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and just a few minute walk to a park. I had to work from the cottage and the internet was fast and reliable. We would definitely stay here again.

Maribel was an amazing host. She answered any of my concerns speedily. The cottage is very cozy and homey. We truly enjoyed our time there. If we plan to take another trip to Florida, we would not hesitate to book it with her. It was worth every moment there. Wished we could have stayed longer.Five stars are not enough for her service. All the stars in the sky are not enough for her!

About me:
Restoring this quaint little Cottage and transforming it into a vacation retreat has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Knowing that these spaces bring joy and offer meaningful experiences to our guests fills my heart.

As a devoted business development specialist, I’m passionate about helping individuals and businesses grow and thrive, always guided by my four fundamental points for a fulfilling life. This little space is a reflection of this passion an invitation to create memories and embrace the beauty of life : )

What makes this property unique

... more than just a place to stay, it’s a living piece of history with modern comfort! Instead of letting it fade away, we decided to restore it little by little, with all the love and care it deserves. In a world where so much is disposable, we wanted to rescue and honor a little magical place, filled with memories, hard work, and heart. Every corner of this small retreat tells a story, and we’re so happy to share that with you.
