Absolutely amazing

The house itself was laid out beautifully, lots of space. The river access in the back of the house was amazing. The water was crystal clear. The kids were able to swim and snorkel right off the back deck. We also got to see a manatee swim by one morning.. I would absolutely recommend this property to anybody who is debating, just do it ! You won’t regret it. We made So many Amazing memories with family and friends. Thank you so much to the hosts who made everything so easy and enjoyable..

End of Summer Stay

We really enjoyed the property. House was clean and spacious. Loved the screened porch. No issues with bugs! The river access was easy, although, we would recommend bringing water shoes to float the river. Several stores are close by in case you need anything. We had 8 people stay comfortably for 3 nights. Highly recommend.

Sweet Serenity

Excellent location. Our family and friends had a really awesome visit! House was roomy and comfortable. Well stocked kitchen, but needs new pans and skillets. Also really wish the bedrooms had a t least queen beds, instead of full beds. Main bedroom was delightful. Lots of places to chill and relax here!!

Honestly, I can't see how this place has high ratings. To start, the dust was everywhere, Cobwebs inside and inbetween screens of windows that look like they've been there for a long time. I had to clean the pots, baking pans we used as well as the blender. Refrigerator was dirty with leftover condiments. Oven cleaner was not wiped clean. The decks could had atlease been swept from so much limbs and leaves. The doors around the handles look like they had not been clean in years. Bathroom faucet had a rim of slime. If they did a deep clean and update the 70's furniture, i would had rated it higher.
