I spent two wonderful days with my granddaughter who is 12. We were so impressed with the house and the property. The owners made sure everything was perfect for us and we enjoyed all of the beautiful surroundings. I hope to go back with a friend in the near future.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you Laurie and Mark for such a wonderful experience! The house was very homie, warm, and clean. It made it for a very enjoyable stay. Loved the safety of the area. You have grocery stores close by, bars, trails, and a nice lake view from the deck. It's a great place to get away from your everyday life. 100% recommend this VRBO!!

great stay

The house is very comfortable. Laurie was helpful and quickly responded with any issues we had. The beds were comfortable and all the ameniites were of good quality. We used the kayaks and loved how close the house was to the bicycle trail/greenway. The back yard even made a good bocce court. I would stay there again, no problem.

We'll be back!

We were very happy with our rental! It was perfect for our needs. We did some fishing from the dock and explored the nearby towns. Inverness has a cute theater where we saw a community theater show one night. The living room furniture is quite comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. Laurie and Mark were kind enough to leave a card, balloon, and birthday glass as we were there to celebrate my husband's birthday. They sent suggestions of things to do and checked to make sure we got in okay. We will definitely be returning for a future trip.

Relaxing & Peaceful

We (family of 3), live just 2 hours south, but rarely get a chance to spend time hi here advice Tampa. This was the perfect stay for us, clean and fresh with everything we needed for cooking and otherwise. Our little dog enjoyed the fenced in yard, our adult daughter took one of the kayaks for a spin, we enjoyed watching a movie at night in one of the 3 smart TVs. Loved having dinner in the screened in patio while listening to a light rain, then seeing several hummingbirds visiting the humming bird feeder just outside the screen. The garden has lots of plants that attract both hummingbirds as well as butterflies, just lovely. We enjoyed some great food at the nearby Sleepy Hollow Fish Camp, as well as exploring the town of Floral City. Who knew Floral City used to be bigger and more happening than Miami back in the day? Cool little downtown area. This was such a perfect place for us while we went tubing on Rainbow River and kayaking on Weeki Wachee. Highly recommended!

We had the nicest weekend here. The home was beautiful and the owners are so thoughtful. From extra seating for the dock, to recommendations to local attractions, to fully stocked coffee selections, there isn't anything they didn't think of. The property is well kept and in a quiet neighborhood and perfect for a relaxing getaway by the lake. Thank you Laurie and Mark for a great weekend! We'd love to come back.

First Class

Despite the weather from Hurricane Milton, our stay was perfect! Mark and Laurie were wonderful! Checked on us before and after the storm. Made sure we had anything we needed from a generatir, flashlights, and even glow in the dark light switch covers. Once the storm passed we made our way down to the dock on the property and took in the beautiful surroundings. Thank you Nark and Laurie for being such amazing hosts!

**Amazing Escape with a Stunning View*

I recently stayed at this wonderful rental house and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the breathtaking view that the house offers. Nestled in a serene location, the panoramic vista of the surrounding landscape provided a perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. The house itself was impeccably clean, spacious, and well-appointed with all the amenities one could need. The decor was charming and tasteful, adding to the overall comfort and ambiance of the place. Each morning, I enjoyed my coffee on the deck, soaking in the tranquility and beauty that surrounded me. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or a base to explore the local area, this rental house is an ideal choice. It truly felt like a home away from home, offering both comfort and a sense of escape. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a rejuvenating break. ---

The perfect getaway

As soon as we walked in it felt like home. The ambiance was warm and inviting. And the special touches like the lighting inside and out helped ease any stress we were feeling. The charming house was immaculate and we didn’t want for anything. A big thank you to the Beggs. We’ll be back.
