Quiet country setting. Enjoyed coffee on the deck with beautiful mornings! Evenings with a breeze. Our 2 dogs loved the freedom to roam around. Close enough to explore surrounding areas and attractions. The hosts were a wonderful couple and our needs were fully met!

Very accommodating older park model. Clean. Bedrooms were comfortable. Everything worked as we needed. Hosts were very helpful. The driveway could use some updating with better gravel, but I had to find something to mention!

The property suited our needs for our time in FL. The only drawback was there was no mention about pets not being allowed on furniture in the policies, even with a blanket/cover on it. Our pets are our kids, and we enjoy having them sit with us on the couch to watch a movie. We sat on the floor because they did not understand why they couldn't be on the couch. If you have pets that are used to sitting on the couch, this might not be the place for you, if they are not allowed on the couch at your house, then this place would be fine. One upside, the bed in the main bedroom, is extremely comfortable, slept better than I do at home. Owners were friendly and quick to respond to questions.
