Home owner’s attention to home detail with numerous amenities was well thought out. Homeowner is an excellent communicator and very thorough. Neighbors (Jack & Erlene) were very friendly, inviting, and helpful.
House was immaculate and overly stocked with items you might need. Kitchen was also well stocked for cooking in. Host was extremely responsive. The house was better than any hotel could be. I couldn't begin to recommend this home enough.
My wife & I enjoyed our stay very much! We brought our boat and were able to enjoy the river for sunrise/sunset cruises, along with all the fishing we could handle. The place is updated & very clean. Heidi was especially easy to deal with & accommodating. She went the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed for our stay. Highly recommended.
Stayed 12/31-Jan 4, 2026. By far one of the best rental house experiences we've had. Host Heidi was thorough and ultra-responsive with early check-ins for our needs, responses to questions and suggestions along the way. The house itself feels almost new with every gadget and amenity you could ask for including toiletries, food/bev supplies and nice multiple sets of dish and cooking ware that made us feel we were spoiling ourselves. The layout was spacious and bathrooms very well done. The outdoor patio is wonderful with shade and screens but so big you still very much outdoors. The piers and seating areas near the water were also great. We used the grill and fire pit and fished from the pier. The river is peaceful and fun to watch - Saturday was a busy boat day and some people really rip through there which is unfortunate but going to happen. All in all, we really came to love the quiet road and well-done decor and feel of the house and would definitely stay again. Highly recommend and trust the pictures and description. Thank you Heidi and Leo!

About the host
Hosted by Heidi Brito
We relocated from Miami to Central Florida a few years ago. We love nature and everything central Florida offers. I truly enjoy being a host and take pride in making sure your vacation is truly memorable.
Why they chose this property
We chose this particular neighborhood because our vision was for our children, family and friends to be able to have a place to unwind and decompress from work or the city life. We then decided to open the doors to guests and have enjoyed the experience of meeting each of our guests!
What makes this property unique
The property is unique because even though it is located off the beaten path, I remodeled the home to make you feel like you are staying in a 5-star hotel. You are surrounded by nature and the quietness of the night, but have everything you need at your fingertips.
