Quinn & Cyndi are so responsive and helpful! The property is comfortable, clean, and well maintained. We had 3 generations together & enjoyed the Florida Folk Festival immensely. We’re so glad we stayed here!

About the host
Hosted by Cyndi
Hi, we’re Quinn and Cyndi! We’re from Live Oak, Florida, and we’re passionate about real estate, renovations, and creating beautiful, welcoming spaces. Hosting is more than a job for us—it’s a joy. We love opening the doors of our personally designed and renovated homes to guests from near and far. Each house we share has been thoughtfully curated to feel warm, stylish, and comfortable, and we hope you experience the same sense of care and community we feel every day here in Live Oak. Welcome to your home away from home!
Why they chose this property
Live Oak has always been home for us, and we truly love it here. Helvenston is one of those rare neighborhoods that still holds onto that peaceful, small-town charm. It’s quiet, friendly, and filled with character. Whether you're taking a stroll or just relaxing on the porch, there's a comforting stillness that makes it easy to slow down and feel at home.
What makes this property unique
This home is over a 100 years old, and it's always held a special place in our hearts. It's more than just a house—it’s a part of our family’s story. We’ve taken great care to preserve its original charm while updating it with thoughtful, modern touches. From the hardwood floors to the cozy light-filled rooms, every corner has been lovingly remodeled to feel both timeless and welcoming.
What makes it truly stand out is the soul of the space—you can feel the history, but everything is fresh, clean, and curated with care. It’s not just a stay, it’s an experience of a home that has been cherished and now shared.
