This was our 8th stay! It's such a relaxing and peaceful place. we fished off the dock and caught alot of little brim. Which we returned back to the river. Watched a baby gator eyeing us. It's truly a natural paradise! Enjoyed our coffee on the porch,while watching the cardinals,woodpecker,and hummingbird. Thankful for a few days there, but didn't want to leave there!Hope if God wills it we will be back!

Can’t wait to come back

This home brings me so much happiness and joy, I’ve had the pleasure of staying here many years ago with family, when I saw this was a rental on VRBO I was thrilled, the home/ property is absolutely beautiful. Dana is an incredible host and we cannot wait to come back. The birdhouse has a special place in my heart

The Birdhouse is a very special place for a couple and a furry friend. A peaceful setting which is close enough to all the activities, restaurants and shopping. Who knew rocking on the lovely screened porch while watching the beautiful cardinals feed would be the highlight of every day?!

Didn't want to leave

This place is good for the soul. We could sit on the huge screened porch and the dock forever. Lovely, clean, secluded, and tranquil. Thank you, it was the perfect place to unwind and remind ourselves to slow down.
