Property was clean and nice. It accommodated everyone. The only suggestion would be a beach area but we understand why it is probably not something that can be done. Would rent again.

Had a great time here, place was perfect for us, we relaxed and fished and enjoyed the view and wildlife. It’s perfect for my parents and my family to have a separate area with the guest house, and a great outdoor space to relax

Perfect graduation celebration retreat

The house was perfect for our extended family of 10 to celebrate the graduation of our son from UF. It was far enough away from the graduation weekend chaos of Gainesville. The area was quiet and the house had everything we needed for relaxing and eating. We had plenty of room (and then some) for all of our family.

This house was newly constructed about 6 years ago and was built for fun and large groups who enjoy being together

What makes this property unique

We have tile floors throughout both houses which makes cleaning up easier and the very large screened in porch offers plenty of room for games and fun.
