Please note: the driveway to get to Moody Woods is long - and a little hidden. We have placed signs up for better road visibility. But you will turn in and drive down a dirt road alongside a long fence - you will pass the garage of another home on your left - and continue through the fence area. There are motion activated lights that come on at night at the front of the house to assist with visibility. There really aren't any street lights visible back that far. **This is a 1 acre property in a very wooded area - so there will be a variety of native Floridians about - from birds, squirrels, bugs, and maybe a snake or raccoon from time to time. Please keep that in mind.
**Parties are strictly prohibited - as noted in the rental agreement. Penalties will be enforced. The property is monitored by Noise Aware as noted in the booking agreement.
**Charcoal is not included. Firewood is not included.
ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE
Guest Arrival is anytime 4pm EST or after. If the property is approved for early arrival, you will receive a message letting you know you can arrive early and we will activate the door code. If you do not receive a message, then the arrival will remain at 4pm EST.
Guest Departure is anytime 10am EST or before. If you have not departed by this time and do not have written prior approval for a late departure, you will be assessed a $50 late departure fee for every 30 minute delay. The Cleaning Services we use schedule their teams for multiple cleans in advance and any unplanned delays create issues. With unscheduled/unapproved late departures, they are required to bring in additional team members to assist, which incurs a higher cost that must be charged. Any requests made for a late departure must be made a minimum of 24 hours in advance of departure time and are subject to approval/availability.

We needed a place to stay while the plumbing in our house got fixed and this was perfect. Very private but lots of space. Great home away from home. The homeowner/property manager was very thoughtful and communicative when it came to us extending for another week. All the way around it was a great experience.

The listing said "dogs give us 5 stars", and my huaband and I both agreed that our dogs would give the property 5 stars. It was like taking them to a dog park, but having the whole place to ourselves.

We had a great stay at Bart and Sue's home for a few days. We especially enjoyed the giant, fully fenced yard for our dogs. We felt right at home and enjoyed the peace and quiet while still being a short drive to everything we needed.

Thank you for staying with us Rebecca! We are glad you enjoyed everything and your pups enjoyed the yard! Best Wishes, Bart & Sue
I have stayed here 2X because it is close to family and great for dogs. Large shady yard! There was a hole that my dog found which I was assured will be looked at. I also had an issue with neighbor’s chicks coming in under privacy fence. If you have a dog with high prey drive you’ll have to be watchful.

Thank You!

If your traveling with dogs this is a great place to stay, huge yard for them to run and play, it’s an older house with lots of charm, outside game room was well stocked with a huge variety of games as well as tons of board and card games in side the house plenty of dishes, pots,pans, cutlery and linens literally a home away from home

Thanks for staying with us Jerry! Yes we are pet friendly - and we also use a professional cleaning service in between every guest stay. We do our best to eliminate that, we recommend since you don't have pets and that is a concern, that you select properties that are not pet friendly for future stays! That is the best way to be sure you don't have any concerns.
Safe travels to you!

Thanks for staying with us Alison, we are happy you enjoyed your stay! We know mattress firmness is definitely a personal preference - and have had that experience in our own travels. We wish you would have reached out during your stay - we would have been happy to drop off more pillows that may have helped with your comfort! Thank you so much - best wishes to you & your family!

This is the 2nd year we have rented this house and love the big fenced yard for our dogs to run.
Comfortable living space, including new living room furniture make it a great place to relax.

Our daughter and husband bought a house in Green Cove Springs, so this property was the perfect location for us to stay with our dogs and have our own space. Traveling to their house to help move them in was a breeze.
Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Friendly neighbors and very quiet.
As long as we have our dogs, we will stay here when we come back to visit the kids.

My two small dogs and I were in town for a competition and this property was perfect for our needs. Tucked back in a quiet neighborhood with a fully fenced HUGE yard the dogs had plenty of room to play. The house has everything you could need including big Roku ready flat screen TVs. The bed was comfortable and kitchen even had a keurig. I will definitely be back next year.
