We had the most kind and welcoming host anyone could hope for. The house was clean and tidy. The views are out of this world. Especially the sunsets. The outdoor section area was very roomy. If I could give it more stars i would. You will be pleased if you book this gem.

We loved this location! This was our first trip to Florida and we wanted to be close to where we could swim with the manatees. We wanted to be on the water, but not on a canal (still, dark water) and not where houses are practically on top of each other. This property is on a beautiful lake, on a quiet road, and houses are not squished together. When home, we spent much of our time on the huge deck feeling the breeze and listening to, and watching, a multitude of birds.The house is a bit older and worn, so if you like things shiny and new this may not be your best bet. But everything was serviceable (and we could tell that the owner has worked on sprucing up the place - the falls and flooring were clean and nice, the kitchen had newer appliances and cabinets). While there I had a couple questions, and we had a couple small things need attention, and the property manager was absolutely speedy in her replies and responses.Although an older property, I feel the price is great for it's location, view, and beautiful bird calls and sightings.

Beautiful view

We loved this place the view from back porch was amazing. Fishing the lake can be a task unless you know or someone with you knows the lake but a short ride to the springs and crystal clear water. Definitely would stay here again.

Weekend Getaway

It was a quick weekend getaway as we had a family reunion in the area, so we wish would could have stayed longer. The property manager was great, easily accessible, prompt to reply and friendly. Very peaceful and comfortable; scenic and relaxing.

House Review

Loved the house and the view is amazing. The only downside is that the water smells like rotten eggs (sulfur). It's pretty strong. Also, the deck is wonderful but for little ones it is not safe as railings could easily be fallen through and the bottom or the railing a small child could crawl through. Of course, we were always with our kids on the deck and they loved the house. That would be the only two improvements I could think off. Host was amazing! Always responded and even came over to help us with the TV. Neighborhood is great and not too far from town.

Unsafe stay

Spider webs need to be pressure washed from the exterior of the house, bunk bed securements missing and loose, bedding dirty, dining room chairs broken, outside trash can full, upstairs hand-railing cables unsecured and missing, and patio furniture dirty.

House was very clean and comfortable, however water temperature and water pressure in showers was very disappointing. I would recommend that owner try to remedy this for future renters.

Could have been better..

We were excited about this rental due to its beautiful location, but our stay was disappointing due to several issues. Upon arrival, we discovered parts of the ceiling were missing, which was not mentioned in the listing, and we found bugs inside. The biggest problem, however, was the unbearable sulfur smell. Even after closing bathroom doors and toilet seats, the odor was so strong that none of us—my wife, kids, in-laws, or I—could shower. We had to use bottled water for quick washes, which felt ridiculous. Additionally, two of the exterior stairs had large openings that posed a serious safety risk to my daughter.The property itself was basic for the price. The TV required us to log into our own streaming accounts, and the beds lacked headboards, which made the space feel uncomfortable. There was no BBQ lighter for the fire pit, and we were disappointed by the checkout experience. We were slightly delayed due to feeding our baby, but the cleaners were waiting outside, calling and pressuring us to leave, which made us feel rushed. While the location has potential, the issues we faced didn’t justify the cost, and we left feeling frustrated.

Seen better days...

Good: living areas were clean and pleasant.Not-so-good: Ceiling fan in living room literally had 1/4" of visible dust on all the blades. It appears no maintenance has been done in a long, long time, especially on the exterior- missing soffit, can light dangling, multiple burned out lights, rust on entry door, thick cobwebs & dead bugs. Most closet door and sliding door screens are difficult to operate. Worst of all for us was the smell of the tap water: nearly unbearable due to heavy sulfur- make sure you take bottled water for cooking/drinking! This explains the multiple plug-in air fresheners. Internet extremely slow but this was a positive- take a forced "digital vacation"! Oddly, there is a big oval window in one of the showers facing the road...but no covering or curtain. This means, especially at night, your top half is 'on display' to people driving by. Women in the group weren't thrilled.Location is A; balcony, dock and fire pit were wonderful. Overall, house was probably nice a few years ago but is on the verge of really going downhill if some work isn't done soon. We felt the rental cost was barely in line with value. This rental as-is would make a fine fishing camp for a group of buddies, less nice for friends/family vacation. We enjoyed ourselves overall and it was very relaxing to watch the birds and sunsets on the balcony, but we won't be going back to this house.

Lovely and relaxing stay

Lovely property and home! The interior of the house is just as described in the listing--very clean, neat, and comfortable. The outdoor porches are very nice with an awesome view, but they did need a nice wash and sweep--found a lot of leftover incense sticks and dirt. The bonfire area was really nice as well as the dock and lake! Had a great stay :)

A perfect relaxation spot!

This property was just as pictured - clean, serene, and came with all the details to ensure you have a relaxing stay. Beautiful waterfront views and open layout! It is tucked back in a quite neighborhood, and was the perfect spot for day trips to the springs and quiet evenings with a campfire and friends! We hope to make this an annual trip and would definitely stay here again!
