House lives up to its reviews
It was so wonderful to stay at a property that was accurately described and lived up to expectations. Perfect for 2 familys to stay in house together and still have their own space. Patty was wonderful and kind even bringing us beach chairs and a cooler when needed. We look forward to staying here again

Wonderful vacation home for a big crowd
The pictures do not do justice to how lovely this home is. It had plenty of room for our 10 guest. The owner was amazing and helped us figure out how to use the included kayaks to paddle to the Three Sisters Spring. (Which was beautiful!) We saw Manatees right from the dock. The pool was perfect and the living room accommodated all of us for movie night. The game room kept us entertained when we were ready to come inside. The neighborhood was private and was a great place for a morning run or a bike ride on the included bikes. The only negative we have is we wish we wouldāve stayed longer. Excellent place!!

Gorgeous, roomy well equipped home. Everyone had all the space they needed. We were a party of twelve., so 4 full baths was great! There was an issue with the plumbing, but the owners persevered and got it fixed. Plenty of kayaks, and 3 bikes. Lovely neighborhood. Would gladly rent again if we return to the area.

Our dad hosts a family vacation every year and we love coming to FL in March to escape the cold. This was a great house that our whole family enjoyed. The house was clean and well stocked. Patty was easy to work with and answered our questions. Plenty of kayaks for the whole family to enjoy the water. We saw manatees and a variety of fish. It was close to the Springs - beautiful water and wildlife. Everyone had a great time and would come back again! Thanks Patty for sharing your house!

What a wonderful stay! The house had so many spaces conducive for us to spend time together! From relaxing by the pool, kayaking to see the manatees, enjoying a family dinner, to relaxing in the recliners after a day of biking on the local trails.

This home is beautiful and has awesome amenities. It was the perfect home for our family of 10 to enjoy some quality time together. We got to kayak with manatees, ride home through the neighborhood, play lots of pool, and games. The layout was perfect as we could put all the night owls upstairs away from the early birds downstairs. Patty was quick to address the small issues we had.
