Nice home
I wish vrbo would give accurate location before booking we had a large group and originally it showed the house within walking distance of the other house we rented but it was not. This house was kinda close but it was within a gated community which we couldn’t walk out of

Great house on the river
The homenis beautiful and a fun place to stay. it is in a gated community that we would take walks around in the morning and evening. And we used it as a home base to go snorkel with manatees, airboat rides, see the mermaids in weeki wachee aprings.
