Winter escape

House is lovely and is close to restaurants and shopping. Kitchen is well stocked. Golf is also nearby. Lots of wildlife including eagles, osprey, alligators and manatees. Caught a few bass and lost some too! Our Labrador also had a great time. And the owner responded very quickly to any concerns and questions we had.

We were a mandatory evacuation and found this house. It was the perfect home away from home. The house is super clean and the kids even fished in the lake. Jim was very responsive and helpful. We will stay here again.

Great location, immaculate house!

Friendly neighbors which was a plus since we had children and a boat. Navigating the driveway with a 37' trailer was a bit of a challenge but we finally made it and thankful for a property that would accommodate it. Great fishing off the dock caught a 4 pound bass!

Overall the property was fine. The air conditioning isn’t sufficient in the bedrooms. There could have been more towels for the bathrooms as well. I never found a trash can for the kitchen. We were there for the weekend to visit family in the neighborhood.

Fishing vacation

We absolutely loved the house, and it’s perfect location for us to be on the water everyday. Tavares and Dora being right around the corner makes it a perfect opportunity for good eats and plenty of tourist attractions if you’re not coming to fish the whole time like us.

The home was clean, well-appointed, and as advertised. We needed a place to stay for a few days while moving my mom into an assisted living facility. The large backyard on the water allowed us to relax and recharge after long days of packing.

Perfect location

The house had all amenities needed for our stay. Sitting in the screened porch was very relaxing overlooking the canal. We brought our bass boat, parking in driveway was easy. We were able to plug in overnight. Area is safe and neighbors are friendly. Close to everything. Owner checked in on arrival via text to make sure all was good. Definitely recommend!

Exactly what we needed

The house is in a quiet, safe neighborhood. We were in town for the college BASS tournament on the Harris Chain of Lakes, this house is not far from Venetian Gardens boat launch which made it perfect for us. The owner is very nice and helpful and responds quickly. We will likely stay here again on our next trip to Harris Chain.

Jim’s property is amazing! Our kids and dog enjoyed the huge yard and the dock on the canal to lake Harris. The property is located in quiet neighborhood between Leesburg and Lady Lake, close to plenty of restaurants and shopping. The house was very clean and comfortable, larger than I expected.
