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.

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!

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.

Better than expected!

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. Highly recommended!
