Clean, quiet, and close to Shands.
We were there for cancer surgery for my husband. It gave us a place as a family to be together. Close to hospital. The house was perfect. We were thankful for a home away from home.

Spotless!
House was lovely. Spotlessly clean and I really appreciate the labeled light switches. Little touches like that make a huge difference. House is very centrally located so we never had far to go to area activities and we loved the pool. Really pleasant experience. Will be first place I look for if I return to the area.
