Enjoyed everything about this stay! Location was ideal for visiting natural areas such as Wekiwa and Blue Spring (manatees) and Black Bear State Park. House was beautiful. We ate breakfast on the deck in the morning, watching a variety of birds and the chickens. Enjoyed a sour orange from the tree. We appreciated Ana's hospitality and advice. We look forward to our next visit. Truly a tranquil retreat.

From the moment the elegant driveway gate opened to welcome us in, we felt right at home at this peaceful, wooded retreat. We found this home to be impeccably maintained, quaintly decorated, and equipped with many state of the art conveniences. Our hosts went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and comfortable throughout our entire stay. We especially enjoyed watching the wide variety of beautiful backyard birds that visited the peaceful outdoor patio area. This rental is centrally located to many popular Florida attractions & beaches. We were able to return to this peaceful retreat each evening & not have to deal with the crowds, traffic & noise of bigger cities. Thank you again to our amazing hosts. If baseball ever brings us back to this area again, we will definitely book our stay here!
