What a great time. We airboated in the surrounding lakes and had no problems bringing our boats back to the property. We enjoyed the pool and spa. Plenty of room to play for the kids. We definitely would go back.

My husband, kids (ages 6 and 9), and I stayed here for 4 nights, 5 days. The location is more secluded but still convenient. There is a WalMart Supercenter 10 minutes away and a dollar store less than 5 minutes away. Legoland is about 35 minutes away, and Bok Tower Gardens is about 20 minutes away. We mainly chose this house for the outdoor space. The pool and hot tub anre awesome. The owners supplied a couple of pool floats and pool toys. There is also a fenced in yard area with fake grass (dog toys provided). And there is still a large front yard with real grass. The house itself is beautiful. Recently updated and well furnished. We enjoyed the split floor plan layout. There is also an enclosed Florida room with a mini fridge and access to the guest bathroom. We loved the kitchen and the large island. The owners supplied basically everything you might need to cook with including an air fryer. We used that every night! They also supplied water, coffee, and snacks which was really cool. There is plenty of toilet and paper and paper towels for use as well. In addition, there are a few bathroom necessities in case you forget something. The main con for us was the lack of curtains or blinds over the sliding glass doors in the master bedroom. It made it a bit of a challenge to sleep in late. Overall, we would definitely stay again. The owner is super friendly and responsive, which is great because you do have to text him to get the hot tub turned on when you want it.
