The house was clean. Courtney (the host) checked with us a few times to make sure everything was good and was there to quickly respond to any questions we had. It’s a great location within walking distance to several restaurants and Dora Lake. It was a quiet area and it felt great relaxing in the hot tub. I definitely recommend this property to anyone

The location of this house was perfect for us. We could walk to Tavares and the restaurants there. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for the week.
