Wonderful Property Near Family

We chose this location because it was close to our relatives who were hosting a Thanksgiving gathering. It was conveniently located, close enough to stores but still remote enough for privacy. The lake was beautiful, and the property managers offered a variety of amenities to make our stay even more enjoyable. Our only warning would be to understand that the drinking water in that part of Florida does have a sulfur smell and taste to it, so bring your own drinking water if that bothers you.

Just Ok

The location on the lake was beautiful. That is the only good part. When we arrived there was ice cream cups and spoons in the sink. The floor was dirty. The bathroom was not cleaned. The internet was non-existant. We had to use our hotspot on our phone. If you plan on cooking, don't. There is 1 pot that has peeling non stick coating and 1 pan. The fridge was gross. Something sticky was on every shelf. The main bedroom had dead bugs throughout the room. The house needs a deep cleaning. This house has the potential to be great but it falls really short.

Lovely home with great amenities

Fishing, eating, comfortable beds, and enjoying the family! Made a huge fire for marshmallow s’mores in a huge backyard leading out to the dock. Lots of room to gather for food and playing games. Very cute decor and everything you need to cook. Much nicer than I expected! Caught a huge bass off the dock with shiners from the bait shop. Master suite located away from the other bedrooms.

Peaceful relaxing break

My husband, me and our 3 daughters stayed here for 4 nights. We enjoyed the house with everything we needed to prepare meals and plenty of space for all of us. All we had to do was bring our food and fishing poles. My husband caught a huge 10 lb bass off the dock with me splashing on a float right there. We were were catching bass and bream daily. Perfect place with great amenities for a relaxing break in a beautiful place.
