Absolutely loved this property!!!

Best vrbo I have had! We were greeted by onsite owners and given a tour upon arrival. Cottage is full of island style decorations and outdoor areas are full of bird feeders and yard decorations. We saw almost as many birds as at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. Ideal place to stay if you are a nature lover and Karen & Don couldn’t be more accommodating

This was a peaceful and beautiful place to stay. The home is very close to activities and the family we came to visit. The property is beautiful and pictures do not do it justice. It’s even prettier in person. I would love to stay again.

Excellent Stay

I stayed here for 2 weeks, It was excellent value for less than the price of a hotel room! The place is situated on the river, had excellent scenery and all the amenities you can think of! Karen and Don were fabulous hosts as well and are very accommodating your stay to help with anything that you need. I look forward to my return to the Treetops cottage.

Loved it

Enjoyed the location, the privacy, and the beauty of the VRBO. We also enjoyed the cozy living quarters. Sitting out on the dock on the imperial river, we enjoyed the birds, the flight path of ibis and Heron’s, and saw at least 10 manatees swim by. This was a highlight as we are nature lovers! The owners were very accommodating!

Perfect getaway

Staying at Tree Top was a perfect combination of canal access and ( kayaks are included in the rental) short drives to beaches. Don and Karen were accommodating from initial contact and throughout our stay. We loved sitting out in the lovely garden by the canal.
