Southern Country Comfort

SOUTHERN COUNTRY COMFORT

It’s Summer in The Springs

Looking to escape back in time when things were simpler? Looking for the perfect “ol’ time” Southern Country experience? Not upscale or fancy, where the kids and puppy dogs are welcome (pet bed and crate provided)!

This is the perfect “home base” as we are an hour and half from Disney, Daytona Beach, Daytona Speedway, Historic St. Augustine, museums and butterfly farm in Gainesville.

I loved growing up “country” and in the middle of orange groves. Now I would love to share that experience with my guests.

You won’t have to worry about dirtying the carpet or breaking a dish. You can pull the old washboard off the wall or use the clean and welcoming Laundromat right down the road. You can enjoy drinking your coffee from a Keurig or experience Old Time coffee perked on the stove or campfire. You can pick your own tomatoes in the fall and enjoy flowers during spring and summer.

Enjoy the sweet scent of pine in the air or pick up your own pinecones to take home for the holiday season or to enjoy year-round.

There is so much to see and do either on property or down the road…
• You can fish at the end of the road off the dock, hunt, swim in our three springs, go four-wheeling, watch the birds or play horseshoes with the neighbor down the road. Or have a rousing game of Corn Hole with family or guests.
• Bring your boat or canoe or rent one across the street. There are 2 bait and tackle shops nearby to supply with you with anything you might need
• Enjoy the beauty of the stars or fire flies while sitting in the fenced back yard by the fire or on the private patio.
. The property provides plenty of parking for your boat, ATV or guests.

You will feel at home the moment you open the door. You will be greeted by the warm smell of something wonderful and leave with a Special Gift from the lil’ ol’ jelly maker...me.

Welcome to my home…feel free to email me with any questions.

Winter getaway

We reserved Pam’s house the week after Christmas for some warm weather. Pam had everything ready, the house was comfortable. When we arrived Pam had some blueberry muffins waiting for us. She had toiletries that we might have forgotten. The house was in a great spot to enjoy the nearby springs. Saint Augustine is only an hour away so it is easy to enjoy all those beach activities. We loved our stay .

The "Southern Comfort" title of the property is certainly true.

Comfy, cozy, quiet and relaxing. Everything from utensils to pots & pans were available helped make our Family Thanksgiving Dinner a success! You can just feel the love and hard work that has gone into the garden areas surrounding the home. Pam greeted us to show us around and was extremely accomodating to our needs. How very special to be greeted with fresh blueberry muffins and leave with a jar of homemade jelly! The location is also worth a mention. We had family camping at Salt Springs & it was a very quick drive to go enjoy their camp & Springs. And then come home to a comfy bed. You could easily ride a bicycle back & forth. No need to pack your cooler for your mini vacation or worry if you forgot any toiletries. A 3min drive has you covered. Salt Springs Grocery & Dollar General are right there for your convenience. A true home away from home. Pamela's homey vibe allowed us to sit back and relax on our holiday vacation. Will be returning.

Salt Springs Getaway

The check in process was smooth, the house was decorated and charming. In fact, it was so cozy, I felt like I just walked into my mom's house. Everything worked in the house, Pamela was quick to respond to any questions. The house is located 4 minutes from Salt Springs and is within 30 minutes of several other fresh water springs. There are 2 small grocery stores within 5 minutes drive. A few restaurants if you don't feel like cooking. This is a perfect getaway for anyone looking for an area that is quiet and still close to amenities.

My children are grown and my husband just passed away. Over the years we have made a lot of improvements so that my children and visitors could come, enjoy and relax.
Now that everyone is grown and gone, I find I want to share this homey and comfortable home. I love baking , jelly making and rug making.
Being that this is a VRBO, my family can still come and enjoy anytime they want.
Come visit my home and leave everything else behind!
