About this property

Old Florida Charm

This large, 1925 classic old Florida home in lovely Eustis will hold your vacation memories. It's clean and comfortable, with updated bathrooms, all new windows. Be aware that there are level changes and sloped floors on the now- enclosed porches.

It has four spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, and several extra rooms. There are two enclosed porches (one with a bed) and a speakeasy, plus a half acre yard with a fenced 8 foot deep pool.

There's a separate cottage on the 1/2 acre property. It is now a small airbnb, those guests do not have pool rights, that's for the main house.

This house has a ton of old charm to it, we loved it. The yard is huge and the pool is a great addition! The house was within 15 mins of everything we had to do (in town for a youth basketball tournament). The host (Amy) was very quick to respond to any questions we had. I would definitely recommend!

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Aug, 2025
You were nice clean guests, so thanks for that. But let's be clear. It doesn't smell dirty, or icky, it smells like the wood of a 100 year old house. Which is very clear in the listing, that it's old. Don't stay in an old house if you don't like that (lots of people do) and mess me up with a bad review. Please next time read the description before you stay somewhere.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Taylor

Host profile image
I grew up in Florida in the 60's. I worked in the tech side of TV in my career...editor, producer, teacher. I have been hosting short term rental guests for over 20 years and I like it. As a frequent traveler, I think I get what guests want.

Why they chose this property

Except for the school, it's a super peaceful neighborhood. If you hate children laughing across the street during the day, don't stay here.

There are four bedrooms upstairs, and one double vanity sink, plus a shower bathroom. There's a full bed on the back porch, but it's not made up for guests; you have to let us know and there is an extra charge of $35. There are minor level changes in the house due to 100 years of add-ons....two of the upstairs bedroom have a step down to them. I raised the living room floor to install real oak, so there's a sloped threshold to the dining room. However, a person with some disabilities could comfortably stay on the ground floor, with the ramped porch and two spaces to sleep on the ground floor. There is no level change larger than a threshold. There is a tub/shower on that floor, it's not ADA.

The entire 2,300 square foot house, the pool, and the front and side yards are yours to enjoy. There's a separate small cottage on the half acre. Trusted tenants Deonte and JJ live there. it doesn't intersect with your space.

What makes this property unique

Small town charm, but so close to everything. Old oaks draped in Spanish moss in an historic neighborhood. You will enjoy exploring the rolling hills around Eustis, Lake County, and getting the flavor of Old Florida. There are amazing public springs with 15 or 20 miles. 60 miles to the Atlantic.
