Fantastic location for access to all of the central Florida places we wanted to visit. Quiet neighborhood in a quiet town. The host was friendly, helpful and accommodating. We also met the team members who support the host and they were friendly too. We will check the availability of this location anytime we plan another central Florida visit.

Host was very accommodating, quick to answer any questions we had. If you’re a cyclist, bring a gravel bike. There is a paved 29 mile rail trail. But there is a wilderness area Green Pond Swamp wilderness. Miles and miles of gravel

The home was as advertised. The furniture in the liy room was a bit more worn than it appeared online but it was still comfortable. The home was clean and comfortable and was perfect for the short trip we made to Florida. Host was quick to respond and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.
