perfect stay. (sorry that we had to leave early on account of a massive snow storm that promised air travel chaos!) Quiet and peaceful spot and beautiful clean house. hosts replied to our texts quickly.
Fabulous host! Extremely clean home…very comfortable layout. We loved being away from the crowds of homecoming visiting our daughter, but it is still an easy drive to campus. We got to visit more parks this time and the host recommendation of the local Blue Hwy Pizzeria was fantastic! We have 2 more years of our kiddo at UF and we would love to stay again!

We are happy that you and your family enjoyed our home. We’d be glad to welcome you back anytime soon!
Will stay again if available! I’ve stayed in dozens of vrbo’s, and this one is at the top of the list! Was there to fish orange lake! 15 minutes to boat ramp, 5 minutes when the new one opens! Hosts were wonderful! Everything was 5 stars! And a clean grille!! And a free bottle of wine!
