About this property

Looking for a quick get away?
Snowbird? We have just the place for you!
How about a longer term rental for temp workers?
Or maybe you are looking for a bit of nature?

Well you found it! Road bike trails, kayaking, tubing, swimming with manatees, mountain biking (well hills...), just a quiet day at the local springs. They don't call this area the "Nature Coast" for nothing!

Our home is on a very private 2.5 acres with amazing views. Don't be surprised to see a fox trot by, a large owl spying down on you, a bobcat sneaking by or maybe a turkey or two. This is true rural Florida.

The space contains one bedroom, furnished with a queen bed. Living-room has a large sectional sofa and TV. Kitchen is a "kitchenette", small but does what you need it to. Full size fridge and range, microwave, and sink. All you need to enjoy simple meals at home, nice dishes along with basic pots and pans.

If you are visiting friends and family in Citrus Hills, Black Diamond, Beverly Hills, Lecanto or anywhere in the county, we make a great meeting spot. We are centrally located, right in the middle of county.

Many conveniences are close at hand, Walmart is one mile from the house, its a safe 20 minute walk if you chose. Publix is 2.5 miles to the east. Within walking distance is a a mom/pop burger spot; a sushi restaurant that also serves traditional Japanese, Thai, and Chinese; a Wawa, Wendy's and McDonalds; and a small park and multi-use paved bike trail.

The apartment is below our main home. You have a separate entrance and total privacy. That's why its called the "Down Under"!

If you find the dates you are interested in are not open, please check our other rental "Fern Hill Inn" VRBO #2421384. Fern Hill is a 2/2 and about 5 miles from The Down Under.

Ideal Setting

It was ideal for me, just what I had hoped to find. Having a quiet setting, a screened in porch area and a swing was perfect. The unit was well appointed and the hosts were very helpful.

Exactly like the Listing - Very well stocked

The place was great! Well stocked with little treats like some welcoming snacks and drinks, lovely notebook with all the local activities/brochures, a picnic basket ready with the basics for a fun adventure and some puzzles and games. Lots of cozy areas to relax and get lost in or do a little work if needed. Our visit was unfortunately too short to enjoy much of it but hope to be back at some point. Oh and communication with the owner was great: quick, easy and fast responses. Thanks for the hospitality. Only suggestion is to maybe air out the place a bit or leave some windows open felt a little stuffy. And maybe I missed it but some tea and a teapot would be a great addition. You are definitely well stocked for the coffee drinkers.

Peaceful and inviting

From the moment you turn into the driveway you are swept away into peacefulness. From the beautiful drive in through magnolias, palms and Spanish moss to the breakfast treats welcoming us in our stay was absolutely wonderful. The hosts are exceptional and attentive. And the apartment is super cozy and comfortable. It was also well stocked.

Thumbs up

2nd stay at this location. Owners were wonderful about keeping me informed as to potential issues with a hurricane that hit the area. Provided extra supplies and timely updates, which were greatly appreciated.
