About this property

Two-bedroom home for snowbird






YOU DESERVE THIS : The peace and quiet of "old Florida's" rural Nature Coast.



Enjoy your morning coffee in the relaxed comfort of a large screen porch, even if it is noon. There is no rush to roll out of your queen size bed because there is plenty to do locally

Bike or hike the near by rails to trails, Golf at one of the nearby courses, Spend a day with the mermaids at Weki Wachie Springs or check out the manatees at Homosassa Springs. Perhaps you would rather explore the scenery with a short drive on beautiful tree lined country roads and have lunch at one of our quaint restaurants.. Maybe venture out to the library or just fish from the owners privet dock. Otters, birds and the occasional gater can be seen if you just sit quietly and watch the happenings.

Have a boat? Bring it along. We have our own ramp. A Motorcycle or Trike? Great riding here and we have a garage to keep it safe and dry.

If you decide to get out of bed at 8:00 A.M. to visit Orlando, Daytona,or Hollywood Beach, maybe soak your toes in the Atlantic Ocean or the calm waters of the Gulf's Clearwater Beach. You can AND still have breakfast by 10:00 A.M. You are already ahead of yesterday's schedule so on the way home stop in at the Villages. Enjoy the entertainment at one of the Village Squares.

TIRED YET ? Go back home :It's Quiet comfortable and well equipped Maybe some TV. Then off to bed. Let the owls and other critters from the nearby Flying Eagle Wildlife Preserve lull you to sleep. REST WELL TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY.WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO ?

Snowbirding

We stayed here for 9 weeks, and it met our needs. Host Dave was accessible and helpful, yet not intrusive. The large screened-in porch was our favorite part for reading, doing puzzles, etc. Note: This is not waterfront property: the water and dock pictures belong to the host and are just across the street, and renters are allowed to use.

Best Host you could ever have

Dave went the extra mile many times during my mom's stay ( 2 months). He assisted in getting her to the hospital two different times. He did so many other things for her it was unbelievably. Great communication and a caring guy.

A Very Relaxing and Enjoyable Vacation!

Dave and Susie were wonderful hosts. Our home was fully equipped with all the necessities that we needed. A ceiling fan that broke during our stay was immediately replaced with a new ceiling fan. Our home was very clean when we arrived. Our three cats were welcomed and really enjoyed the warm sunshine on the screened-in porch. We will definitely stay with Dave and Susie again when we plan our next vacation to central Florida.

Nature Coast Gem

First of all, Dave and Susie are exceptional hosts! They were attentive to our every need! Dave greeted us on arrival and gave a a tour of the house, highlights in town and introduced us to some great neighbors. Their home has everything you could possibly need from comfy beds to a giant screened in porch for you to enjoy. If you have any concerns they are right across the street to help you out. We loved exploring the Nature Coast, there is so much natural beauty close by. There is a 47 mile paved bike path, grocery shopping and restaurants 10 minutes away. Come prepared to see alligators, turtles, sand cranes and more. They are pet friendly so you don’t have to leave your fur kids back home. So glad we chose this rental. We now consider Dave and Susie friends and will be back to visit when we are in town again.

Wonderful Stay!

We had a great time at Dave and Susie's home. We relocated from Minnesota to Florida and stayed here temporarily for two months until we closed on our new home. Dave was super accommodating and friendly. He even gave my husband a tour of the area and brought our 6 year old son for a ride on his John Deere. I would recommend this stay to anyone!

Great place,

This is a great vacation rental. It’s a nice quiet secluded area if that’s what you’re looking for. Rental is clean, updated & has anything you may need. Kitchen is totally equipped. David and Sue are the perfect hosts & will help with anything you might need. My dogs & I loved the stay. Shamrock Inn in Floral City has good food as does the Pine Street Pub in Inverness. The Rainbow Springs State Park in Dunnellon is very scenic. The only thing that could be added is maybe a lawn chair or two. Thanks again to David & Sue.
Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar 2020
Thank You for the great revue. Never gave the lawn chairs a thought. I guess we were too busy worrying about the paperclips, tape, and rubber bands. Ask and you shall receive. There will be chairs here for your next visit. Dave

Quaint, cozy getaway!

This house is perfectly located to so many different fun things to do. Just an hour’s drive or less in any direction will take you to fishing, kayaking, hiking, food, the beach, and so much more! Dave was a great host. He checked on us regularly to see if the house was meeting our needs and was there to offer advice or suggestions for what the area had to offer. The highlight of our stay was a day trip to Crystal River where we rented kayaks and paddled with the manatees!

Was plesantly surprised.

The road to get here is very twisty but well worth it Every thing you could need is here and if it isn't they will get it for you. All you need is food and your clothing. I would stay here again if it's available.

The location was great and the neighbors were very friendly. Dave was an awesome host!

If you need to get away from city life and congested urban sprawl, this vacation rental is perfect! Dave, our host, was charming and accommodating. He was able to extend our stay because the closing on our house took longer than expected. The rental is charming and has all the basic essentials. It is only 4 miles from shopping and restaurants but far enough away to feel the freedom that nature has to offer. You will not be disappointed if you go to this part of Citrus County with an open mind and the intention to relax. Thank you Dave for being such a great host!!!
