Kim was a superb host! Helpful, available but not intrusive at all. The accommodation was clean, new, well equipped and in a lovely waterfront environment that transported me back to the many historical novels set in the south that I have been so enamored with. Beautiful old Florida with moss hanging from trees and beautiful bird songs abound. We enjoyed the nearby springs and rivers and had a lovely time.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Enloe

Host profile image
We moved here from Colorado approximately 8 years ago. Love to fish and boating.

Why they chose this property

Secluded down a 3/4 mile dirt road and the very last house. Lots of trees and wildlife. River around 3 sides of the property. Beautiful views. Very relaxing!

What makes this property unique

Location is in the middle of several cities with lots to do. Secluded, away from the city yet close enough for entertainment.
