This home was perfect for us. Super clean and everything you need and more to enjoy your stay.The property owner, Jimmy, was very responsive when I bugged him with questions. He has great taste with the decor and some funky fun light fixtures. Huge TV’s in all the rooms. Quiet peaceful area not far from some of the attractions.Our tiny senior Yorkie loved the yard. I’m so glad I found this wonderful home. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. Great for couples and families with children.

Quaint house. Lots of room. Host was very accommodating. A/C went out one night. Host was right on top of getting it repaired. Offered a bit of a refund as well. Host was able to accommodate a later checkout time as well. We had an early dive that morning in Rainbow Springs. Gave us the opportunity to come back, regroup, and check out. I’d stay here again. Conveniently located to town and dive locations.
