Thank you Dawn! I love this peaceful, quite place. The woods and creek in the back was serene. The location was perfect for the kayaking we wanted to do.

We loved the secluded location and the it was great to have the kayaks to use. This is real Florida with less tourists and a slower pace. Dawn was an excellent hostess!

Dawn was an amazing host we had a small issue with some dead bugs and she went out of her way to make it right. The area was quiet neighbors i did see were beyond friendly. It was perfect distance to get to the springs 5 minutes to kayaking . We will be back!!!

Upon arrival, we discovered dozens of half dead wasps in the master bedroom and a roach in the kitchen, we called the manager and although very apologetic and she did knock off 100 for the inconvenience as we had to clean up the mess. We then tried to use the balcony, but it was so full of Cypress needles that it was slippery and she sent out the housekeeper and an exterminator the next day. But the balcony still was so green and slimy. It was slippery and we could not use it. The neighborhood resembles a trailer park. The location was good for what we needed to go to Weeki Wachee and Pine Island, and a large variety of restaurants around.
