Having a large family get together? 18 people between the two houses sound about right? We try to keep our home(s) a superior value for families, but we must also take inflation into account when setting rates!

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
It was very family, friendly, a very welcoming home. We love the outside decks the best part of the whole house. Also the living room area accommodates all nine of the guest that were possible in this day. We use the kayaks to get out onto the river and it was a marvelous time. The host was easy to contact whether it through Verbo or on his phone. We thank you very much for a wonderful day.

6.0 / 10.0Average·Dec 2024
We were surprised at the age of the home and musty feel but location location location! You are right on the canal. We didn’t have any bugs but we did have problems with areas being dusty. I looked behind the bedroom lamp for an outlet and it was very dusty, also the small fan in the bedroom was covered in dust so I cleaned it thoroughly before we used it. We arrived in hot weather and left in cold weather so we know both a/c and furnace work great. The bedding was from the 70's and my sheet had a burn hole in it. My washcloth in the bathroom had a huge tear. There were plenty of washcloths so it should have been tossed instead right on the top of the pile.Ample cooking pans and utensils, air fryer, coffee maker Keurig so pick up some pods, there wasn't any. Lots of ice trays and cubes.Only 2 dishwasher tabs so we had to go out shopping because when we pulled out glasses they were dirty and food crumbs in the silverware tray. I put all plus the tray in the dishwasher so there went one tab but I knew they were clean. No shampoo or conditioner but there was tiny hotel soap bars so be prepared to bring everything. Having a washing machine was great, we took advantage of the 2 washer tabs.The bed out in the new bedroom had an issue because it was a sheet on top of a plastic covered mattress. I can see why someone would have plastic on it but an actual mattress cover wouldn't make you sweat all night. We did rent a boat from the local guy, Weeki Wachee boat
