Kristin was an outstanding host. She brought extra blankets on a record cold week and checked in regularly to see we had what we needed and immediately responded to minor needs. I almost gave this a 4 bc of ongoing construction work just outside the property- it was quiet but someone was present regularly and the hole under the cottage and mounds of dirt took away from the atmosphere and experience.

The host was attentive and available as needed. The cute cozy cottage is just like the pictures. Perfect for a couple. Lovely lakeside property.

Lovely, comfortable, clean, awesome amenities and a perfect hostess with top notch communication.Excellent directions, easy check-in and private parking. Greeted with a fun holiday video playing Christmas musicEvery window had beautiful views of amazing Florida landscape and well lit boardwalk to a private pier. The kitchen was well stocked with absolutely everything you need. The refrigerator had condiments and drinks provided for everyone’s pleasure. We cooked breakfast everyday and liked the induction stove and induction cookware.The bathroom was large, well stocked with nice soaps, shampoos, nice hair dryer and luxurious towels. I forgot to pack my makeup remover but surprise, there was some there along with other goodies that I’m not used to!The luxurious bed and quality bedding was very welcoming and comfortable.The lake was so inviting and full of wildlife that we enjoyed coffee every morning on the peaceful dock. The seagulls, ducks and cranes were entertaining with their daily air and water shows!The highlight of my stay was the owner treating me to a private experience feeding the cranes and providing overall excellence!This charming VRBO exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to return!!! Thank you for a wonderful first post retirement vacation!!!
