Amazing getaway

This property is well out of the way from hussle and bustle. Quiet and tranquil. I couldnt have wished for more.Wake up to great birding, put some lines in the water off the dock, or push our kayak in the water for a paddle.Public boatramp is adjacent to the property. A FWC Wildlife Enhancement Area is at the end of the street. 20 minutes from Itchetucknee Springs and 20 minutes from Ginnie Springs.Great place to unwind. Didnt want to leave!

Amazing Vacation House deep in the woods and on the river! Just what we needed!

The house was very very clean and everything essential was there. The game room is GRAND, filled with multiple seating arrangements and a full sized pool table, there was still room to feel like you weren't on top of each other. All the TVs were wall mounted for ample space, and had bluetooth which is excellent for headphones to ease down quietly, and also accommodating for a bluetooth speaker for surround sound! The river was gorgeous and we were greeted by otters at dusk on one night, munching on fish and mussels, super cool! True FLA experience.

Impromptu Getaway

The location was exactly what we were looking for. Very peaceful for a relaxing weekend. The downside…the water pressure was very poor. The first night we noticed the water pressure wasn’t great but we could deal with it. The next 2 nights there was barely enough. The toilets wouldn’t flush for a while. Then the shower heads had no water. The water returned in form of a light trickle. Informed the owner but there were no available plumbers. The owner was very apologetic and offered us a partial refund. We made the best of it but it wasn’t pleasant not being able to take a proper shower. On a side note, the house was spacious for us and comfortable enough. Housekeeping could improve a bit. There were spider webs above the main sliding doors and crumbs and dirt under the family room sofa. The towels smelled musty and a few were stained. The grounds need a bit of TLC. The table at the river’s edge is broken and the garden hose did not work. Definitely recommend to bring your own drinking water and wine bottle opener

River stay Flooded River

We booked a river house to enjoy boating and kayaking . The river flooded a few days before our stay. Absolutely not the fault of the management company. However when we asked about the river, we were never given any details except "we will check with our team" I specifically asked because we wanted to make other arrangements for our vacation if the river was not able to be accessed. We asked for a partial refund it was initially denied stating it would not be fair to other guests. The communication was horrible, we would text or email. Then get a response a day or two later, but never with any actual details or answers. Mainly " let me check with the team" nothing that said the river was flooded and at the back deck and was not safe to be in. Finally on the last day we received an 18% refund. The house is very nice, the location perfect. We would have loved to go back at a different time if the communication of the team would have been better. I learned to never book with this management company during any possible flood.
