Home away from home

Great location, close to the Mayo Clinic where we had to go several times a week for a month.The home was spacious and comfortable. It felt like home. The neighborhood was very nice. Lots of wildlife in the pond out back for the kids to enjoy. The hosts were great and very responsive to questions. The home was well stocked with the regular household items you would need. I would highly recommend this place for any length of stay!

Beautiful Property Inside and Out

This property is absolutely amazing, and we were in awe when we walked in because the pictures cannot do it justice. The home is spacious, beautifully decorated, well-stocked, and we had more than we needed for a wonderful, relaxing stay. The living room furniture is high-end and very comfortable. The beds were also extremely nice and comfortable. The screened porch that overlooks the lake is such a peaceful place where we enjoyed seeing a variety of wildlife all around. There were herons, different types of ducks, geese, ibis, and a pink spoon-billed shoveler (that we looked up because it was so unique). Michael and Gary were excellent hosts, and we appreciated their kind hospitality. We will definitely stay in this property again when we're in the area because the accommodations were a highlight of our stay.

Peaceful and Relaxing

What a lovely, clean home with plenty of room. The kitchen was well equipped and the amenities were exceptional for a home away from home. The lanai was the perfect place for morning coffee while watching geese and herons on the lake. The location was perfect with shopping, grocery, and movie theater just a short distance from the home. I would definitely recommend this home for a nice get away.

About the host

Hosted by Michael and Gary

Host profile image
After staying at some other places, my brothers and I decided to create a cozy getaway that has a Vacation Home feel. Something to take you away from the standard, crowded old hotel scene, with the freedom of a private home. Just a great experience.

Why they chose this property

It's centrally located to the beach, sports and downtown. Plenty of nearby shopping with great local places to eat. Also, a very quiet neighborhood with great neighbors.

What makes this property unique

Has the feeling of a second home. The coastal, beachy theme will take you away from the average places. Lots of room to enjoy family time or just a quite peaceful place to relax. Also - nobody lives in the house and our housekeeping service goes the extra mile to keep the house immaculately clean.
