Clean and neat

Very clean and neat. Loved the fenced in backyard for our elderly and deaf dog. He could roam around and stretch his legs. Great location close to Rainbow springs.

Retro River Pad ---Top Notch Experience

This house is amazing....cute, well cared for neighborhood with hilly lots and high enough elevation (100+ ft above sea level so a comforting hurrication haven.) SUPER well appointed and clean in every nook and cranny, the owners have restored this adorable 1950's brick home with love and creativity, and made the original tub, tiles, floor and kitchen super comfortable and pretty and clean. Fantastic place! Wonderful owners, very understanding during hurricane evac time that was hard for us, they made it easy. Thank you so much for having this cute, loving place available and so well managed and well done in restoration. Linens and hospitality details like kitchen and bath items very thoughtfully and generously done. Great screened lanai and nicely treed fenced yard and carport as well. Even great art on the walls evoking 50's and garden feel. A+++++

Clean and Comfy

We had to make travel plans on the road from Virginia and finding this home was exactly what we needed. It was a very short drive to Rainbow Springs where we spent the day and then came back to rest before to dinner. Having a full kitchen to make breakfast and a quiet neighborhood made this a favorite stop!
