The house is very spacious. There is so much activity. The area is centrally located. We ventured out to Mt. Dora, St Pete’s, and Ocala and each had it’s own unique style. Rainbow River is almost around the corner with great swimming, tubing and kayaking. When you knocked yourself out you could come home to calming cove and take time to watch the birds. Everything you might need is thought of by Jennifer; from games, to barbecue, to spices, to nice dishes, and plenty of towels.. Jennifer also responded quickly to any communications. The only we’re sad about is that time flew by so quickly. Thank you Jennifer for making this a very enjoyable vacation. ##### Ronne D.

Fished the lake and withacochiee river caught a lot of Bass and crappie , also caught a bowfin! There was tons of alligators around the lake I believe because they were mating , but i thought it was pretty wild! I Would definitely stay here again! ##### Luke P.

Loved just relaxing on the dock, kayaking, fishing, bird watching, and swaying on the hammock. Heated spa pool was wonderful, and great pizza just down the road. Hosts made check-in a breeze and every guest detail was given forethought and taken care of. Would stay again and our kids are thinking of doing the same with their friends. Perfect. ##### Richard R.

They thought of everything. Kitchen was well equipped including ceramic coated frying pans. Beds were comfortable. Pool was small but perfect size to float or do a little water aerobics. Jennifer was very helpful and responsive. ##### Rhonda P.

The home is immaculate and well stocked. I must say as a frequent renter, Jennifer and Mike thought of everything and it is now ranked as my favorite of all time. The home and grounds are beautiful and we were lucky to have fabulous weather. Being at the elder end of the scale, we did not partake in use of all the toys but there is fun for all ages. And my aching back certainly appreciated the heated pool/spa. We also fell in love with the area in and around Dunnellon and look forward to our return to Calming Cove in 2026\. Best recommendation I can give is to rebook and we have already done that. Thank you Jennifer and Mike!! ##### Peggy Y.

It has everything you need to relax and enjoy. Weather worked out perfect while we were there to enjoy some kayaking on the Rainbow River. Loved the nature sounds in the morning while watching the birds and squirrels. All very well kept. We did get to enjoy the spa/pool before we left for the weekend. A plus all around for the property and quick communication with the host! ##### Linda G.

This was our first family vacay since my husband's sroke and is in a wheelchair... it was such a smooth, comfortable, accessible, fun time. We all enjoyed the home and property. Plenty of space for everyone, organized and labeled amenities and supplies. Fishing off the dock, kayaking, cooking, grilling, and of course, the bird watching out if the picture window into the beautifully cultivated bird garden was so enjoyable. We surely hope to be able to return to this haven, a true Calming Cove. ##### Carol R.
