We found this great property while looking for a place to stay for a family, FL wedding. The house was well appointed and close to all of our activities. It was also clean, as pictured, and very comfortable! If only the weather was warmer- we weren't fully able to enjoy the sunroom or the lake! ##### Wilma D.

Bedrooms were spacious and comfotable. We appreciated the desk in the one bedroom for remote work. Close to grocery, local universities. Kitchen is well stocked and easy to work with. The living room is smaller but cozy. We spent most of our time in the covered porch enjoying the lake views. Neighborhood is tight and depending on the mapquest can seem a little concerning. However we encojntered no problems. Was quite and as soon as you enter the housd you forget your in a busy neighborhood. ##### Mitzi T.

There were a few minor issues that could be looked at, but there wasn't anything major for concern. The location was mid-way between two family groups so that was good. There is plenty of businesses in the area. The street itself was rather narrow and I'm not used to seeing so many cars parked all over the lawns that I passed. ##### Wayne R.
