Summary: We stayed to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from UF Vet school. The house was beautiful and spacious. We had 4 adults and 1 teenager with plenty of room. We enjoyed mornings and evenings sitting on the dock and porch. We spent many hours fishing off the dock and landed a few small fish. The weather was also perfect the entire stay. I appreciated the canoe and kayak options however my family was scared an alligator was going to eat them LOL, no gators were seen. The only negative I have is the shower water pressure was weak and the ladies complained about getting shampoo out of their hair. Wasn’t a big deal for me and certainly not a deal breaker. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this house.
