We thank you for the opportunity of the use of your house . Everything was amazing, every detail well taken care off. The outside transport us to a finca ranch and inside to cabin .

Great Stay!
The house is nice and spacious and close to restaurants and supermarkets. The kitchen is equipped with everything you may need. The beds were comfortable, with the exception of the king bed, which was on the soft side. The pool seemed bigger in the pictures. Overall it was a nice stayed with family and friends.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Smith

Host profile image
We are from Florida and enjoy remodeling, renovation and new construction. We lived in this home for a few years while we worked to renovate and update this property. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Why they chose this property

This home is conveniently located on 5 private acres of natural Florida landscape, it feels like you are in the country and you are near two natural springs; Wekiva Springs and Kelly Springs, but not too far from the main attractions and city conveniences.

What makes this property unique

This home was originally a club house for a set of condominiums that were being built on the property. It has a large slab for parking larger vehicles and trailers if needed. Since the house is situated on 5 acres, your have more privacy and plenty of room to stretch out.
