We stayed 2 nights, it is a very nice neighborhood, 3 min drive from where we went snorkeling with manatees, and from Hunter Spring Park. My only remark is that picture of the dock gives a wrong impression as if it is located at the back yard of the property, which isn't true. There is a walking distance to the dock and water, so we couldn't really enjoy the kayaks that the property offer.

From the owner:
It was a pleasure hosting you and your family of 5 Inbal, I’m glad enjoyed our quiet neighborhood and especially the snorkeling with the manatees from our dock. I hope you enjoyed our kayaks and our new paddleboards.
We loved this charming home ! It is a supercool spot. The host was very accommodating and helpful. The location is fantastic and the setting is perfect. We especially enjoyed hanging on the screened in porch and using the kayaks. 4 stars - no complaints. We will happily come back in the future!
Clean little cottage with easy access to town and springs. Would stay again!
Place was cute, clean and great location. Only drawback was the ac, just 2 wall units. It was pretty hot when we first got there but cooled down so no one was miserable. Ceiling fans and regular fans helped keep the air cirxulating.
