Great house and inside amenities
4/5 The property is great on the inside. It was very very wet and flooded on the outside. Deep water covered the drive way and the back yard which prevent ability to utilize the grill (which in the listing states Gas it turns out is charcoal) and gazebo. The draining on the property is blocked could be repaired from what we can tell. It is also not close to Lake access.

Trip to visit family
5/5 We were visiting family in the area and looking for a rental that was close in location to their home. The check in process was and communication before, during and after our stay was excellent. Terri was so helpful with booking and kept us up to date with information as needed. The location of the home was quiet which made it very easy to put our infant down at night and nap times. The house offered all the amenities that we could have wanted and needed! If we are ever back in the area, we will keep the yellow house in mind for future stays!

Yellow house
4/5 Stayed at the yellow house on a hot July weekend. AC was quiet and kept the property nice and cool. Nearest public access to the water was in Melrose. The house was clean and comfortable. I would suggest some landscaping prior to fall when the temperatures allow you to enjoy the outside amenities.

Excellent Stay!
5/5 I have enjoyed my stay at The Yellow House in Waldo, Fl. Everyone has been so kind and understanding. I rented the home because my daughter was having a baby. The baby decided to be really late so I had to extend my stay a couple of times. Everyone was so helpful, kind and supportive. I didn’t have any problem during my stay but if I had a question the contact person (Teri) was very responsive. The home owners were superb. I will be back! I highly recommend this home. I know future guests will find it just as amazing.
Many THANKS to everyone who helped host my stay.
