Enjoyed our stay.
An older home, but one that is clean, affordable and where the owner has tried to think of and put in place those items that will make it enjoyable and comfortable for your stay! Being able to walk a few blocks to restaurants, like our favorite Puddle Jumpers, and Wooton Park with its shoreline walk and state-of-the-art playground, made choosing this rental the right choice for us.(Missed there not being a visitor’s book, which is a good place to get good idea’s for restaurants and nearby places not to miss.)

The house was very clean with lots of towels. My only issue was the wifi. It was not working when we arrived and despite multiple texts with our host, did not work the length of our four day stay. We were unable to watch tv or connect our devicesdevicesdesdeand despite multiple message

We stayed here during Hurricane Milton. The owner even allowed an early check in so we could be settled before the storm hit. She communicated promptly. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic Hosts
Karen has a beautiful home. She provided everything we needed with plenty of paper products, kitchen items, blankets, and towels! I’d definitely stay here again.
There was a category 1 hurricane while I stayed here, and I needed to speak to Karen. She was extremely quick to respond to my texts and she checked in on us often. All worked out and there were no major emergencies, and even though she had no control over the power being out, Karen helped solve questions I had.
My dad lives close by and this was the perfect place to stay while I visited and I’ll book next year if need. I highly recommend this quaint area and safe neighborhood. .

Belated 50th birthday
This home was perfect for a weekend getaway to paddle the springs. There was plenty of room for the 2 of us. It’s just a short walk to get to the water and downtown Tavares. This area is beautiful, relaxing and a short drive along the lake will get you to Mt Dora. Would definitely book again.

Stay in Tavares
We were in FL on business for a benefit bass tournament. The house was very clean and comfortable. Karen was very accommodating to or needs and very helpful. House was centrally located to the venues we needed to travel to. It was great and I would happily stay there again and recommend to anyone needing to stay in that area.

What a great quick getaway to this home! We loved the older homey feel. Very generous host! Close to quite a few restaurants/bars with good food and entertainment by the water. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back to the same place if we venture that way again!!!

Karen was a great host. She had a basket of goodies as well as multiple K-Cups available in the kitchen. She answered questions promptly and was able to leave a light on for us for our arrival. The space is small, but just what we needed as we just slept there.

Surprise 85th Birthday Party for my Dad!!!
This was the perfect place for us!! We planned this for over a year and had my sisters and my daughter drive from Texas and I came from Upstate New York and we had family from Carolina also. We had one mix up on the dates for the first night and Karen reserved a hotel for us and she paid for it. We much appreciated it. We would definitely rent this place again. We appreciated all the hospitality and our Dad's Birthday Party was a total sucess!!! Thanks so much for everything!!

This was our first time using VRBO. We had 7 people staying and it was a delightful stay. Wonderful “treats” were supplied by our host. Plenty of towels, for that large group. We enjoyed our stay!!
