First Class
Despite the weather from Hurricane Milton, our stay was perfect! Mark and Laurie were wonderful! Checked on us before and after the storm. Made sure we had anything we needed from a generatir, flashlights, and even glow in the dark light switch covers. Once the storm passed we made our way down to the dock on the property and took in the beautiful surroundings. Thank you Nark and Laurie for being such amazing hosts!

**Amazing Escape with a Stunning View*
I recently stayed at this wonderful rental house and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the breathtaking view that the house offers. Nestled in a serene location, the panoramic vista of the surrounding landscape provided a perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. The house itself was impeccably clean, spacious, and well-appointed with all the amenities one could need. The decor was charming and tasteful, adding to the overall comfort and ambiance of the place. Each morning, I enjoyed my coffee on the deck, soaking in the tranquility and beauty that surrounded me. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or a base to explore the local area, this rental house is an ideal choice. It truly felt like a home away from home, offering both comfort and a sense of escape. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a rejuvenating break. ---

We were so happy with everything that this place has to offer, it was a perfect fit for our vacation and the owners are very accomodating. We highly recommend it for a relaxing stay away from the hustle and bustle of the coast. Sitting on the dock in the evening and enjoying nature was a perfect way to end the day.

The perfect getaway
As soon as we walked in it felt like home. The ambiance was warm and inviting. And the special touches like the lighting inside and out helped ease any stress we were feeling. The charming house was immaculate and we didn’t want for anything. A big thank you to the Beggs. We’ll be back.

We'll be back!
We were very happy with our rental! It was perfect for our needs. We did some fishing from the dock and explored the nearby towns. Inverness has a cute theater where we saw a community theater show one night. The living room furniture is quite comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. Laurie and Mark were kind enough to leave a card, balloon, and birthday glass as we were there to celebrate my husband's birthday. They sent suggestions of things to do and checked to make sure we got in okay. We will definitely be returning for a future trip.

Perfect for a quiet getaway!
A absolutely loved my stay here. The house was very clean and comfortable and the outdoor space was just beautiful. This area can get a little dark at night, but the property was well lit (this is important to me as I often travel alone). It was so peaceful sitting outside at night. My dogs being able to join me was a HUGE plus. The hosts were fantastic. They were quick to reply to any questions, and provided a ton of things to do in the area (many of which I tried). Check in was super simple. I'd absolutely love to stay here again.

Relaxing & Peaceful
We (family of 3), live just 2 hours south, but rarely get a chance to spend time hi here advice Tampa. This was the perfect stay for us, clean and fresh with everything we needed for cooking and otherwise. Our little dog enjoyed the fenced in yard, our adult daughter took one of the kayaks for a spin, we enjoyed watching a movie at night in one of the 3 smart TVs. Loved having dinner in the screened in patio while listening to a light rain, then seeing several hummingbirds visiting the humming bird feeder just outside the screen. The garden has lots of plants that attract both hummingbirds as well as butterflies, just lovely. We enjoyed some great food at the nearby Sleepy Hollow Fish Camp, as well as exploring the town of Floral City. Who knew Floral City used to be bigger and more happening than Miami back in the day? Cool little downtown area. This was such a perfect place for us while we went tubing on Rainbow River and kayaking on Weeki Wachee. Highly recommended!

Clean, spacious, water access, screened in porch, laundry, bathroom, towels. Just wonderful. Book with confidence, and enjoy your stay. Inverness and Floral City are wonderful small towns off the beaten tourist path. Quiet and refreshing. Our hosts were easy to communicate with and very helpful. They offered recommendations, and were available for help. Overall...TOP NOTCH.

Wonderful Stay!
The property was just what we needed. Clean, comfortable, well outfitted. The size of the home was perfect for 2 couples and 2 dogs. The fenced backyard allowed us to have the dogs outside without worrying about them going near the water, and we still had access to a nice dock for fishing and enjoying the views. The hosts were responsive and I enjoyed running into them at the nearby fish camp! I highly recommend this home if you are looking for a place in the area.
