Great stay for a family of 4 with two young kids. We used this home as our base to explore Day trips to Kelly Springs, Silver Springs, Juniper Springs, Blue Springs,Mt. Dora, and the WEC. The home is as advertised and has a great southern charm. The decorations inside are creative. The host was very attentive pre, during, and post stay. We loved the welcome package as well. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Would stay here again.

Maribel was a wonderful and super attentive host. She left a sweet welcome package for my stay. The house was clean and well appointed. The neighborhood was adorable and quiet. It is a small place but good use of space for 2 bedrooms and 2 bath. It was a little cozy for 3 adults but perfect for a couple or a family!

My stay there for a few days was great. Family enjoyed it as well. Nice quiet neighborhood. Didn’t have a chance to hang out outside. The front steps are uneven but maybe that’s not a problem in Florida. The water pressure in showers wasn’t that great, but functional.

Maribel was very sweet. She responded quickly to questions before and during our stay. We received a list of area restaurants and activities in the area which was helpful. The cottage was cozy and inviting. We were so happy our beagle pups could stay with us. Our 25 pound dogs could squeeze through the fence but it would be a perfect fenced in yard for larger dogs. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and just a few minute walk to a park. I had to work from the cottage and the internet was fast and reliable. We would definitely stay here again.

This home was absolutely perfect! Super cute and wonderfully decorated — it instantly felt like home. Everything was spotless, and the fenced-in property gave us both privacy and peace of mind. The location is right in the heart of Umatilla, which made it easy to get around and enjoy the area. Communication with the host was a 10/10 — quick, friendly, and so accommodating. I can’t recommend this place enough and would definitely stay here again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage was beautiful, spotlessly clean, and full of charm. It was the perfect size for two people—cozy yet spacious enough to feel completely comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, and the towels and linens were soft and high quality. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Maribel was a gracious and thoughtful host, even leaving us a bottle of wine and a lovely note to welcome us. Highly recommended!

Maribel was an amazing host. She answered any of my concerns speedily. The cottage is very cozy and homey. We truly enjoyed our time there. If we plan to take another trip to Florida, we would not hesitate to book it with her. It was worth every moment there. Wished we could have stayed longer.Five stars are not enough for her service. All the stars in the sky are not enough for her!

Quick trip for Leesburg Bike Fest

We came down to meet friends at Leesburg Bike Fest who were renting a different VRBO down the street!Cottage was exactly as the photos show. Great location for the bike fest. Lots to do nearby.Maribel had a bottle of wine for us and was AMAZING at communicating before, during and after our stay!We arrived late at night, but she had lights on for us, so getting in was very easy! She allowed us to put our motorcycle trailer in the backyard and were able to put the bikes in the front yard with pavers! Felt very secure and safeEl Marie's pizza was phenomenal and arrived SO fast!! Definitely would recommend that place!!Checking out was SO easy! And again communication about that was awesome! Would definitely book here again!
