Gorgeous property on a spring creek !! The yard and home were very clean! Even during a hot Florida August vacation, we found cooler times to enjoy the screened in balcony overlooking the peaceful, beautiful water, and listening to nature. Be sure to bring beach towels !!, paper towels, laundry soap and dryer sheets, of course sun screen, bug spray, kleenex and a couch blanket if you want these things for your stay.

This house is amazing. We lit a fire outback and let the kids swim right in the spring. At night, we played the board games that were provided upstairs and went downstairs to utilize the ping-pong table and darts. weeki Wachee Springs State Park is just down the road where we rented a cabana for the day to hang out in the lazy river and see the mermaid show. Bring your bug repellent for the mosquitoes and keep reapplying as this was the only disadvantage of the trip because they don’t spray the area for mosquitoes.

Mother’s Day weekend with my girls
I had a great time made them their favorite dinner . It was a beautiful Mother’s Day weekend. The only thing we got bit bad by mosquitos, Even with all the sprays. But the water front property was really nice. ThankYou for sharing your home.
