This was a perfect place and location for our trip to Florida. Easy access to Crystal River, Iverness, Homosassis. It is a little dark/dated, not a lot of natural light, but the outdoor furniture has you out in the sunshine. Local ordinances prohibited us from having a grill- still great value and great hosts. Would recommend

Everything was great! Location made it easy for us to visit all of the places we wanted. My only suggestion would be to have ceiling fans put in the bedrooms! It would save you on A/C. But it was lovely!
