    We loved the location and the solitude. The house and grounds are extremely well taken care of. If you love animals like we do, then you will definitely love Ruby, Precious and Abigale the resident cat, dog and deer!

    We had an awesome time in Cedar Key! Diana was so nice and the property was beautiful! Days on the water and quiet nights under the moon were exactly what we were looking for! We will definitely stay again!

    Property was clean and everything functioned as it should. Property is aging, and it shows. Pool table had balls missing, carpet in the main room was quite stained. Shower in the master bathroom doesn’t work properly. Lots of noise from the airport near by. It’s got lots of space, and close proximity to very nice courses.

    Wonderful choice for large groups with lots of activities from hot tub, swimming pool, pool table and ping-pong. Couple of bedrooms had a hard time staying warm as we were here in January. Lots of minor floor height changes not great for elderly. Overall it worked great for us.

    This was an excellent value and perfect location for a quiet holiday in palm springs. Plenty of space in a quiet neighborhood, close to everything. We were able to cook and enjoy the pool and outdoor spaces. I would absolutely book again. Communication was great and glad to have had the option for our Xmas get away.
