Cant believe how cool and unique the hose is. Thanks so much. See you next year
We had a wonderful stay at this cabin getaway!! Nicely tucked away, private and very clean!! The picture’s definitely did not do it justice….we will be staying again on our next trip back!! Thank you
The listing never described that the retreat was a mile down a dirt road. The outside of the property was NOT main.tained. The spiders should be on the outside not on the inside - pest control is a MUST at this location. The deck could use a good power washing. The gutters which all had covers also need to be cleaned. If going outside to venture on the premises, you will need shoes or boots and long pants. The windows, wood floor and refrigerator weren't cleaned properly. The grill had not been emptied from previous occupants. The woodchairs by the pond are dry rotted and unsafe to sit in. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT
The house was exactly as shown. We were comfortable talking around the table and in the family/living room. The kitchen was well stocked. We loved seeing the goats and were treated by a hummingbird visit our first morning. We enjoyed a walk down the dirt road and loved the trees.
Jacaru is a unique house in an old Florida setting. By old Florida I mean it is really way back in the woods and gives you a feeling of old Florida, the real Florida (not the Disney/Orlando) version) is about. The natural setting is wonderful and the house is truly unique, spacious and well-maintained. Host Melissa is one of the nicest, most responsive and helpful hosts I have ever worked with. She will do whatever she can to help. This property was a wonderful place for our family of nine to stay and extended family of 14 to gather to celebrate a Christmas Family Reunion. Wonderful memories were created there!
Melissa was great to work with and the house was clean and cozy to be as big as it is! We loved how secluded it is as well!
The property was beautiful, beds comfortable, we had a great time!
This was a lovely home for our mini vacation to visit the springs. Property is as described and lots of room to relax with friends and family. Kitchen has everything you need to cook meals. Even has a friendly peacock that visits in the morning!
A great property for family groups to stay! Room to roam around and fun fishing in the pond! Quiet, private location adds to the relaxation and enjoyment. Outdoor deck and seating around the property could use some cleaning. Overall we were pleased with our stay.
Had a great time.
