Lake Front Zen Casa

It was so uniquely decorated and so comfortable. It felt like a tropical cottage.I loved looking outside each moring to see what native birds there were to see, orthe turtles sunning themselves.

This was the perfect spot for me to get away and get in touch with the beauty in nature and myself. I spent a long weekend here and made art, sat by the water and had a peaceful night lounging in the hot tub.Marissa makes it feel like you are house-sitting for your best friend rather than staying in a VRBO.The sunrises and sunsets are gorgeous, the evenings clear and full of stars.Everything inside was easy to use and find when I needed it. I hope to come back very soon!

Roomie house with full kitchen and dishwasher. Lakeview from the deck, especially nice when in the hot tub!

The house certainly did the job but that's all. The outside is a bit shabby. The grass was over ankle high. Gutters were in disrepair and dripping on us as we entered. There is a large philodendron obscuring part of the entrance. Inside, the marbled kitchen countertop is great! The surfaces however are cluttered with this owners possessions. Salt lamps (5 in total around the house that you can't turn off), oil diffuser, sculptures, etc leaving very little space for our own things or groceries. Lighting in the house is minimal. I found it hard to read a book in the low lighting. The bathroom has 5 bulbs. Only one was working making it difficult to see. There isn't really a place in the bedroom for your things. Our open suitcase just sat on the floor. The couch was comfortable. The live edge table, beautiful. There were just little things that weren't up to expectation. The kitchen faucet was broken, a kitchen cupboard handles missing, bedroom to hall floor is uneven.

Cozy little romantic bungalow on a nature-filled Florida lake. Definitely has an 'old florida' feel combined with an international travel vibe. The decor is super fun and the lighting just sets the mood well for a romantic getaway. There were plenty of amenities and the mattress was very comfy. I loved the combination of nature and art that Marissa has curated. She was quick to communicate with us and check in/check out was easy. Thanks for a wonderful stay! We put this down on our 'best trip ever' list.
