Anniversary Trip

We loved our stay in this charming house! Communication was friendly and helpful. The check in process was so easy - and we appreciated that so much after several travel delays and arriving to the property at 3am! Would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful, Cozy House

We throughly enjoyed our stay. An older home that has been updated. Welcoming and perfectly appointed with comfortable beds and plenty of fresh linens. The coffee bar was a nice touch. Parking was a bit of an issue, but it was fine. We have an SUV and had no problems. Thank you for hosting us, we had a great time.

Very Nice House, Needs a Couple of Minor Tweaks

This 1924 bungalow was really spacious and quaint for the 5 of us. The master bedroom was nice, great big walk in closet, and the master bathroom was spacious with a large shower chamber. The living room was large with a huge sofa that 2 could easily sleep on. The kitchen was well equipped and had plenty of starter coffee pods and teas. The dishwasher was a good touch, made it easy to keep up with dish demands. The owner was very helpful with a few questions and an issue that popped up later. The tweaks we thought would really help are: 1- A small shower curtain for the master bathroom. It's open and the nice pine floors get wet, no matter how much you try to aim the shower head away and far back. 2- A second curtain for the tub in the other bathroom, to prevent water from from the shower from falling outside the old style tub and on the floor. 3- A curtain or blinds for the big kitchen window. The morning heat is not too bad but the afternoon is like an oven. Terrible when you're trying to cook. The issue I'm referring to is a shared driveway with the house to the left. We respected the rules and never left our vehicle in the driveway, but the miscreants who moved in recently did not! They left a car and it blocked us from leaving for a visit with family in Apopka. We spent over an hour on the phone with the owner and local police. They finally came out and moved the car but it was a major hassle. I understand that's never happened in 10 years, but it happened to us.

Great Getaway Home

We enjoyed our stay at this adorable little home - near it all. It was immaculate and well appointed. My only issue was the parking in the back (while quite large) was quite difficult to get into and out of in my Hyundai Tuscon, trying not to hit the neighbors house or scratch my car.

Perfect place to stay

We were back for a longer stay this time, and it was just as wonderful as it always is. The host always responds quickly to any questions. I had to bring my work with me and my daughter had to bring her schoolwork. The internet works great and there is plenty of space to work at the table for both of us. We are still able to separate and get our tasks done.

Classy, quiet and clean.

The house is in a quiet area, and has lots of private parking in the back. The master bath has a wonderful walk in shower, and the guest bath has a huge claw foot tub that is perfect for relaxing. The front porch is screened with porch swing and was perfect for us. The communication from the owner is also fantastic, and they are friendly and helpful. The washer and dryer are both newer, and in great condition. We used them several times which was very convenient since we stayed for a full week and our 16month old goes through a lot of laundry. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, quiet place to stay in Eustis.

Repeat visit just as wonderful as the first!

We had a family event we needed to attend, and the rental is in the perfect location. This is our second time staying here, and it was just as good as the first time. We feel very at home when we stay there. It’s convenient to everything with all of the charm one could hope for. It’s so easy to check in and check out which I appreciate and Brianna is very quick to respond to any questions. If you’re looking for a place in the Eustis/Mount Dora area, I would highly recommend this rental.

Amazing property!

The house is as amazing as it sounds and is as amazing as the pictures! The floors and the trim are gorgeous and made my heart pound with envy. We were a party of 4 and there was ample space - including dining space which was great for us! The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, utensils, and dinnerware. The keurig along with the kettle was an added bonus for me because I’m a coffee and tea fanatic. There was plenty of light and the air and the heat (it ended up getting down to the 30’s outside one night!) worked well. The claw foot tub was great to soak in, and the shower had a ton of pressure which is something I wish everyone would put in reviews because there is nothing better than a great shower at the end of the day. There is a large washer and dryer which made things great because our original stay ended up being extended. The location is perfect and downtown Eustis has some great restaurants - we loved Tillie’s and if you venture into Mount Dora. Pisces and Jeremiah’s are always a favorite of ours. We had a family emergency and the hosts were very easy to contact and were able to work with the next guests to switch days around so we could stay a bit longer which helped us out immensely. I was really impressed that they went above and beyond and if you’re the guest that was willing to switch with us, thank you! They made what was a tough situation for us so much better.

About the host

Hosted by Brianna Chavis

Hi! I'm Brianna. My husband, Chais, and I would love the opportunity to host you and your group. We love traveling, boating, new adventures, and family time. Asher is our little guy and the light of our life. If you have any questions about the property, please reach out, we’re happy to help and want you to have a wonderful stay!

Why they chose this property

Where to begin! This 1924 bungalow has all of the original charm and yet the convenience of today's world. We bought this home in 2013 and with a full renovation, and a LOT of love, it was our home for many years. No one saw any potential in the house at the time, and it was an uphill battle at times to make it work, but it's been such a wonderful house and is now filled with even more love as it hosts families around the world in our quaint town.
