We absolutely loved our stay. The house was beautiful, extremely clean, and very comfortable. The beds were especially comfortable, and we were able to rest really well. Most of all, we loved how peaceful and quiet the area was.Having direct access to the water and a dock for our boat was perfect and very convenient. The hosts were wonderful, very attentive, and always made sure we had everything we needed. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. We highly recommend this beautiful home! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a great family stay at Anchor Down while my daughter was training up the road at IMG Academy (super convenient for IMG). My other daughter loved spending time in the pool and using the kayaks on the canal. Very quiet setting and house has been redone to a lovely standard. Kids loved the games in the garage (and so did the adults).
