Quaint, Fresh & Clean

My wife and I came for a weekend in Tavares.This accommodation was pretty near perfect for our needs.Really liked being able to make a ten minute walk to the lakefront parks & restaurants.We also enjoyed just sitting just outside the cottage in the shade of the Spanish Moss dapped oak trees and watching the boats on the canal.A truly enjoyable weekend for us.Hope to come back again.
