Cozy with natural beauty
Very cool cozy "tiny home" in a friendly marina with tons of natural beauty. Loved sitting on the little patio. We saw turtles and birds. One gator hung out behind the house. Off the beaten path but good road access to the area -- we had people to visit in Sanford and DeBary and this spot was right in the middle. Nice to have two dining spots within the marina. The shower was awesome!!! FYI there is no closet in the property. Washer/dryer combo was handy.
