We were impressed by the photos of the house and area but were pleasantly surprised to find the house even nicer than those images. The town this property is in, Lake Panasoffkee, is a quiet community, what one might call “The other Florida” free from crowds and traffic.
We were completely comfortable during our stay and felt the owners truly had focused on the needs of the renter. It was great having two full baths, a beautiful sunporch, and a well-equipped kitchen. There were many nice touches throughout.
One of the other highlights, though, was living right on a canal, immediately adjacent to the lake. We saw more wildlife here than in a national wildlife refuge nearby: anhingas, herons, hawks, ibises and a turtle made their appearances. On several nights, we even heard a barred owl. This is a wonderful, peaceful place for nature observers!
