Beautiful and comfortable inside and out!

House was clean, adorable decorations /nicely renovated, well provisvioned, and beds super comfortable. Several porch areas. Nice vibe, fire pit, darts, ring toss, cute decor outside is the best (we enjoy some outside evening time). Perfect spot for morning coffee in the rocking chairs on the front porch.Owners were very kind and plenty of privacy. Lots of big oak covered drives in the area. Beautiful location. Shops and restaurants nearby.We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely stay here again if in the area and available! Thank you, owners!

Great place in a rural setting but close to the Villages.

Our family of 5 recently stayed at The Country Porch for a visit with my parents who live in the Villages. It was our first VRBO rental, and it was great. Very clean. Well stocked with all that you need, including condiments. Was just a short drive to my parents, and also food stores and restaurants. The owners were actually on site during our stay and they were so friendly. My only regret is not having more down time to just spend there in the spacious yard, which had horseshoes, lawn darts, golf clubs, rocking chairs and more. It is in a rural quiet area. Overall great stay and my parents are recommending it to any family or friends that plan to visit in the future.

A Most Relaxing Stay

We stayed at The Country Porch for 2 weeks in late March. It was a great vacation. The house was super clean, nicely decorated and had everything we needed. It was roomy but still felt cozy. We were very comfortable The grounds are nicely kept, and the various plantings are very pleasing. There are so many areas to relax while sipping a cup of coffee or a glass of wine - the screened porch in the back, the backyard to enjoy the sun, the rocking chairs on the front porch, and the very private side yard with 2 lawn chairs and a table in between. The location is super. Definitely in the country surrounded by homes with large lots. It was not unusual to see farm animals during some of our walks. Though in the peaceful countryside, it is only minutes to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. Eddie & Tina were great hosts. They provided informational materials on the area and recommended things to see and do. They responded immediately at the time of booking and when we had a couple of requests during our stay. We highly recommend The Country Porch for a vacation stay. If we travel to that area again, we will definitely stay again if it is available. J & S Puhek

Beautiful Home & Property!

My family of 5 spent 4 nights here, and enjoyed every moment! The house is beautiful and the bedrooms & beds were very comfortable! They have thought of just about everything to make your stay a great one! The kitchen has a lot of utensils, dishes, mixing bowls, and a variety of pots and pans for cooking/baking, as well as a lot of spices, dry goods & condiments. There was a cabinet of board games, as well as outdoor activities like horseshoes, mini golf set, darts, etc., and even better; the yard is huge!! The owners checked in with us to make sure that we had everything we needed, and knowing we could contact them at anytime via the Ring doorbell or by phone was nice as well. We enjoyed a lot of our time relaxing in the rocking chairs on the front porch, drinking our coffee and watching all of the different birds stop by the feeders to eat. We were here at the beginning of June and the days were very warm, but even at the hottest part of the day we were able to sit on the porch and feel the breeze and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature 😁 You will feel like you are in the middle of the countryside, all while being just a few minutes away from stores & restaurants. We would definitely highly recommend this house to anyone who will be travelling to this area!
