Space was exactly as pictured. Easy self check in. Everything in the home was organized and accessible. Kitchen well stocked. Nice touches upon arrival as the host provided snacks and bottled water. We would stay here again when back in central Florida. Plenty of restaurants and easy access to stores and surrounding neighborhoods. Appreciated the quick responses to the few questions we did have about the property. Look forward to another stay at Dora’s Haven. Thank you!
