Summary: We truly had the most marvelous stay at Ms Myra’s!My husband and I, along with my parents and their traveling friends, stayed in the lower portion of her house for an entire week.The home is magnificent and offered us an assortment of fun activities such as walking the pastures to the lake and trees, having a nice fire under the pergola, cooling down and enjoying the screened in porch for meals, coffee and games.The beds were perfect and the kitchen & bathrooms were spotless as were all the floors and surfaces.This was one of the most unique VRBO experiences I’ve had and I am so glad to have been able to share with my parents.Ms Myra Tucker is such a wonderful host. We have all made a new connection and feel blessed to have met her. She will always have a special place in our hearts and we will definitely be back to stay again.

Summary: There is probably no better place to stay in central Florida. You'll fall in Love with not only the location and accomidations but with Ms. Myra herself the owner of the property. We loved the spaciousness of the living space with the ample bedrooms and bathrooms. We were so lucky to use the place when we did as it was all decorated for Christmas. Really added to the festiveness for our gathering of family members. I can't say enough good about Ms. Myra! She will make sure your visit is memorable. 10 Star

Summary: This house was beautiful! Ms. Myra is a friendly, responsive host.I was there around Christmas time and it felt like walking into a hallmark movie. Excellent decor!Plenty of space for hosting dinners or brunch!It was far out in the country, but still close enough to stores that grocery shopping was easy.

Brad O. Nov 14, 2024 12:33:15 AM

Summary: This property is e lower level, around 4600 sq ft, of a huge house. The owner, Ms Myra, lives on the upper level.It is a fantastic place for a party with many tables and chairs, plus sofas, love seats and recliners. The kitchen area is also large with a lot of counter space for food service. Ms Myra is an excellent host and very accommodating to special requests. Excellent facility!!

Summary: Ms. Myra is an excellent host and very conscientious to making sure everything is satisfactory. Property is very well maintained and large enough for large groups inside and outside. I will be back!

Summary: My wife and i stayed for our 10 year anniversary. Not 1 bad thing thing to say. Ms. Myra was very kind and there for anything we needed. We would definitely recommend for any getaway or event. Very clean tons of space and super relaxing. Thanks again Ms. Myra. See u next time.

Patrick Z. Feb 26, 2024 04:19:27 AM

Summary: This is a huge house off the grid (~30 minutes to Eustis) on 250 acres of pasture at the end of a sandy dirt road! You rent the first floor which has a huge open area with two living room sets, 6 dining tables, and a large kitchen which was well equipped. The very large screened in porch also has several seating areas, then there is a large outdoor pergola, so plenty of space for a LARGE group (50+) to celebrate a special occasion. There are 5 bedrooms with 6 twins and two small queen/double beds. Some of the twins were a little ‘squeaky’ trundle beds. There were four bathrooms, 2 with big open showers (though the water made a mess on the floor with each shower). Decor was well kept, country style. The washer and dryer were nice to have. There is a large grill, and a large screened in pool with a “hot tub” but not heated so too cold to use in February (this was our biggest disappointment and this fact should be added to the VRBO description). Owner was super nice and helpful, and lives upstairs. Sandhill cranes and cattle in the pasture were also fun to see. No lake access yet. Overall very nice place to stay for the eight family members we had…

Summary: We had a great time. The kids loved it. Great birthday party for my brother! Sweet Lady manages the place. Awesome!!

Derrick H. Aug 11, 2023 11:53:26 PM

Summary: I can’t wait to come back here, it felt like we were Royalty! There is so much space inside and out that you can do just about anything you want/need. The huge screened porch area with the lounge sofas and grill was a highlight. The pool is also enclosed which is a huge plus. We didn’t get to fish but the lake was beautiful and there is nothing like seeing water and trees in the morning. The inside feels very luxurious but also comfortable with tons of space to spread out, and it was extremely clean despite all of the space and rooms. We are considering using this spot again for an event. Thanks Ms Myra!
