Nestled amongst the trees on the peaceful Withlacoochee River is Elegant Escape, a 1-bedroom/1-loft bedroom/1-bathroom waterfront townhouse that is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation. It is just a mile from Rainbow River and is ideally suited to guests who want to golf, fish, bike, or enjoy water sports, as well as those who want to nature watch. Only 20 miles to WEC (World Equestrian Center). Includes two parking spaces and a boat slip. Boat launch across the river. The space NOTE: The townhouse is ~900 square feet. Being a typical townhouse, it shares walls with neighbors on both sides and the back patios are directly next to the neighbors, so you’ll see/hear them. The unit also shares community grounds and amenities such as the parking lot and the docks directly behind the building. There are no canoes/kayaks included. Walking into the front door, you'll see a long hallway that leads to the kitchen and living room, as well as a side hallway off to the left that leads to the laundry closet, the master bedroom, and the bathroom. The laundry closet has a small washer/dryer combo unit that's perfect for washing a couple outfits. In the master bedroom, enjoy a comfortable queen size bed with Simmons Beautyrest mattress, good quality bedding, double closet, two nightstands, chest of drawers, ceiling fan, and a sliding glass door to access the private patio. The bathroom next to the master includes a large shower. Going back to the main hall, there's an opening into the u-shaped kitchen. The kitchen overlooks the living room, back patio, and Withlacoochee River and has new stainless steel appliances including refrigerator, stove, microwave, and dishwasher. It also comes equipped with all the basic cooking and dining equipment you'll need and features an 8-foot countertop that overhangs on the living room side and has four bar stools. NOTE: There is no dining table anywhere in the unit, however there is a patio table with 4 chairs in the screened in porch in addition to the bar seating by the kitchen. Past the kitchen is the airy living room that opens onto the screened in porch through nearly full width double sliding glass doors and features gorgeous views of the river and its banks. Most of the living room is two stories, thanks to the loft bedroom above, and it is has a ceiling fan, two side chairs, three-person sofa, coffee table, one side table, and an LCD with television programming service. Going up the stairs, you'll pass the thermostat at the landing then continue on to find a spacious loft bedroom with queen size bed featuring a Simmons Beautyrest mattress, good quality bedding, ceiling fan, two nightstands with lamps, chest of drawers, and a walk-in closet. This space has a lovely view out the sliding glass back doors as well as of the living room. Note: There is no door for this bedroom. It is open to the stairs and the living room below, so it provides very little privacy. Guest access The entire townhouse and its patios are available for your use, as well as two parking spaces and one boat slip. Other things to note This is a quiet, peaceful spot and most of the townhouse association's owners are retirees who enjoy that peace and quiet, so loud groups and/or parties are not a good fit. It is perfect for relaxing and nature watching as well as fishing and for being convenient to lots of other activities such as golf and water sports. Regarding the cleaning fee, for most stays, there are 5 sets of towels, three sets of sheets, three mattress pads, three blankets/quilts, two shams, and various kitchen towels, throw blankets, and rugs/mats that have to be laundered off site. This is in addition to cleaning the entire home, which usually takes about four hours if left in good condition. The cleaning fee only helps to offset some of this expense, not cover it completely. Thank you for supporting clean and hygienic rentals.
