Aileen is the best RV host, she made everything as smooth as could be and the optional kayaks were perfect for Ft Desoto. The RV is very nice and super clean, everything you’d need. We had an amazing time and will be back Aileen.

Mark was incredibly accommodating and had everything we needed. I can't recommend renting with him enough. We look forward to our next chance to repeat. We went up to itchetuknee springs, trip was amazing, the rv was fantastic with a ton of room.
