We had such a wonderful stay! The house is very comfortable and very clean. The hosts were attentive although we didn’t need anything because all the details were already considered for us. The sunrises were spectacular and we very much enjoyed all the bird and wildlife viewing on the lake. The house is conveniently located to many area attractions including Tampa and its beaches. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

The home is a treat. It is well stocked so you don’t have to run to the store after a long trip to Lakeland. The hosts are so helpful, if needed, and gave great local tips. I feel like we’d be friends if I lived in Fla! We saw the big gator(Alli G is what we call him), sat by the pool in comfy furniture, played chess and corn hole, contemplated pickleball and loved the frother so much I ordered the same coffee maker on the third day! I really can’t list all the amenities…it’s everything you need and more. The home was spotless and easy to keep straight. I loved walking through the front door and having an unobscured view of the water. This is truly one of the best home rentals. I would stay here anytime I’m back in the area. Book and enjoy with confidence.
