A lovely lakeside location
A lovely lakeside location in a spacious characterful home with all modern conveniences. The deck is a great place to relax and watch the sunset/ sunrise but remember to pack some bug repellent/ citronella candles! Shops and restaurants are within a short drive. Nice experience - thank you!

Beautiful Lake House
The rental was terrific, and the owner was very easy to communicate with. Beautiful sunsets on the beach and deck, and a great fire pit on the beach. The house was roomy and cozy, and the beds were comfortable. Overall I think it was great for a quick getaway or a longer stay. Highly recommended!

Another Great Stay!
We stayed here in late 2021. When we needed to come back into the area, I specifically looked for this place again and luckily it was available. Large beach, giant deck, and spacious home make for a very enjoyable experience for larger groups. We will miss it!

Perfect Central Florida getaway
An awesome place! Yes, an older house, but super clean and stocked up with everything you need! We spent most of the time kayaking and swimming in a beautiful, almost private-like lake. Fire on a beach, grilling, just enjoying the outdoors - what else is needed for a perfect vacation?! Will definitely be back soon!

Relaxing getaway
My family and I had a wonderful time at this lakehouse. We enjoyed swimming in the lake, relaxing on the beach, and playing a few of the many games in the den. This house had everything we needed and more, and the close proximity to the lake was perfect. The gorgeous sunset on our first night was just as pictured in the listing - if not better. We hope to book again soon.

Such a beautiful house. Love the old Florida feel with the furniture in home. So cozy and comfortable. Amazing views on the lake and amole seating to enjoy it. Love the beach for our 1.5 year old to test the waters and play in the sand. Great proximity to stores and things to do. We had an amazing time and highly recommend this home!

We loved our stay!
We loved our stay. It's one of those houses you can just imagine all grown kids coming home for a holiday and all their kids running and playing outside. A good Ole Norman Rockwell painting. We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck and relaxing. The shower in the main bathroom is a little short. If you're over 6' you may want to shower upstairs. Several different rooms available for groups of people to play games, mingle or just read quietly.

Hidden gem
My best friend and I took our 3 kids and our moms here for Spring Break. We had such a great time, especially kayaking on the lake. It was so nice to wake up, have coffee and go kayaking. We truly enjoyed ourselves. The kids loved the board games, especially twister. You literally just need to pack your clothes, bathing suit, sun screen and stop at Walmart which is 5 minutes away for groceries, I'd also pick up a few rolls of toilet paper and paper towels. Bring a flash light or two because it does get very dark there. Everything else you need is there!!

Perfect, Peaceful "get-of-town" Long Weekend!
Exactly as described & then some! Completely got to disconnect & unwind. Stayed 3 nights & didn't want to leave (already wondering when we can go again)! Was just the 2 of us & felt like we were in an enormous, yet very cozy & ever so quaint home! I wasn't 100% how much privacy on lake to expect, reading it was in front of the house, across a small dirt passage - but it's basically part of the front yard & felt 100% private walking over there (after rolling out of bed holding coffee or an adult beverage). You pass 1 gorgeous/newer house on the little passage, driving to this Old Florida Rare Gem Home & I'd assumed we'd be seeing them as everyone shares the lake - but not once & even if did - the private beach/tree deck area is still far away enough "just a wave" would have sufficed. Every time of day was perfect there & felt like we weren't even in FL anymore (aside from the sun). I way over packed on essentials not needed (just an fyi)...they have tupperware to store food in, common spices, every type of glass /plate - everything needed in a kitchen all set up (& neatly labeled cabinets/drawers so you aren't hunting). Also have Keurig coffee maker & a regular pot coffee maker - brought everything from own sponge, salt, aluminum foil, storage bags, garbage bags, can opener - etc. etc & didn't need to have packed any of that...(nice to know for our next time, as will make packing a cinch)! Only left the home 1 evening try the fried chicken I'd read a review about in town (...and was awesome). Grilled the other 2 nights, husband opted to use the charcoal grill (as they are side by side) as we only have propane at home & the charcoal seemed "fitting". Nice grill lighting on the trees too - so cooking was a breeze. Brought our own charcoal & lighter fluid (but learned didn't need that when got there too) - although owner had already said they aren't positive of levels of propane or charcoal there - as each guest may or may not use & likely leave some left overs for the next guest (only reason we didn't leave our bug spray or charcoal - as literally grabbed our only stash off our own porch as think we have more bugs in South FL, than they do up there - as bugs were not an issue for us (perhaps time of year). Everything was pristine clean, (& didn't need all the toilet paper I packed either as well stocked bathrooms too). Just pack up & just go...doesn't matter what you pack as won't see anyone (unless you really want to). Can't wait to return!
