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!

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!

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!!
