The kitchen was awesome. The property is very far off the main road, further than expected and literally surrounded by mobile homes and ends on a dirt road. All that being said, it was peaceful. I rented the property mainly for the heated pool, which was not heated when we arrived expecting to relax in the pool. It wasn’t turned on to heat until the next day-which took quite a while. The house is beautiful and spacious. There was an unexpected A/C technician appt (pre-scheduled) for the early morning on our first day-a little inconvenience plus he needed to go into the attic, and asked us where it was-we had no idea. It was a little strange but we managed. My son visited with his dog so I was charged an unexpected “pet fee” even though the amenities expressed “pet friendly”. That was a misunderstanding on my part. Instacart will deliver but it’s hard to find the house and some packages were left next door-so be specific if ordering. We probably wont chooses this property again, but I recommend it for others. Wish I had known a bit more before paying so much-so that’s why I’m letting others know. Also checked out 15 mins or so late, so I was charged another fee for that-I understand the policy, however I was told I was preventing the cleaning crew from getting in-however no one was there or even on the long road as we left. The host was always quick to respond to any questions!

The property was beautiful. The pool was amazing. We loved getting to come back to the quiet seclusion of the area after spending a day in the hustle of orlando or tampa to swim and relax in the quiet.

Nice space for quiet stay but fairly close to many activities

We enjoyed our time in this house. It is quiet and remote, but close to activities in Lakeland, Auburndale, and Winter Haven. We especially enjoyed the Frank Lloyd Wright tour at Florida Southern College and Bonnet Springs Park. We stayed here for a month as a midpoint to visit friends on both the east and west coast. It worked well, but Florida traffic is what it is, so if you plan that, or Disney, you are wise to allow ample time. This house is clean and stocked with anything you may need. There is a lovely pool and some playground equipment for children (although we are 2 seniors, so only used the pool). We had no problems to address but the owner promptly responded to any communication. A pleasant stay!

Nice and quiet

Our vacation included trips to some big attractions and this house was the perfect place to unwind and relax. Bedrooms were nice, kitchen was great, and the roomy living room furniture was a nice bonus. The best part was that pool though! The waterfall and lights for night swimming made for perfect family time. My only notes for improvement would be that the master bed seemed to slope to the middle a bit (maybe a support issue?), there weren’t any lamps by the bedside for evening reading, and end tables in the living area would be a nice addition. All in all a great spot for families, and certainly made for a nice vacation for ours.

Out of the way place

Overall the house was clean and comfortable. Quite a drive just to get from the house to I-4. If you want to get away from everything for a while, this is the place to stay! The dishwasher was very handy! Washer/dryer were easy to use. The pool can be heated upon request.

Nice vacation rental

Very nice rental house with a great kitchen set up with plenty of room for the 6 of us. Strangely it was too cold to enjoy the pool since the temperature was only in the 50's. Country living, but close drive to most anything for shopping and attractions. Would stay again.
