  • We all had a great time. My sister-in-law and husband and daughter joined the three of us for a week of relaxation The big surprise was your very own beach on a fresh water lake. Compared to our ocean and salt water enviornment which I have lived in for more than 30 years I really never expected to enjoy the fresh water experience so much. The kids played and we had a wonderful time on the "Lake House" as we affectionately called it. SOOOO close to Disney and all of the attractions, but strangely that all became secondary to enjoying this beautiful home and ammenities. Thank you Jim & Jennifer for sharing your Lake Home with us. We especially enjoyed the beach toys and the Adirondack chairs over looking this beautiful Lake. The Kreizman Clan Eric, Kristen, & Elliott Karen, Peter and Maia Reczek

  • What a wonderful experience we had for our week on the water. Jim and Jennifer have created the most comfortable waterfront home to share. Given it's close proximity to so much Orlando has to offer, it's hard to imagine how it could have been better. We look forward to future trips to the Ross's home in the future. Thanks Jim and Jennifer.

  • While staying at the Summerport Lake House my husband and I had the time of our lives! We woke up to sweeping lake views in the morning, relaxed on the patio each afternoon and enjoyed breathless sunsets every night over the lake. The living space is perfect for entertaining, grilling, visiting with guests or relaxing. The environement is warm and inviting and makes you not want to leave. The location is a perfect "get away" but still close to theme parks and shopping within minutes. We will definitely be back!

  • This vacation home allowed my family to thoroughly enjoy everything Orlando, Fl has to offer. Not only is this lake house beautiful and quaint, it offers more than plenty to do including swimming off the beach area, fishing off the deck, and watching fireworks and boaters from the balcony. When you decide to go about the area you are a quick drive to just about everything like Disney and Universal, and there are many upscale areas to shop and dine. Without a doubt my family plans to make this an annual trip!!!
