About this property

Lovely Lake Balboa house with a front-row-seat for the lake!

"An absolutely gorgeous location! A front row seat on the biggest and best lake in the Village."

Sleeps 8. Lots of space for golf groups or a family getaway.

Grab one of our kayaks and tour the vastness of Lake Balboa. Or relax with a refreshment on the dock or the seaside patio and watch the pontoon boats glide by. Or enjoy our bright, beautiful sunroom with a wide view of the lake.

As the sun sinks low, sink into a cozy couch and watch your favorite shows, or read a good book. Each bedroom has a TV, so you can relax and watch your favorite shows all snuggled up in bed.

Then cook up a feast in our fully-stocked kitchen!

Affordable luxury at its best.

Just minutes from the Balboa Marina and the popular Sunset Grill and Dulce Vita Italian Restaurant--and now we have a Domino's nearby.

And don't forget, you can rent a pontoon boat from the marina and dock it at Serenity at the Lake 2!

This house is AMAZING! If you are considering this house book it! It has everything we needed and more to make our vacation so relaxing and fun. You can walk down stone steps into beautiful Lake Balboa. The water is so clean and clear and the outside setup is wonderful with beautiful sunsets. The kitchen has everything and so many games to play at night. This will be the only house we will ever stay at in HSV. The hosts were so great to communicate with.

We had a wonderful stay. This is truly the nicest rental we have stayed at using VRBO. Immaculate and tastefully done. Well equipped with everything we needed. The beds were so comfortable! Plenty of furniture inside and out to relax and enjoy the views. The owners are very responsive and happy to help you. Definitely would book here again.

Our week at this property was wonderful! Everything was clean and in excellent condition. The hosts were very helpful and answered all of our questions promptly. The neighborhood is peaceful and the view out over the Lake is great. The grandkids were a bit too young to enjoy them, but the property has 3 kayaks available. Easy to book the local golf courses and there are 8 to choose from. We hope to return if we can!

Wow! What a perfect VRBO! It has everything! We cooked many meals, and the kitchen has EVERYTHING you may need. The owner supplied so many little extras we appreciated so much - kcups, welcome snacks, spices and oils for cooking, extra ice bags for coolers, plenty of toilet paper/paper towels/trash bags, beach towels for swimming in the beautiful lake right off the dock, and all sizes of life vests. The house is pristine. The beds were super comfy, and I loved the sunroom. I cannot recommend it enough. The hosts were lovely and check-in/out very smooth. We will be back!

We had a lovely time. House is clean and well stocked. A library of books to choose from, perfect for reading in the sunroom. Kayaks with many different sizes of lifejackets. The swing on the dock was shaded in the afternoon, perfect for lounging while the kids jumped off the dock. The view from inside the house and from the back yard is amazing! Hosts left a basket of snacks and bottle of wine for check-in. Plenty of towels. Very reasonable check-out list. Load and start dishwasher and take out the trash. That’s it. Communication was good. We had an amazing stay and hope to come back.

Best place we’ve stayed in the village. So much attention to detail. Thank you for the snacks, wine, soft tissue, comfort amenities. Let’s go to the lake, right out side the door. Amazing views. Great vibes. Loved the kayaks. Rented the pontoon. Awesome!

We will be back

This is the only place I have ever stayed, and I've stayed in several, that I want to go back. The whole family enjoyed this vacation, and the kids along with the adults, were not ready to go. This is a really awesome place to stay, and you can swim right out the back door! But we had to go to the sandy beach for the kids.

About the host

Hosted by Lance and Suzanne Lefler

Host profile image
We love living in a resort town and hosting so many great people from all over the country! Our desire is to provide affordable luxury. You work hard, and when it's time for a getaway, we seek to provide a very clean, cozy, delightful destination! Even with all the activities you can engage in, there's a certain tranquility to Hot Springs Village, which is why we named our properties "Serenity."

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this house the first time we saw it (even though it needed a lot of TLC). But we love renovating, so that was a joy. We think the location is just perfect, and we are confident you will also!

What makes this property unique

Serenity at the Lake 2 is perfectly located, in the "big" part of Lake Balboa, where you can sit and watch the pontoon boats lumber by, or the ski boats. The property is flat, so there is easy access to the seaside patio and dock. And we're just a few minutes from the Marina and the popular Sunset Grill. And when the sun sets, it casts a golden glow across the whole lake, right to our shore.
