About this property

LAKEFRONT - kayak, fish, paddleboard, canoe, HOT TUB, golf -near Orlando

Rare LAKEFRONT cottage with 2 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, large 4 person canoe, hot tub and 2 adult size bikes. Cottage fully renovated in 2019: new furnishings, new Serta Black mattresses, new dock and boathouse, excellent air conditioning, full wrap-around screened lanai for balmy breezy evenings. Direct access to a spring-fed lake means your vacation starts in your backyard! Note: max guests = 4; No Guests of Guests (meaning, no local visitors even for day use unless with explicit approval by owners).

Imagine taking a quiet paddle around a serene lake with bald eagles and pelicans diving for fish; herons and egrets gracefully stalking the shorelines; canoeing at dusk casting for dinner; roasting S'mores at your lakeside fire pit; playing cards/board games or reading a book in a wrap-around screened lanai with lakeview. This is more than a "lake view" - this is FAMILY FUN lake enjoyment without the risky crowds and need for social distancing. Owner is RN and fastidious about disinfection! Additionally, new washer/dryer have SANITIZE settings.

YOU can have a dream vacation - close to Orlando attractions such as Universal Studios, Disney Parks, LEGOLAND, I-Drive shopping, Clermont Olympic Training Center, cycling, world-class golfing and more. The town of Montverde is within walking distance and within Kirk Park there are 4 new pickleball courts, 2 new tennis courts and 2 lakeside parks: one on Lake Florence and the other on Lake Apopka (Truskette Park) in addition to a boat launch on to Lake Apopka.

A hidden gem is the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive and trails (check hours, currently open weekends and holidays only)-- rated 3rd nationally for birding, but other wildlife like bobcat and gators make LAWD home too.

Walking distance to Internationally acclaimed Montverde Academy - monthly/seasonal rental discount available. MANY NEW RESTAURANTS IN MONTVERDE: Cal's Kitchen (delectable Italian and pizza), Willie's BBQ, and Sweet and Sassy Place (real ice cream, homemade candies and empanadas); The View at National Clermont - a driving range (at Sanctuary Ridge Golf Course - minutes away), Plus, many wonderful restaurants in both nearby Winter Garden and downtown Clermont.

Nearby Golf: King's Ridge, Clermont National, Forest Lake and Legends Golf Courses.

CLEANING / DISINFECTION PRACTICES: The screened in wrap-around lanai means we can air everything out while we do a thorough cleaning/sanitizing.

SECURITY CAMERAS: We have one outdoor actively recording camera overlooking the front driveway towards the street that records video. There is a second outdoor actively recording camera that aims at the dock structure and kayak/paddleboard rack that records video. We use this camera to monitor the watersports equipment only (to assure equipment is secure). This camera CAN NOT view the hot tub, deck or anywhere towards the house past the beach.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The house was exactly as pictured. The hosts were super accommodating and responsive before and during our stay. We appreciated the amenities (snack basket, robes, beach towels, cooking extras, coffee supplies, hot tub, water activities, etc). The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. In February the lake activity was limited so it was perfect for enjoying the screened in porch and backyard views. Backing a boat into the driveway was a learning curve due to the decline/grade of the driveway but by day two we knew how to do it without issues. Thanks for a great getaway!

The place was fantastic! It started with great communication and had a great time. It's a nice, cozy 2 bedroom place on the waterfront with access to kayaks and canoe. Montverde is a quiet, quaint town and we rode our bikes to Willie's BBQ joint and pickleball courts. It was 10 days of bliss.

Gary and Kelly think of everything for their guests. When you walk in the door, you are immediately welcomed by a personal sign with inside info on local hotspots and attractions. Gary and Kelly are always available if you need anything and the Lakehouse was immaculate. This was our first of many visits to come.

We had a wonderful experience at this lakeside house. The paddleboards and kayaks were a real bonus, providing us with moments of relaxation and fun on the water. The location was also quite convenient, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The only downside was that the TVs were a bit old. We highly recommend it!

We had a fantastic mini vacation weekend at the Buoy Bungalow! We enjoyed the quiet lake, the local attractions and the home was perfectly located close to many historical sites. We found many activities not on our itinerary which are fun for all ages. The bedrooms and bathroom were clean and stocked with all the necessities, kitchen too! The house had everything we needed!
