Lovely, updated, historic home in great location.

We really enjoyed our 1 week stay here. The location is perfect - walk to Rollins (Go Tars!) and the Rollins baseball field, walk to Park Avenue shops and restaurants. The house is lovely, and nicely decorated. With the fully equipped kitchen, we were able to host some wonderful dinners for our family and friends in the area. One of the best rentals we’ve stayed at and dog friendly, too!

Charm and location

We stayed 4 nights. Hosts responded quickly and were so friendly. We walked daily around the neighborhood, along the lake trails, and through Rollins College. We could have walked to lots of shopping and lots of restaurants if it wasn’t Florida hot and we’d melt! It’s about 30 minutes to the Disney parks and the local museums are very close. Loved the house and would stay again.

Great location!

Often at rentals you get the feeling that the rental is stocked with “hand me downs” from the owner’s primary residence, which I get. Not so with this VRBO. The good quality linens, towels and household items really elevate the experience. It is nicely decorated and in a great location. Foxtail or Barnie’s coffee nearby, lots of great restaurants or Publix/Trader Joe’s/Whole Foods within five miles if you want to do your own cooking. We had a great stay. Highly recommend!

Born and raised in Turin (Italy), I have been a Florida resident since 1996. Wife, mother of two daughters, pet mom of 2 dogs and 4 hens. I love my family, my food and my friends all in this particular order. Home is my happy place. I hope you will enjoy your stay in this little gem and feel at home while away from your home.

Why they chose this property

This little cottage stole my heart. Winter Park provides a more to human scale living than any other larger city in Florida. The charming downtown with its avenues, boulevards and green spaces offers a wide array of unique shops, restaurants and cafes. Walkable spaces and sense of community permeates the lovely atmosphere.

What makes this property unique

The proximity to the downtown, the historic neighborhood, the diverse architecture, the abundant tree canopy and old brick streets are just the perfect setting for this little cozy cottage. The small yet comfortable and renovated spaces, the many windows and natural light, the shaded backyard are only some of the perks.
