The Blue House, Lakeland FL

The two bedroom one bath house on a shady street in the older part of Lakeland was ideal for us. The pictures on VRBO are all accurate. The kitchen is well-equipped with dish washer, Keurig Coffee Maker, toaster and an electric kettle. We would gladly revisit this property.

Spacious and comfortable

I was in town for work for a couple of weeks and appreciated having space and a kitchen instead of a hotel room for that time. The house was spacious and had everything I needed for my stay. The host was responsive. I would stay here again.

Amazing Find

Adorable house! VERY clean! Pictures don’t do it justice! It has everything you need. The owner is very quick to respond and is very helpful. The location is great. We walked around the lake every day. Everything we needed was in close proximity, too. I’ll definitely stay here again next time down.

Needed somewhere to stay for a baby shower happening down the road.

The property is clean, and supplied nice starters, like coffee pods, creamers, water bottles to get you started. The driveway next to the house was nice to get out of the street. Communication with property owner was easy. The bed was comfortable, and plenty of linens. Some of the neighbors looked a little shady, but was quiet and no problems.

What a charming little oasis close to great shops and restaurants. The house was immaculate, communication with the host was fantastic and we just couldn’t say enough positive things about this experience. We felt very safe walking the area and truly enjoyed the neighborhood feel.
