Great location, great home. The owners didn’t skimp on the beds, either, with 2 kings and 2 queens — hard to find that in a 3 bedroom! And the kitchen was well stocked with all our cooking needs. Would definitely stay here again. Loved being so close to Lake Hollingsworth, too.

Everything was outstanding. The place is pristine and has everything that you would need. The decorating was so well done and it was spotless. It felt like a true vacation. The pool was very warm and the whole backyard is nice and private. This is the nicest place we have stayed and we have stayed in a lot of five-star places! It is just down the street from the lake and everything is in close proximity. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Great Location and Comfy

We stayed for a week as a group of 5. It is rare to find a rental with good beds/sheets/and basic items lately, so this was really appreciated as we had long days of work at a local event. It is a great location as well. Looking forward to staying again.

Amazing Home Close to Lake

I thoroughly enjoyed this home that is tastefully decorated and stocked. The pool is charming and quiet. At the end of the street you are at a lake where the walls are delightful any time of day. I couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant stay!

Lovely house in a great neighborhood

Our family of 3 really enjoyed our stay at this house. It’s just as shown in the photos. Very comfortable, clean, and well-decorated. Very comfortable beds. The owner was very responsive and pleasant as well. And it was great to be within walking distance of the lake and a wonderful playground!

Second amazing stay

You will be absolutely spoiled when you stay here. Annie is the best hostess we’ve ever had in any of our vacation rental experiences. The home is clean, well decorated and stocked with anything you could need The attention to detail in making guests comfortable is unmatched. The proximity to Lake Hollingsworth is fantastic and we were able to enjoy activities in Tampa and Orlando too.

Amazing Stay

Property was exactly as described. Annie, the owner, has thought of everything you could need when away from home and was incredibly responsive and helpful through our entire stay. My kids were thrilled to find a supply of toys and puzzles and she left us an amazing array of pastries and snacks as a welcome gift. The pool was perfect for the hot Florida weather. I would absolutely want to stay here again if I were ever returning to the Lakeland area.

This property is just superb! Extremely clean, all the ‘things’ plus more. The host went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend! 5/5 Plenty of towels, kitchenware, cleaning production, supplies, games, and the best part…if you have a request the host wants to know so they can add it.

Family Weekend Getaway

This home is truly a gem! Beautifully decorated, well stocked and easily the cleanest home we've ever rented! Perfect sized home for our family (5 adults); all the beds were very comfortable; the gathering areas (inside and outside) had plenty of seating. The host was very communicative and made sure we had a seamless rental experience. The wading pool (with towels included), lawn games and weight room were nice additions to our stay. Location is great - very nice neighborhood, close to walking trails and downtown Lakeland. We will definitely be staying here again very soon!!! Highly recommend this home!!!

Wonderful oasis in beautiful Lakeland. Quick walk to Lake Hollingsworth that has just under 3 miles of paved path around. Close to Florida Southern Univeristy.Pool is perfect for quick dips and would be great fun for kids up to 10 or so but might be too small for teenagers if they want to play. Plenty of other things to keep pre-teens and teens busy in the workout room and yard games.House was very clean, and nicely decorated. Great bath towels and additional pool towels. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed as well as things we don't expect. Plenty of soap, garbage bags, ect. We stayed for almost 7 days and felt so comfortable. Host was responsive and thoughtful.Note for those with mobility issues: great hand rails on entry and into area going into back room.and pool. Walk in shower off Master bedroom. Kitchen would be pretty tight for a walker, but managable. Only area of caution would be no hand rail for the pool. Neighborhood felt safe and we were comfortable walking at night.
