Lake House with Amazing Dock and a Terrific House for our baseball tournament travels!

This was the perfect spot to stay for our baseball tournament weekend with our three boys. We cannot even explain how much we loved the dock and lake! The boys jumped and swam for hours, fished, and the nicest spot for dinner and hanging out in the shade of the boathouse with a breeze! The house was exactly as shown - clean, comfortable (seriously the best beds!), a well equipped kitchen made for easy cooking and the use of the BBQ on the screened porch was wonderful. The owners were so easy to communicate with and responsive when we had any questions before, during and after our stay. My family didn’t want to leave. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to get to town for groceries. Directions and check in were a breeze. Whether just for vacation, or for sports tournament stays, I would definitely recommend. We are looking forward to our next stay!

convenient location

we were happy to have a house to go back to after long days on the field hockey field for a tournament. The owner was very accommodating to allow us to have an extended check out to come back and shower after we were on the field in the pouring down rain to take showers before our flight. The house was clean. I had a great view of the lake and bonus, we had cranes that visited every morning to say hello.nice stay!

Perfect Lake House Getaway

This was the most amazing stay. Blown away by this little home and lake. The owner was always within reach and did his best to help us with any question we had. We couldn’t have booked a better place honestly. The fishing off the dock was so much fun, the family each caught something and they were huge! Turtles were cute. House was clean and provided everything we could need. Will most definitely be back!

Great move in weekend!

My family and I came to the area from South Florida to move my little brother into UCF. This location was awesome for just that! It was 28 minutes to campus but far enough away from the busy traffic! The lake is PHENOMENAL! There were so many beautiful bass, sunfish, turtles and we saw a bald eagle! Definitely coming back to this property when we come to visit! The property manager was great too! Quick to respond and super helpful!

An absolute getaway!!

The property was secluded in an older/matured neighborhood, far enough from the hustle but close enough to be convenient. Located near convenience stores and shopping, it had a great layout and all the amenities we needed to accommodate our blended party. Then end of our trip brought us up to the internet outage which resulted in flight delays and cancellations, the owners were so very accommodating and extended our stay with no issues. We have found out new "spot" in the Orlando vicinity !!

Relaxing Getaway

The home is centrally located to everything you'll need, felt welcoming, and has a great view of Lake Ada. The dock is great to just sit and relax or go fishing. Neighbors are friendly and kind. We stayed 4 nights and already thinking about rebooking later in the year.

Great house on the lake to relax

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Jay's propery. The house was very clean and the amenities fit all of our needs. The house is located on a beautiful lake that is about an hour from Disneyworld and about 1 hour from the ocean. We took advantage of the location to enjoy both while still being able to relax. The neighbors are also very friendly and helpful. We were also able to watch 2 space launches from the backyard. Just a great time! Thanks so much for a great stay Jay!

About the host

Hosted by Jay Davidson

We are part time missionaries who have led medical and other mission teams all over the world; focusing for the last few years on the fight against the horrible crime of Human Trafficking. We work through our local church and Teresa has founded "Chains Interrupted" which works locally, nationally and world wide to increase awareness as well as real prevention, rehabilitation and even rescue.
We love to travel and have children in 5 states.

Why they chose this property

When we found this hidden gem on a private water ski lake (Jay is an avid skier), we knew it was the home for us. We like to be close to the Sanford Airport as we travel through there a lot.
We have a second home on this lake (VRBO #2054498) and a third home on the smaller lake in the same neighborhood (VRBO #2422057)
