Family Vacation

My family of 4 stayed two nights on the back end of our vacation. The property was easy to find and check in was super simple. The house had everything needed for our stay. Plenty of parking in the circle drive of the main residence. Nice backyard and view of the lake. If you’re looking for a nice quiet area but, close to Tampa and the airports, this is your rental.

Visited Tampa for graduation

The property is in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood by a lake. We loved the area and having a cayak to use helped us enjoy our stay even more. The property was very clean and the directions to enter were clear. Our stay was perfect and would come back for sure. Highly recommended!!

Perfect stay!! Lovely cottage style guest house. Our visit exceeded our expectations. All details on the property were on point. AMAZING open space view of nature and beautiful lake. Location was ideal in a nice neighborhood area. Truly a 5 star rating. Rhonda and Simon our hosts were very welcoming and responded promptly to any inquiries, which was much appreciated. We enjoyed the property to its fullest and used the kayak that’s provided. Highly recommend this serene lakeside property. Thank you to our hosts for having us.

Great, comfortable property

I had a brief stay here while traveling for work. The standalone location was comfortable and spacious. It has a very cozy feel, very much like a home, more than just a rental. Despite feeling remote, it was close to shopping, food, and major highways. Parking was close and safe/out of the way. Great stay!

Perfect cottage for last minute getaway

This cottage was everything we wanted and more. It was very comfortable and had all the comforts of home. It was in a great location and had lovely views from the deck. I did not realize the cottage was on the host’s property but it didn’t make a difference. I will likely come back.
