We are a group of 10 friends/family who travel together and rent properties through VRBO. We found the home had plenty of space for our group. It includes two living rooms, an open kitchen concept, a dining area, comfortable bedrooms (most with En-suite bathrooms)
and a large bird-cage lanai with furniture, pool
and spa. However, the description of one of the bedrooms is not accurate as it indicates it has two queen beds, when in fact they are two full-sized beds. The couple using this bedroom said they were still comfortable. Just wanted to point this out because when we are looking for homes to rent, we make sure the beds meet our needs for couples. The house was immaculate; kitchen had plenty of dishes, pots & pans and silverware. In addition there is plenty of pantry and refrigerator space for all your supplies. Dining area accommodates 10 people which we used for home cooked meals and game nights. One of the previous reviews indicated a lack of towels. We found towels and wash cloths to be plentiful with extras in the cabinets. The pool includes a spa, which shouldn’t be confused with a hot tub. There are jets for a nice massage, but the spa is pretty much the same temperature as the pool. We paid extra for pool heat, which did maintain a warm temperature and was comfortable and refreshing for us. The internet worked well inside, however out in the lanai area it was very week. In addition, we have Verizon Wireless as our cell phone provider and the cell towers we found to be weak or non existent in the Davenport area.
As far as groceries, there is a Publix a little over a mile from the house. In addition, there are other grocery stores in the area. We found a few nice restaurants nearby; Manny’s Original Chophouse in Haines City for dinner and Davenport Diner for breakfast and lunch. Many choices for dining in the area, however make sure you allow time for travel as the traffic appears heavy in Davenport, Kissimmee and the surrounding area. We also recommend a very nice Farmers Market in Lakeland if you have the time.
All in all we enjoyed our time in Providence. If we ever plan to back in this area, we would consider renting this property again.
