Outstanding property on Crooked Lake, much larger than what the pictures display even with the master not included. The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen we've seen in all of our stays at a VRBO across the country and the stocked coffee bar is a really nice taste and variety (to include decaf is most appreciated). The beach is super nice and great for hanging out, going for a swim beaching the boats, etc.. The grill is actually a griddle but was a nice surprise to make new creations as we don't have one at home. The small neighborhood is really friendly with people walking and riding bikes, and actually still wave at you and smile. Plenty of games to choose from and the Scrabble table is really nice and not a 20 set. If you are going to be beaching the boat overnight and need to charge, ensure you have 200' of cord as the closest outlet is on the porch. We only had two trucks with boat trailers and parking was fine, anything more than that you'll need to find an alternative parking area as parking on the grass is not an option and the driveway is shared with a neighbor. The hot water heater took a day to master, but there are instructions in the property binder on the island in the kitchen (just leave the sink hot water running at the same time, worked for us). All in all, this is a 5 out of 5-star property and one my wife has already instructed to make another reservation, but for a day or two longer!

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING VIEWS

Unfortunately we didn’t stay long enough. Rented for 4 nights and was NOT ready to leave. We live on the east coast and had our daughter’s wedding in Lake Wales, so rented the house while we were there. This was probably the most relaxing stay we’ve ever had. The house is spacious, super clean, top notch decor, and the views were absolutely stunning! Unfortunately we didn’t get in until late the first night, but the host kept in touch and let us know it’s a dark area. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay! Thank you :)

Absolutely amazing

The lake was amazing, the house was amazing, the grill was amazing, the water toys/big kid toys were well stocked, plenty of beach chairs to go around, I literally could go on and on. It was more than enough room for our family. There is only one tv in the house (living room) but we didn't mind that at all. 100% would go back again and recommend this house to anyone.
