Great property in Lakeland

The property is wonderful — fantastic location (less than a block from Lake Hollingsworth and Florida Southern campus) with comfortable furniture and great amenities. It was a perfect space for our large group, although other renters should note that there are actually 2 kings, 2 queens and 2 twin beds (not 3 kings, 1 queen and 2 doubles as described in the listing). Communications were unimpressive, but otherwise this was a charming property!

Great Property and Location

The property is in a great location and we loved the home. Unfortunately there was a mix up and the property was not clean when we arrived. However, the cleaning service came that night and worked for hours to clean the house. The house has a few things that need fixed (no handle on one of the bedroom doors and the drain in the upstairs master shower is very slow to drain). It is a great house for a big family or a couple of families to share. Lots of room! Would definitely stay here again.
