Fantastic location for access to all of the central Florida places we wanted to visit. Quiet neighborhood in a quiet town. The host was friendly, helpful and accommodating. We also met the team members who support the host and they were friendly too. We will check the availability of this location anytime we plan another central Florida visit.

Disliked: Cleanliness
They had cut down the trees in the back yard and the swing was broken and leanind on the back wall. The fountain was overgrown by weeds and there was no place to sit. The tv that is hooked up to an antenna and advertised to have 24 channels didnt work. They said we could log onto our own apps or use the ones that a previous person had left logged in. All of this was relayed to us by the cleaning lady who lives next door, not the manager. This is just a few of the problems.

Clean house. Seems like a good neighborhood. A good, comfortable stay for a couple of nights. King bed was very soft, not the best for my back. The TV in the livingroom did not work. It just kept cycling back to the home screen. No batteries in bedroom TV remote. Record player also did not work, which was disappointing.

The home was as advertised. The furniture in the liy room was a bit more worn than it appeared online but it was still comfortable. The home was clean and comfortable and was perfect for the short trip we made to Florida. Host was quick to respond and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location for Sun n Fun

My family and I stayed here for our annual trip to Sun n Fun in Lakeland. This comfortable home ended up being cheaper than a hotel room! Location was in a quiet neighborhood about 25 minutes from Lakeland. Very clean property, easy keypad door entry on arrival. comfortable beds and cold AC. Would definitely recommend!
