We stayed at the Lakehouse to go to several Orioles spring training games the field is very easy to get too from there. The home was very clean and comfortable, all the appliances are new in the kitchen and laundry also the bathrooms have been remodeled so everything is updated. The backyard was very relaxing the pond behind the house was loaded with wildlife and interesting tropical plants, also equipped with a gas grill. The beach is easy to get to as well if that is what you’re going for. With all that I would make this home my first choice if I were to go back!ESB

The home was clean and the kitchen well-stocked (dishes, pots, pans, knives, etc.). There were plenty of towels and also beach accessories available for use. The host was quick to respond to questions and very responsive to any needs.
