Perfect family stay!!

Thank you so much for sharing your home. There was literally almost anything you needed for the kids. The house was spacious enough for all 11 of us! We got to celebrate our son’s graduation from high school, 18th birthday and send off to the Marine Corps! The added bonus was using the pool and hot tub area which was beautiful!! For my daughter to get engaged to the love of her life! A million thank you’s couldn’t even begin to tell you how grateful I am!! We only live a short distance but will stay again with the family next year!!

Overall great vacation rental

The rental is located in a neighborhood that was clean, had a very relaxed feel, and safe.The house and pool are well maintained and are an ideal setup for anyone that is traveling with kids—especially because the bottom of the stairs are gated and the pool has safety precautions in place. The bedding was comfortable, access to pots, pans, and dish ware were a huge plus, and the appliances were clean.My only feedback was the cleanliness wasn’t where I would expect a highly rated rental to be. The trash was overflowing, dishes were put away wet, remnants from a party were found throughout the house (balloons, beer caps, etc), and the dishwasher had standing water in it when we arrived. Again, not deal breakers, just not something I would expect to deal with when renting a house with this high of rating. I’d highly recommend this rental to anyone traveling to the area and looking for a comfortable, family friendly place to stay.

Winter Escape

This is a lovely home. It's very spacious and well-appointed. The Masts were excellent hosts. Since we stayed for 3 months, we loved that we could walk to the Lake Wales Family Recreation Center, and to downtown Lake Wales. Being able to walk through Lake Wailes park every day was wonderful. We really enjoyed our winter escape!

We have family in Lake Wales and this location allows us to stay close by in comfort. We bring our bikes and ride around the lake with our grandkids on the paved path. We love the pool, which can be heated in colder weather and the hot tub. One of the things that really attracted us is the dining table that seats 8 people - perfect for our family holiday meals. Kristy, the host is very responsive to inquiries. We will be back!

Like Being Home

We had all the comforts of home. We only cooked one night, but had every thing we needed as far as prepping and serving this meal. The mattresses were very comfortable. The location was beautiful, in a very pleasant neighborhood, which is very important to us. Due to a minor issue, the host owner was very quick/responsive to our needs. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great location and amenities

Our family stayed her for a wedding at Bella Cosa. Kristy was a great host and responded to our requests promptly! The pool and spa were great and there was more than enough room for all of us to spread out. The location to the wedding venue was very convenient. The lake across the street was nice to wake up to. My brother and his wife had a nice walk around the lake on the walking path. Playgrounds nearby were good for the small kids. We had everything we needed at the house - we were able to cook and eat a few meals at the house and do a couple loads of laundry during our stay. Highly recommended!!

A great place

We had a great time in this well equipped, clean home with a screened in pool and hot tub. I was surprised to find out you have to pay extra to have the hot tub heated because it’s part of the pool, but it was well with it. Communication was great throughout the week.

Quiet, spacious, and relaxing

In town for a wedding. Loved the space, location, and amenities of this VRBO. Plenty of space to hang out as a family but have your own area when desired. Having a private pool and hot tub was so nice. We spent a lot of time in both. Convenient to the wedding location. Quiet and relaxing. Would not hesitate to stay here again if in the area. Well stocked. Owner was great with communication. Highly recommend!

Great house and location in central florida

Kristy did a wonderful job setting up the house for guests, had anything we needed to get started including smores items and firewood for outside. The pool and spa are very nice and we enjoyed them a lot in our month there. The house location is right off the lake with a great walking trail available (2.75 miles long). Also a 2+ mile rail trail behind the house which is good for a shorter ride. House is also very near Bok Tower which is a great garden to visit. There’s lots of room in the house and the bedrooms comfortable. Any issues were minor and dealt with quickly even when the owner was on vacation. A couple negatives were, the queen room downstairs doesn’t have any closets so you’ll be working out of a suitcase which is ok for a week but longer may be an issue. Also the table near the pool is very rusted so needs replaced soon and the outside rugs were bad.

A wonderful stay in my hometown of Lake Wales

From the moment we walked in, we knew this would be a great place to stay. The home was warm and welcoming, and well stocked with all the essentials for our week-long stay. I was returning for my daughter's wedding at nearby Bella Cosa--I'd been away for nearly ten years. Lake Wales is small and charming as ever, and just far enough off the beaten path for a reprieve from the Florida tourist traffic. This home is perfectly situated on the town's namesake lake, with a bike and walking path just outside the front door. The house is spacious and we were never cramped for space, even when family dropped by for a visit. I'd definitely recommend visiting Bok Tower, which is just a few minutes away. Our children loved the heated pool, and we enjoyed having some family over for the backyard fire pit. I liked the ability to have Walmart or Publix deliver groceries right to the house when we arrived, a wonderful convenience when travelling. I hope to stay here again in the near future. Thank you! And the Wedding was perfect too!

Super Family Christmas

Super Beautiful Home. Perfect for our Family Christmas reunion. Everyone,especially the kids, loved the pool and spa. Also the Large den with Super size TV was perfect for movies, and Christmas morning gift opening. Enjoyed smores around the fire pit in the evenings, and the large screened in picnic table would have been our spot for meals if the weather was nicer, but the Large dinning room was Great and made us all feel at home. Really enjoyed the stay and will recomend to friends.
