Family Vacation

My family of 4 stayed two nights on the back end of our vacation. The property was easy to find and check in was super simple. The house had everything needed for our stay. Plenty of parking in the circle drive of the main residence. Nice backyard and view of the lake. If you’re looking for a nice quiet area but, close to Tampa and the airports, this is your rental.

The property is in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood by a lake. We loved the area and having a cayak to use helped us enjoy our stay even more. The property was very clean and the directions to enter were clear. Our stay was perfect and would come back for sure. Highly recommended!!

Perfect cottage for last minute getaway

This cottage was everything we wanted and more. It was very comfortable and had all the comforts of home. It was in a great location and had lovely views from the deck. I did not realize the cottage was on the host’s property but it didn’t make a difference. I will likely come back.

Beautifully Maintained Property in a Perfect Location

We had a great stay at this VRBO rental! The location was absolutely perfect—right in the city, yet surprisingly quiet and peaceful. The property was not only well maintained but also very attractive and thoughtfully designed. The high ceiling added a beautiful sense of space, and my wife and I especially enjoyed the artwork on the walls—it gave the unit a warm and welcoming feel.The unit was very clean and free of harsh chemicals, which we really appreciated due to our allergies. Access was simple and hassle-free. The air conditioning worked wonderfully, keeping us comfortable throughout our stay.Even though we were in town for business and didn’t get to enjoy the beautiful lakefront area as much as we’d have liked, it was clear that the outdoor space was a real gem.We experienced a brief 30-minute electrical outage, but the property managers were incredibly responsive. Within minutes, they respectfully left high-powered flashlights at our door, which was a thoughtful and considerate gesture.Communication with the managers was easy and prompt. Overall, it was a peaceful, clean, and comfortable place to stay—and we’d gladly return for a more relaxing visit next time!

Great, comfortable property

I had a brief stay here while traveling for work. The standalone location was comfortable and spacious. It has a very cozy feel, very much like a home, more than just a rental. Despite feeling remote, it was close to shopping, food, and major highways. Parking was close and safe/out of the way. Great stay!

A week in paradise

This is our third year staying at the Lakefront House. Never fails to meet our expectations - quiet, clean, and comfortable with everything we need at our fingertips. It is close to major roadways, but you would never know it. It is so peaceful, no sound of traffic at all. Rhonda and Simon are the perfect hosts, always available but to be honest we hardly ever see them. Really could not be more perfect. We hope to return for a 4th visit.

Perfect place in a beautiful serene location

This cottage was so peaceful, perfect, clean and had everything we needed and some for our stay. We booked the cottage following surgery, to be near the hospital for a few days and it was absolutely the best choice we could have made. The grounds are beautiful, the wildlife is thriving, the lake is beautiful and the cottage was perfect. The space is beautiful and we want to visit again in the future after we are healed with our kids.

Milton aftermath

This was one of the only properties that has electricity in the aftermath of the hurricane, it was the coziest place to land after an exhausting 5 days of moving around because my house was affected by the storm and had no power. I got the rest I needed there before going home to clean up and reorganize things.

LOVE everything About this place

Words are insufficient to fully express what a beautiful place this is. The property is gorgeous, comfortable, clean, and inviting. The hosts are wonderful. I stayed during Hurricane Milton having to evacuate from my home, and I cannot think of a better place to have been. Not only did I feel safe, the hosts Rhonda and Simon, made this experience the best it could possibly have been. I recommend this without any hesitation, and selfishly hope it remains the best kept secret. It made a very unpleasant experience the best it possibly could have been. And more..
