Midway between Disney and the Gulf beaches

The small but fully-equipped kitchen is open to the living room, the washer and dryer are yours to use, parking is off-street in a driveway, and in addition to the three bedrooms, additional sleeping is available on the large wrap-around couch.

This place worked out well for us coming into town for a wedding. The ring cameras inside are a little disconcerting and the yard is not fully fenced, but otherwise it was a great place.

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!

Polk City Quiet Bungalow

Our Christmas week visit was made possible due to the Owner allowing us to bring our pet Dogs. My children and grandchildren live 15 miles away with easy access to either The Polk Parkway toll road or I-4. Upon arrival, the house was comfortably outfitted with furniture and king size bed providing great sleep.The kitchen was stocked with all necessary utensils needed to create any meal imaginable.Plenty of clean towels, great lightng, nice sized yard allowing for parking my crew cab pickup on the driveway or carport.The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbor quite helpful.A great location for vacationing to Disney World, Leggo Land and a 45 minute drive from Tampa and Ybor City.A great deal and we will be back.

Home is in a good location. Nice quiet neighborhood and still close enough to bigger cities for activities. We travel with our pets and this home is pet friendly, which is nice. We will definitely stay here again when we come to visit our daughter at school.
