This is an awesome place. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. I truly enjoyed sitting by the pool and enjoying the lovely view from the backyard. This property is not far from some cool hang out spots. I would love to return one day.

Great house and location!!
This was our third year renting the house for an extended period and as always was great. The location is fantastic with the lake right out the back of the house and quite neighborhood. Close to Tampa but not too close. Host a very responsive and go above and beyond!
The property fulfilled all our needs. Was very roomy and the open floor plan was great for relaxing and just being together. The living space opened onto a pool and screened patio with a beautiful view of the lake. Exceptional sunrises. There were kayaks for the guest to use on the lake. Quiet neighborhood. Would stay again.
The pool area with the lake right outside is awesome for unwinding at the end of a long work day. House was perfect for what we needed and the host was great!
Nice house in a nice safe neighborhood with groceries and other stores near by. On a lake and has a pool. Lots of birds I've never seen. Host is very helpful and accomdating. Clean, has all you can hope for in a VRBO.

Lower end rental extremely overpriced
Beds uncomfortable- lighting dim- lightbulbs missing - no mirrors except bathroom- chipped paint- blinds broken- air conditioning didn’t work- cluttered and old furniture patio area/uncleanliness outside - bedroom furnishings leftovers like college students house -
Main bedroom suite was nice
Kitchen granite counter tops and nice fridge
Exterior entry way and pool area needed a deep cleaning - pool screen door the screen was broken off door
No welcome package with notes -
Moldy shower curtain - stained pillows -
Honestly we were disappointed -
Owner lived [location removed] and controlled thermostat from her house
Had to ask for wash clothes, hand towels, kitchen towels , toilet paper etc
Dryer took 3 cycles for small lightweight load
Needs more prep work - and better mattresses - no place to set luggage on in bedrooms except floor -
+Owner did offer us her coolers and each chairs to borrow
Not enough lounge area around tv for 7 people
We think this could be a great house if owner invested time , energy and money into making this a great place.
With beds uncomfortable and air conditioning not working it made for a miserable stay-
We went to Tampa for a golf trip to get out of the Minnesota winter!! The house was darling and just the right size for us all to hang out. Sitting by the pool and having the lake behind us was super relaxing. Would definitely stay there again!
