What a wonderful place to gather with all our kids and grandkids! The place is beautiful and well appointed, with everything you’d need for a family get together. The kitchen has all the necessities to cook a full meal down to plastic plates and utensils for small kids. Will definitely come back for our next family gathering!

Lake House at Winter Haven

The lake house in Winter Haven is beautiful. We loved staying there and kayaking on their lake. The house is great for children and has a play area for young children that my daughter loved. We greatly enjoyed our stay there and recommend it.

Christmas by Lake Idylwild

We were very impressed with this property, it is well equipped with everything you’ll need for a stay. Close to Publix and everything else, quiet dock to enjoy a cup of coffee or an adult beverage! There was plenty of room for the six adults to stay and another five to visit and celebrate christmas! Thank you!

Beautiful, comfortable accommodations

This home is beautiful and provided very comfortable accommodations for our family of 6. It was about 20 minutes from Legoland and plenty of shopping and dining options. There's a Family Dollar just a 5 minute walk away for any household items you need. The lake was beautiful. The Tiki bar with foosball and a pool table was a lot of fun! Highly recommend.

Great stay at the lake

We really enjoyed our stay at this lake house. It was a great location and we used it as a staging area to move our son into FSC dorms. Close to grocery shopping and some decent restaurants. My son was able to catch a fair amount of bass right from the dock. Oh and the AC unit in the sun room was a game changer since it was so hot outside. Will likely stay here again when we come to visit our son.

Lovely home

The pictures online doesn’t do it justice how beautifully decorated the home is, as you walk in you have a clear view of the lake. The kitchen has everything you need to a nutrí blender to some salt and pepper. The beds super comfortable, and the pillows were amazing buying some myself of the same kind. Lovely home, already recommended the home to some who want to go to LegoLand some of our family. The kids enjoyed the backyard lots of greenery to run around. If you stay here watch the sunrise breathtaking views.

Home away from home

I cannot recommend this home enough. Our family and friends were able to enjoy this beautiful home for a week and we could not have been more grateful. The home was impeccable, well stocked with everything we needed, and sooo inviting. We were able to do a Thanksgiving dinner together and the kids had TONS of things to do between the pool table, the dock, board games, etc. The baby play area was a HUGE bonus for us because we had two one year olds with us. The view from the game room during the sunrise was a romantic touch for my husband and I to wake up to as well. Communication with the manager was excellent and they were quick to respond with any questions or needs we had. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this amazing opportunity to stay at your beautiful home!!

Truly unforgettable family vacation

Our recent stay at Natalie's home was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that every detail had been carefully considered. Natalie, our host, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction throughout our stay. Her attention to detail was evident in every corner of the house, from the meticulously decorated rooms to the well-appointed kitchen stocked with everything we could possibly need. Located in what can only be described as paradise, Natalie's home provided the perfect backdrop for a truly unforgettable family vacation. Surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, we found ourselves immersed in serenity and tranquility from the moment we stepped foot onto the property. Our kids, in particular, had the time of their lives exploring the expansive grounds and connecting with nature. As we packed our bags, we couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to experience such a magical retreat. Thank you Natalie and family

Wonderful home away from home in Winter Haven

This is my third WH rental in the last 3 years and this was by far our favorite. The information app/link that was shared in advanced of the visit was incredibly helpful and getting the home access code prior to arrival made moving in flawless. The house itself is beautifully decorated and modern, with full spectrum of appliances and a wonderful kitchen. We had multiple TVs on which to watch March Madness, including a big screen in the living room that was a huge hit. But for us, the highlights of the 10 day stay were the beautiful dock and the sunroom. We sat out on the dock before our baseball outings and after. We watched the sunrise and sunset with the local wildlife. There is a baby gator who would just swim up and stare at us (in a friendly way) and we even tried our hands at fishing. There are cranes, ibises, ospreys, bald eagles, turtles, fish...the list goes on. And the sunroom! Foos and billiards: what's not to like? We had long nights gathered around the well apportioned tiki bar. I've gotten used to buying bar supplies when I rent a home, but this house had everything. The temperature control is such a plus; we could use the space from morning to night. It is a fantastic space to read in the mornings. Finally, some WH tips--we really enjoyed Fire for lunch and Nutwood for dinner. Twisted Prop for lakeside beers. The bar at Arabella's for wine/pasta. ABC Liquors for wine/spirits. Easy access to Lake Myrtle for baseball (12 min). Great home!

Go to place

We stumbled upon this gem and will absolutely stay here again whenever our company works in the area. We loved using the kayaks, playing pool, and chatting on the dock. It’s not brand new, but it’s very well kept, comfortable, and far better than staying in a hotel. A fantastic place to unwind after a long day.
