    Kristin was an outstanding host. She brought extra blankets on a record cold week and checked in regularly to see we had what we needed and immediately responded to minor needs. I almost gave this a 4 bc of ongoing construction work just outside the property- it was quiet but someone was present regularly and the hole under the cottage and mounds of dirt took away from the atmosphere and experience.

    Lovely, comfortable, clean, awesome amenities and a perfect hostess with top notch communication.Excellent directions, easy check-in and private parking. Greeted with a fun holiday video playing Christmas musicEvery window had beautiful views of amazing Florida landscape and well lit boardwalk to a private pier. The kitchen was well stocked with absolutely everything you need. The refrigerator had condiments and drinks provided for everyone’s pleasure. We cooked breakfast everyday and liked the induction stove and induction cookware.The bathroom was large, well stocked with nice soaps, shampoos, nice hair dryer and luxurious towels. I forgot to pack my makeup remover but surprise, there was some there along with other goodies that I’m not used to!The luxurious bed and quality bedding was very welcoming and comfortable.The lake was so inviting and full of wildlife that we enjoyed coffee every morning on the peaceful dock. The seagulls, ducks and cranes were entertaining with their daily air and water shows!The highlight of my stay was the owner treating me to a private experience feeding the cranes and providing overall excellence!This charming VRBO exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to return!!! Thank you for a wonderful first post retirement vacation!!!

    An absolutely perfect stay. Such a quaint cottage with all the amenities. Coffee out on the dock while watching the sun rise over the lake was a favorite moment. Kristin is fantastic, very responsive and helpful. This will be our new home away from home for our trips to Tampa

    Exactly what I needed for my stay. Calm, Quiet, and comfortable. I was in Tampa for an intensive certification class nearby and was looking for a seclusive getaway to rest in the evenings. This was the perfect place.

    Absolutely amazing stay from first day to checkout! Host was wonderful! The place was spotless and beautiful! After long days at Busch Gardens it was so quiet and relaxing! Just sitting on our private dock watching the wildlife and enjoying the lake. If your visiting Tampa this is the place to stay!
