Lakefront Florida Retreat - Pool Table & Boat Dock

We enjoyed our stay and had a great time fishing, playing pool, and hanging out in one of the many outdoor spaces. Communication with the host was excellent and friendly. Lake June was very nice. We learned after booking that we could not put our boat in the boat house (I didn’t see this in the listing), so heads up on that if it’s a big deal to you. Also, this is an old house - and the A/C did not cool the upstairs well at all. We kept the place closed up as directed, but even with high temps only in the 80s it was uncomfortable upstairs at night.

GOOD

The house was exactly as I expected. Maria was very helpful and made sure we were greeted with everything we needed. I would definitely stay there again.

Absolutely effortless and awesome location

Very relaxing location the lake is great not much to do if you are looking for a place to relax and spend time with family / friends this is it.

We had a wonderful week staying on Lake June! We brought our five daughters, son in laws and three grandkids. We made a lot of memories swimming and boating together. The sunsets are amazing!!

Great

Where do I start? Four families with children ranging in ages from 1-11 were in desperate need of a vacation. From the moment we booked it to long after we left, the host, Maria, made us feel like family. We walked in the door and released a collective gasp of awe! We knew we were walking into something magical, historic, and with its own special character. Being surrounded by giant wood beams and creaking floors that have seen a million footsteps over the years left us feeling lucky to get to be a part of this home’s lengthy story. Every room was immaculately maintained and updated with all the comforts of home and beautiful decorative elements. My husband and I have back and neck injuries so comfy beds are a MUST and these beds did not disappoint. It could be that we were exhausted from skiing all day and just collapsed into bed but all of our fellow guests reported great sleep and commented on the luxurious linens, pillows, and comforters. I packed nearly my entire house expecting to need many things in the kitchen but Maria literally has everything you could ever need. We ate all our meals on the giant deck overlooking the lake and enjoyed watching the sunlight sparkle on the lake and eventually set below the horizon. The dock and private sandy beach area was perfect for our children to wade in splash about and play in the sand. The older kids were so proud of themselves for getting the courage up to jump from the top of the dock! We kept our little ski-boat there and were tubing and skiing till dusk every day. Not a single alligator sighting and the water is so clean with no weeds! Maria had fishing poles and tackle and toys for the little ones. The neighbors are absolutely lovely, helpful and welcoming. The whole experience felt like we had stepped back in time to when things were simpler, neighbors were friendly, being outdoors was the only place to be, and families felt connected and shared every meal together. We had a ‘no devices’ rule for the kids but never had to enforce it as the backyard and lake were their entertainment! I could easily keep going but have already written too much. You will not regret renting this home and it’s magic will continue to call you back.

Communication with property manager was excellent. The only issue I had was the cleanliness of the property and things needed to be fixed and replaced. I did receive a $300 refund for it not being clean. It's a beautiful old house but needs a good Spring cleaning in some money invested into it. I probably would not rent it again because of it being dirty.

A relative rented this place twice before I did so I knew ahead of time that it was a great place. It's clean and well taken care of. The deck off the house is huge. The dock is nice - with a large covered area to stay out of the sun. The water is about 7 feet deep at the end of the dock with a nice sandy bottom. I'd definitely stay here again!
