    Oh my goodness! What a wonderful, peaceful stay! Beautiful, comfortable home steps from the white sand beach on the lake. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. Very quiet neighborhood. Many activities (springs, Orlando, Mt. Dora) within an hours drive. We also enjoyed using the kayaks and paddle board. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

    The screened in back porch and outside with gorgeous views of Lake Weir made the house hard to match. Lots of room, great food nearby.... This is a great find. Joe was very responsive for any questions we had. Highly recommend.

    We love Bright & Cozy. We stayed last year and this year the owner had already made some wonderful changes. Kitchen is like new. Two nice bathrooms, 4 bedrooms with plenty of room. Huge, spacious, screened porch facing lake with table and chairs, BIG screen tv, huge overhead fan and smaller oscillating fan. TV i.ln most bedrooms. Tons of games. Access to walk right into lake of beautiful, white sandy beach. Great for adults and children. Local restaurant Gator Joe's right on water within walking distance. We loved it and will schedule again next year

    Our week stay at the lake house was great. The house was roomy and well equipped with all we needed. The properties owners were friendly and easily accessible. They made sure to let us know if we needed anything to just reach out. They even brought us a serving platter for us to use on Thanksgiving for our turkey. The outdoor space is beautiful. We enjoyed the hammocks and witnessed some beautiful sunsets. Would definitely book again and recommend.

    This was the first time staying at this location and we loved it. The house was dirty when we arrived but after speaking to the owners, they handled the situation like professionals. We stayed for the week, and it was perfect! Great location, beautiful beach area and plenty of room for 3 small families. We will definetly be back!!
