Wonderful Lake View Vacation Getaway

Whole place was pretty much spotless and felt well managed.The place is huge, the location is perfect, surrounded by several expensive-looking gated communities, quiet neighbours, and easy access to I4. Maybe 25 mins to the parks.Would 100% recommend heating the pool if coming out of summer. We didn't - silly mistake. Not a deal breaker but every day we said it would have been nice to come home to!Host was incredibly accommodating. I dropped a message to say a hair dryer wasn't working (there were 3 other available ones, just thought I'd let them know). There was a new one at the door next day.Long story short - would 100% stay again. Just book this place and don't bother looking elsewhere.

Not the most modern looking property decor wise. But everything was super clean and homely. Most importantly the beds were comfortable and we had a great night’s sleep each of our 13 mights stay.The pool did not need heating in Jul - but we were given the option by the host, just prior to our arrival. The pool was well maintained and clean - and we saw the pool person at least twice during our stay.We also noticed a k-cup coffee machine and baking missing and received brand new items the next day. The toaster was also missing a lever to push the bread down and lift it out - again replacement was done the next day. The property also had brand new stainless steel appliances and not the standard, aged, white ones that were shown in the pics - so that was a welcome uptick!

Very spacious kitchen and just enough room to entertain a close family.

We had more house than we actually needed, if you are a large family or multiple people enjoying the home you will have plenty of space to share! Initially the check-in process was difficult as the AC did not work until the next day - there was an emergency line that kept going straight to voicemail and after driving from TX to stay there we were exhausted! We ended the first night with a big fan and some cool drinks. The company was efficient in arriving the next day in the late afternoon to get it working and even turned on the pool heat which I would recommend adding 10/10. The pool heat* is the only way for the soaking spa outside to be warm, and the water overlaps into the pool itself heating it pleasantly. It was extraordinary being able to swim comfortable in a pool in November :D We really loved the location with a variety of food options from Publix grocery store, quick food, to restaurants in the area. The drive to Orlando is a bit far, but easy to manage - about 1 hour. This house was the best location to be in if you enjoy privacy, your own oasis and to celebrate your vacation together without having to be in the hustle-bustle. Areas of improvements: We checked out on Monday - and was asked to take out completely filled outdoor trashcans and recycling that were already filled upon arrival. My spouse complied but he shouldn't be having to take out trash for others on vacation.
