About this property
A lakeside sunset delight near Disney, Universal, Sea World, Busch, LegoLand
Here's the place to kick back, fish and recharge or to enjoy endless attractions Central Florida--Disney, Universal Studios, Sea World, Busch Gardens, LegoLand. My home is a renovated 2 bedroom 2.5 bath home with gorgeous sunsets on Lake Echo. Master bedroom has full bath with French doors leading to a screened deck with lounge chairs allowing you to watch the water skiers or pelicans diving for breakfast. "Kids" bedroom has Animal Kingdom theme with bunks. Large main room splits for two living and one dining area. Florida room has breakfast nook and double sofa bed. Both bedrooms and one living area have TV (one DVD) with Roku connections. Wireless internet available. Kitchen has granite countertops, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, and gas stove. Full size washer and dryer is next to kitchen. But more....the views are awesome from the back of the home through 2 sliding doors and bay windows along with French doors all look west to the lake. There is a 16'x30' covered deck with lots of shaded deck seating or step down to the 3rd deck for sunning and a picnic table. Then proceed further to the pier where you can dock your own boat/jet ski, use my paddleboat(prearrange), or fish. Of course, the lake offers swimming and a sand beach area. The paddle boat is possibly available with advanced notice and signing liability waiver. But it doesn't end as there is another lakeside picnic pavilion and gas grill. Across the street is the Lake Alfred/Winter Haven bike/jogging path of about 5 miles. Again, location is central to everything Florida--LegoLand, Disney, Universal Orlando, Sea World, Busch Gardens Tampa, Bok Tower, and so many pure Florida attractions. Even watch space launches from the front yard. The home has hosted many Northern retirees coming for months at a time as the place to winter, relax in the sun(contact me for special rates). I have hosted a book author, television producer while shooting in the area, and even an interview session filmed for Discover Channel. It is also a big spring hit when Polk County hosts high school and college baseball/cheering national events.
This the place to relax, refresh or the never ending attractions. Come stay and enjoy.

Great vacation home. The view from the lake side porch was 100% peacefully and relaxing!! The owner was very easy to communicate with and supplied thoughtfully welcome gifts!! Nice location close to all the Orlando sights without the traffic!!
Was a great stay. Our College Swim team came to the area for training camp and we were able to have them over for all meals. The athletes truly appreciated it
Great weekend stay, Bill was great in communication and making sure we had all the information we needed upon check-in. Place was clean and spacious for 4 adults.
Was perfect getaway in quiet, peaceful neighborhood yet on a small pong loaded with wildlife around. Close to many attractions as well! Bill was exceptional with communication and making sure all our questions were answered. We will definitely be staying again in the near future!
We had a fabulous stay in Lake Alfred. The home was very comfortable and provided much needed rest and relaxation. The home had everything we could have needed and then some. We especially enjoyed the deck overlooking the lake all times of day and night. William was forthcoming with information for our stay and had many suggestions to for things to do and restaurants in the area. I would definitely stay again when I’m back in the area.
We really enjoyed our stay, the back porch on the lake is by far the best view of our trip. We relaxed every evening by the lake after a long day of playing baseball. Also it’s very quiet but still close enough to everything to have a nice peaceful vacation. A lot of good local dining places to get away from the chain restaurant and support local businesses
Beautiful sunsets, great weather. But it was the host that made it even more special. William, thank you for your hospitality. Hope we can do it again.
Very nice apartment, quiet and idyllic location by the lake.Very well equipped, clean rooms and all the amenities you need.Bill is a very nice host who is always on hand with help and advice.We can recommend the apartment without reservation.

Thank you for your positive comments about your stay at my lakeside home. I try to have everything you need for a relaxing visit and it seems I succeeded. Please consider returning to my home the next time you visit the States. Thank you again.
Our family enjoyed our stay. The property owner was responsive and the home was definitely family friendly. It was spacious with plenty of areas to relax and enjoy the sunset. Would book again.

I appreciate very much your nice comments. I want everyone to have an enjoyable relaxing time when they visit. And I would like to invite you back anytime when you visit your son. You were wonderful guests.
Thanks for the comments. I was wanting your visit to be a positive memorable stay and hope it did. Thank you also for taking such good care of my home. I hope when you think Central Florida again for a vacation, you will consider my home. Please take care.
I was working near there for several weeks. Location was quiet and conveniently located to necessary grocery stores and shopping as well. Great sunsets over the lake.
This was the cleanest place we have ever stayed in. We enjoyed the deck and the amazing view. The sunsets are spectacular. We were visiting the area to attend our sons baseball games at the Lake Myrtle Sports Complex. The location was very convenient to the venue and Winter Haven. We will be looking to stay here next year!
Truly enjoyed this home and view. The sunrises and sunsets were beautiful! We were over for a baseball tournament and looking for a place to stay so the boys could fish. Had a good time! Thanks, William!
This was a great house right on the water. The outside decks are huge and we spent a lot of time just sitting out there. Kids loved all the games and the sandy area. We wanted to use the paddle boat but never actually got around to it.
As the title says great place and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Thank you so much for the compliments. You were fantastic guests and are welcome to come back anytime.
House is very roomy and comfortable. We spent most of our time on the deck watching pelicans, ospreys and the occasional gator. Lake Alfred is convenient to many attractions and parks. The owner, Bill, was great about communicating with us. Highly recommend it.

Thank you very much for the nice comments. The back porch many find to be their favorite place watching the lake, sunsets and wildlife to just relax. You were great guests, and I hope you consider my home again if you decide to return to central Florida. Air Force all the way!!
Very clean, very quiet with a great view of a lake. The location is very handy and off the busy highway. Enjoyed the air hockey table (we tied). Bill provided lots of information ahead of time and while we were there. The large deck had lots of options for seating and viewing. If in the area again would rent again.
