Kitchen was well appointed. The house was clean and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool table & foosball on the Lanai. And the mini-split AC was greatly appreciated! Decor was nicely done and we would recommend this vacation rental to anyone! We also enjoyed the chairs on the dock and the kayaks. Very nice place!

We stumbled upon this gem and will absolutely stay here again whenever our company works in the area. We loved using the kayaks, playing pool, and chatting on the dock. It’s not brand new, but it’s very well kept, comfortable, and far better than staying in a hotel. A fantastic place to unwind after a long day.

I took multiple teenage boys to spend some time on the lake. Lake Access is great. And there is a lot for the boys to do at the house, foosball, pool, table, cornhole, etc. everything was great.

Lake House at Winter Haven
The lake house in Winter Haven is beautiful. We loved staying there and kayaking on their lake. The house is great for children and has a play area for young children that my daughter loved. We greatly enjoyed our stay there and recommend it.

Fantastic property, quiet and great location for Legoland and bass fishing on the lakes which was our main aim. Also not too far from other theme parks and golf courses. Everything well set up in the house for our arrival and the grand kids loved the games room!!

Thanks for your great review! So glad you were able to enjoy the lakes and the beautiful city of Winter Haven and all it has to offer! We would love to have you and your family back any time!
This little house is beautifully renovated and located in the perfect place. There is plenty of room for a large family, and this property caters well to small children. The lake is lovely, and the kayaks were great for fishing and paddling. It was very comfortable, lots of fun, and had absolutely everything that we needed. It truly felt like we were at home. The enclosed patio was the perfect place to hang out and visit, play pool, cards, and foosball. If we are in the area again, we will most certainly stay here.
