We had the most fabulous time at this property. The entire house had everything we needed and the views were spectacular. The boat was a bonus. My family lives on the water in Florida as well so this just felt like home. Comfortable beds and a stocked kitchen made our time so amazing. We can't wait to come back! Thank you for sharing this Paradise on the lake.
First off the host was great! She went above and beyond. Communication was fantastic and her attention to detail is shown throughout the rental. The cottage was perfect and immaculate! We will definitely rent with this host again.
My siblings and families stayed for a relaxing weekend. Views of sunset on the lake were gorgeous. Very well stocked kitchen. We were able to make all kinds of food. Host was very responsive and accommodating. House was clean and had more rooms than expected. Would definitely return! The screened in room has lovely views but it has to be warm enough to open all the window shades and expose the screens. Close to stores and restaurants.Fantastic stay!
Magical weekend on Lake for Family Wedding….felt
Like home but
With beautiful deck and use of pontoon boat to explore the best kept secret of a lake in the area…so peaceful and yet so close to rest of family. Perfection!!!
We were so comfortable in this lovely home. The host has thought of everything. Spotless, great view, and loved the pontoon boat. Plenty of space for a family. Great communication with the owner.
This property was excellent for my family and friends. Very spacious, very well stocked( from towels to toilet paper), plus all the water craft-we especially enjoyed our daily trip around the lake in the pontoon boat.
This was our third time staying here. House was super clean upon arrival. The amenities are perfect for our family dynamics. The pontoon was fun. We were constantly in the water. Kayaking is great on this lake. Very quiet and tranquil especially in the early morning when the eagle is flying around the lake. Very clean water. Nice and warm too. I did a lot of cooking, and the kitchen is very functional. Lots of stores close by. I went often to pick up each day's foods and snacks. The shed has everything your family could need to enjoy this home and lake. So many water toys and life vests of all sizes. Can't wait to book next summer!
I went for the week with my mom as well as my sister and our combined 4 children. The lake has a Sandy/pebbly bottom with clear water and was shallow enough for even the youngest kids to stand. Easy access from stairs on the dock. The end of the dock was deep enough for the older kids to jump off. Very pleasantly surprised by lack of any bugs.
The use of the pontoon boat was a huge plus, especially that it has a canopy.
Also canoes, kayaks, paddle boat. Lots of life vests and noodles/water toys.
The house AC stood up to a severe heat wave, and every room has working AC unit.
We had a great stay!
We loved this property! The house was perfect for our family with 2 seperate areas so everyone had room to spread out. It was clean and comfortable and the communication with the owner was excellent. The pontoon boat and kayaks were so much fun and the lake beyond peaceful! I highly recommend and we will definitely be back.
We stayed here for a weekend for our daughter’s wedding nearby. The property was perfect and I wish we were able to stay longer to enjoy everything there. The home was equipped with everything we could possibly need, a fully stocked kitchen, lots of towels and extra linens, toiletries. And the home itself was wonderful-lots of space to relax together. We loved the screened in porch and spent most of our time out there. We so wished we had time to use the pontoon boat and other boats and boards! In addition, Amanda was so helpful with information about the property and accommodating with an early checkin as well. Thank you for a wonderful stay in your beautiful home!
Nice property. Very little parking but overall we would definitely stay again.

Very clean home, nicely appointed, good location right on the lake. We came into town for a wedding & it worked great for us! Would definitely consider staying here again this time with more time to enjoy the area.
Rented this home for the second time. We had a blast with our two daughters and their families. Had only one rain day but managed to keep it fun and get a little outdoor activity time. This year I utilized the close proximity of the grocery stores and did not bring my entire home fridge contents. What a difference that made lol. The house was very clean upon arrival. The host thought of everything you might need while away from home. Our grandkids love this home. The pontoon is a great feature, and the house is roomy and fills our needs.
Property was as advertised. Great place to relax and unwind or enjoy activities on the clean waters of Alexander’s Lake. Also close to shopping and dining. Host was very accommodating and helpful when contacted. Very satisfied.
This was the perfect venue for our gathering of friends to enjoy some golf and time on the lake. We really enjoyed the house, it's location and the pontoon boat was a real bonus.
We had a great time! We enjoyed the Pontoon boat and it worked for all 9 of us. The weather was cold the next day but we stayed in and played a great game of 25 words or less we we laughed and laughed. Would definitely rent again!
This lake used to be the hot spot for swimming, dancing, rollerskating and all things fun back in the Wildwood Park days. Although the park is no longer in operation, Alexander's Lake is exclusive to its residents, families and friends and remains a fond place for many who remember the good ole days. You can still enjoy the incredible sunsets, crystal clear water, swimming, boating, fishing as well as the weekly sailboat races and our resident tugboat making her rounds. Alexander's Lake is one of the quiet corner's hidden gems yet it is still close to nearby shopping and entertainment. Let our cottage be your home away from home as you relax and unwind!
