We really enjoyed our stay at Serenity on Success! Plenty of space and rooms for everyone to have privacy and room to get ready. We were very close to downtown and Lake Hollingsworth. Beautiful area and home, I’m so glad we were able to book here!

Everything was great! There was more than enough room for us and the kitchen had everything we needed for the two nights we cooked in the house. The host was also very responsive with check in and during our stay when we had a question!

Amazing stay!
We were in town for a college graduation and Serenity on Success Avenue was the perfect place for our extended family. Large enough to fit everyone easily, close enough to walk to the college and lots of great restaurants nearby. The kids loved the game table and having their own space on the top floor and the adults loved the comfy family room and walks through the charming neighborhood. Will definitely stay here again when back in Lakeland!
Property was very clean, well maintained and perfectly situated for our needs. Would 100% stay again. Hosts were very accommodating and easy to work with.

Lakeland Thanksgiving
We had a wonderful time in Lakeland and this home was perfect for our needs. We were only a few miles away from my nieces home , making it convenient to spend time together. We also were able to host breakfast for the Turkey Trotters. We will always consider this home for future family events in Lakeland.
Thanks
The Georgia family members!!
Great location and really nice place. We had 7 adults and 1 child and the place accommodated us easily. We had a fun filled weekend catching spring training baseball in Tampa and Lakeland.Will stay here again if opportunity allows.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, David! We're thrilled to hear that you found Serenity on Success Avenue to be a great location and a really nice place for your group. It's fantastic to know that the property accommodated all 7 adults and 1 child comfortably. We're glad you had a fun-filled weekend catching spring training baseball in Tampa and Lakeland. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another fantastic stay in the future if the opportunity allows!
Overall a really nice place. Centrally located. The house is huge and could easily support more than the 12 person limit. Plenty of dishes and utensils, which is always a concern at these types of rentals. Cookware was sufficient and in good shape. Only a couple minor gripes: Mattresses are extremely firm. There are not nearly enough places to hang towels to dry.
We had a great time in this house. Close to things and the surroundings were amazing - beautiful lake and houses! We felt safe walking and loved that we could sleep all of us so comfortably- enjoyed sitting on the deck and visiting - we will be back!

Charming big house
This house is in a great neighborhood and has lots of charm. It's an older home with all the amenities of a newer home but so much personality. Plenty of space, great location!

We stayed at this home for an even in the area and it was perfect for our group! The property manager was very quick with their responses and the house was very clean and spacious.
House can accommodate alot of people although the layout is a little quirky. The front of the house is blocked by foliage so hard to spot from the street. The street is busy and an exercise class of joggers woke us up at 6:30am on Saturday morning, other than that, it was a great lication.jjoggers r

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're glad to hear that you found the house spacious and enjoyed the location. We appreciate your comments & our team will certainly look into it. Many thanks for booking with us and we hope to welcome you back soon!
What a beautiful home! Loved all of the hard wood floors, intricate molding and wainscotting! This home had the homey feel of the past with the updates of today. The decorating was just perfect. The house was very clean and all bedrooms were very spacious. The kids had an upstairs play/sleep area, which was perfect for the adults to hang out downstairs. Wish we could have stayed longer!

So happy to hear you guys enjoyed the home! You were a pleasure to host! We welcome you back any time! Have a blessed holiday!
This home was just right for a reunion place with out of town relatives coming in. The home has a good feel and is well kept. The neighborhood is safe and the kitchen well equipped, appliances in good condition and some looking new. The beds were comfortable and the decor is nice and clean. It is an older home that has a lot of class and we all enjoyed staying there a lot- the reunion turned out great and the home sure facilitated that. The manager kept in good communication and did her job well.
Our group of ten slept comfortably at Serenity on Success, with room for one or two others if we had needed. The big table, living room, porches and open spaces were great to gather, while doors separating the upstairs bedrooms kept everyone sleeping peacefully once ready to tuck in for the night. It was a rare cold front during our stay, and we had some trouble with the heating unit, however the team was very responsive and sent someone out immediately to fix it, making it no worries to us.They had many towels, comfy beds, and plenty of dishes in the kitchen.Our group comes to Lakeland every year for a meeting, and a few people have already noted we should bookmark this spot to come again!

Rip off
When my employees checked in the house had not been cleaned ahead time from the previous people that stayed. The property owned charged my guys for getting the curtains dirty which were already dirty before they arrived. They claimed my guys wrote on the walls which is something I find highly unlikely for a grown man to do. The garbage cans were all full so there was no where to dispose of the household trash. For this owner to charge me almost $400 for things that were done before our stay is ridiculous being as nobody checked the property before my guys arrived.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We however have a different perspective on the stay that included your crew of 8 men at our home & not you personally.
At Success & all of our other homes managed by iTrip, we pride ourselves on maintaining a clean and well-inspected home for all our guests. Our property is thoroughly cleaned and inspected before each stay to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and comfort.
However, we must address that upon departure of your crew of 8 that there were significant issues reported that indicate the home was not treated with the care and respect we expect from our guests including but not limited to stained and ruined bedding & towels that could no longer be used in the home and having to be replaced, trash left throughout the home upon departure, broken items in the kitchen and the list goes on. This behavior is not in line with our house rules and impacts the quality of the experience for future guests.
We understand that there may have been misunderstandings from what your crew tells you, but photos are worth 1,000 words.
Thank you for your understanding.
