The house is large and well maintained and equipped. The view is sooo relaxing. It’s close enough to downtown historic Tarpin Springs to be convenient, but far enough to be quiet. Very clean.

This property was just as described but better! It was truly a beautiful retreat!! There was absolutely nothing we needed to go out and buy other than groceries!! Renay definitely puts a lot of time and care into her property! Our son and his family stayed with us for a few days and the kids room was definitely a game changer!! The 2 littles were never bored!! The spa and pool were amazing and so relaxing! The lake view is absolutely stunning and sunrise is definitely worth the early wake up! We’ll definitely be back!!

Better than expected

This property is gorgeous! The pictures online do not do it justice. From the quality of the finishings to the beautiful view overlooking the lake, it’s everything you could want for a relaxing vacation. We would highly recommend and come here again.

FABULOUS GETAWAY

Could not felt more at home. The average household does not have what is available to make your getaway GR8. You would have to see it yourself. A must place for a few couples to have aGR8 time. Host was amazing...... Had a minor problem with the internet called and she took care of it in about an hour. WILL ant can't wait will do it again.Thanks so much RenayTommy & Lucille Charlie & Michelle

Relaxing stay at a gorgeous, immaculate home

This is one of the best stays we've had at a VRBO! The communication was timely, clear, and concise, the home was even more beautiful in person than in the pictures, and everything was very clean, organized, and incredibly well-stocked. They literally thought of everything! We were just in town for a soccer weekend, but since we brought two of our four kids with us and a third drove up from college in Ft Myers, we opted for renting a home over getting a hotel so everyone could have their own space, and this house turned a mundane soccer weekend into a little vacation:) My husband and I, along with our youngest daughter, sat out on the dock with our coffee/tea/juice on a simply perfect, relaxed Saturday morning, and we could've stayed there for hours...it was so peaceful! We ate at one of the recommended waterfront restaurants on Friday night, but we were enjoying the house so much, we decided to order in Saturday night, watch a movie, and sit in the hot tub. Quite simply a perfect stay. Thank you!

Excellent!!! Cannot say enough about the house and amenities. The kitchen and pantry made everything easier to save some money and cook at home. Tons of space for separate families or different ages to enjoy and relax. On top of that the house was beautifully decorated making it feel it even more special. 10/10 would book again.

About the host

Host profile image
Being a host is one of the most rewarding parts of owning the Lakehouse Retreat. It brings me so much joy to welcome families and friends into a space designed for connection, relaxation, and lasting memories. I've carefully created a peaceful retreat where guests can unplug from the everyday, gather with the people they love, and celebrate life's special moments. My hope is that every stay feels comfortable, meaningful, and leaves you with memories you'll treasure long after you head home.
