We were visiting our daughter at Florida Southern, and this location is very close to the college. The house is clean and comfortable, and it had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.
Stayed at this Lakeland vrbo for a family wedding. It was a great location, only a short drive to downtown Lakeland. Loved being near the lake and taking advantage of the walkway around it. The place was perfect for our family to stay together. The kitchen was well stocked especially for morning beverages. Plenty of towels and toiletries were provided. Loved the renovated decor of the house. Such an enjoyable stay. Highly recommend this listing!
The house is well kept, very clean, and super comfortable. I appreciate the thought put into providing amenities for families with young children. We also loved all the coffee options!
This was the perfect stay in Lakeland! The property and home was beautiful, cozy and clean. The rooms and bathrooms are a great size and the hosts were prompt with responses and helped with anything we needed. Highly recommend staying here, especially for a larger group like we had!
Everything was terrific!! The place is beautiful, Plenty of space, comfortable furniture. Location was amazing. Hoping to get next year for our Annual Conference.
Beautiful home and perfect location! We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a home rental in Lakeland. The home renovations were well done and made us feel like we were staying in a hotel.

Thank you Melissa for your kind words. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to host you again soon 😊
This home is so beautiful and comfortable. We stayed for 5 nights while we moved our daughter in Florida Southern College. The property is extremely close to the college, in a beautiful neighborhood with great views of Lake Hollingsworth! We would definitely stay again!
Myself and 3 other co-workers stayed at this property for several days. It was the perfect location to relax and get a good bite to eat after a long day of work. It's right next to Lake Hollingsworth, which was perfect for mornings walks or runs. I would definitely recommend this property to family and friends.
What a wonderful place. The house was very clean. Very roomy. It has a great view of Lake Hollingsworth, which has a 3 mile walking trail around it. It is in a very nice area which is centrally located. Nothing bad to say about property

We appreciate your kind feedback and hope to host you again soon ❤️
We stayed for a week while a group of us were in Lakeland for classes at SEU. It was a perfect location- less than 10 min to campus and the lake was truly a gift. There is a trail all the way around and we walked or ran morning and evening. Beautiful sunsets on the front of the lawn overlooking the lake and the backyard is peaceful too. The house is updated and clean and had everything we needed to make meals and enjoy our stay. The host was very responsive and easy to work with. We have already booked to stay again on our next visit to Lakeland.
