Awesome house and communication.

The place was beautiful and extremely clean. The only note I had was that it is a little older so the water takes a little longer to heat up and it is a little hot during the day but the guy who rented us the property dropped the air down as soon as I texted him. This person is super responsive and extremely kind. We would be glad to rent from this Vendor again. Very spacious and clean and they provided sweet extras like coffee and such.

Thank you very much Crystal! We hope you enjoyed your stay and apologize for any issues with our hot water heater. I once lived in the home and understand completely where you are coming from on that. We are grateful to hear that you enjoyed your time in Lakeland and thank you so much for leaving a review! We hope to host you again in the future!! Best regards, Jacob
