We had such a wonderful stay! The house is very comfortable and very clean. The hosts were attentive although we didn’t need anything because all the details were already considered for us. The sunrises were spectacular and we very much enjoyed all the bird and wildlife viewing on the lake. The house is conveniently located to many area attractions including Tampa and its beaches. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

The home is a treat. It is well stocked so you don’t have to run to the store after a long trip to Lakeland. The hosts are so helpful, if needed, and gave great local tips. I feel like we’d be friends if I lived in Fla! We saw the big gator(Alli G is what we call him), sat by the pool in comfy furniture, played chess and corn hole, contemplated pickleball and loved the frother so much I ordered the same coffee maker on the third day! I really can’t list all the amenities…it’s everything you need and more. The home was spotless and easy to keep straight. I loved walking through the front door and having an unobscured view of the water. This is truly one of the best home rentals. I would stay here anytime I’m back in the area. Book and enjoy with confidence.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi, We're you're hosts Launi and Joe! What feeds our soul? Great food, music, being on the water, spending time with family and friends, exploring new areas and planning the next adventure.

Why they chose this property

The Edgewater Beach neighborhood is quiet and established. Lake Parker is a haven for fishermen, bird watchers, and nature explorers. Very near to downtown Lakeland and it's many parks, historic districts and wonderful local restaurants and shopping.

What makes this property unique

Water's Edge has stunning views of Lake Parker and the home sits just feet away. It's peaceful and so relaxing. This is the exhale you needed.

Please be aware, Water's Edge is on the water's edge. You will be close to wildlife, including alligators. Important, do not let small children or pets near the lake. Be cautious during twilight and night time when wildlife can be more active.

Also, certain times of the year, lake front properties can have large hatches of midge flies, referred to locally as blind mosquitos. They are not mosquitos, and they don't bite, but can be bothersome. Water's Edge is sprayed regularly. This helps but large hatches can interfere with outdoor activity. We have just installed a big, beautiful screen enclosure over the pool area.

Lake life is beautiful. Watching nature close up is rewarding. Lake life comes with its own unique challenges. We want you to come to Water's Edge prepared, so you can have the best stay possible.

If you have any questions, please let us know. We would love to hear from you.
