AMAZING!

This home was absolutely beautiful to stay in. Although we stayed outside most of the time on the beautiful beach and in the large screened porch, the house was great as well. Plenty of space for a family to enjoy. We did not even leave the property; with plenty to do right there on the beach; our family went on the kayak, stand up board and fished from the peddle boat, caught 30! We were very happy with our selection of this home! The sunset will not disappoint. Owners were pleasure to meet and immediately available. This is a must visit again longer next time home!

Great Lake House

Had a great time at this property with my family. We visit Florida every year and this was our first time staying here. Couple things to note that I didnt see in the description or check in details: 1. A gate code is needed to get to the house/driveway. Luckily the owner was nearby upon arrival so that worked out. 2. The house (bathrooms mainly) could use a good deep cleaning. 3. Owners are very responsive. We had an issue with the outdoor hose and it was addressed early the next day. We enjoyed the canoe, bags game, volleyball, lake and sunset views, etc! Would recommend this home to others!

Another Fantastic Week on Lake Weir!

This was our second year booking this house and taking our Grandkids (and great-grands) for time at the Lake. It is so wonderful for all ages! We launched our boat nearby no problem and kept it anchored in 2 ft water the whole time with no issues. The older kids loved paddling over to Gator Joes and tubing.The younger one loved the beach and the clear shallow water. The porch was the perfect gathering place for mornings and after sundown. The umbrella for the table in the water was great sun relief after a couple of days. Thanks Joe & Whitney for the stay. We are already planning our 2024 Lake trip!

Family Lake Trip

The lake house accommodated our family well. Everyone had their own space and the back porch and yard is where we spent most of our time. The sandy beach area was shallow and good for young kids and pets to play. We enjoyed cooking our meals in the kitchen and grilling outside. I would recommend bringing propane if you plan to use the grill and we did have to clean it before use. There is a nearby Publix to purchase any groceries or necessities and two lake front restaurants, which were both very good.
