About this property

This unique lakefront property offers privacy, tranquility, comfort and that “Old Florida” feeling among the oak and pine trees all while set in the middle of Brandon. The beautiful outdoors may be enjoyed through the screened-in porch, Adirondack chairs that you can take down to the lake, a pontoon boat (tied to the shore) to hang out on, a picnic table and more. The sunset colors over the lake are something to be experienced!

Inside you will find an immaculately kept home with an open concept kitchen/living room flooded with natural light from the vaulted ceiling skylights and large windows with stunning views of the lake. You will see wildlife of all kinds such as owls, osprey, turtles, raccoons, egrets and others. Enjoy the Italian leather couches, a beautiful dining table that seats 6 and cozy queen beds which have all been curated for your comfort. One bedroom has lake views and the other has views of the 1.5 acre property. We have a nice BBQ grill and other features to make you feel completely at home.

This property has the unique feature where you feel like you’re in the country but you are in the heart of Brandon. Within 1 mile you can find anything you need for restaurants, groceries, shopping malls ... and I-75/I-4 access is minutes away. It is only 20 minutes to downtown Tampa with all that it has to offer such as the Amalie Arena, Channel Side, Bayshore, Tampa Riverwalk and Ybor City. Orlando (and Disney World) is about an hour away. Please read our reviews and you will fall in love with this property.

There is a blow up mattress if needed, that can be used in the living room.

Please reach out if you have any questions.

Close to everything

Great place to stay for our very busy vacation with daily activities planned throughout the entire Florida Central West region. Easy check in and we settled right in. Tidy comfortable home tucked away in a safe private quiet location. Lots of good restaurants and shopping nearby, convenient to airport and major highways. We will stay again when we return to the area.

Peaceful Haven on the Lake

We REALLY enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view of the lake. We felt at home. Very soft Ialian leather couches, comfy beds, high ceilings and skylights. Adirondack chairs to relax in. Nice grill. Quiet. Clean. Tons of privacy but near everything. "Old Florida" charm just a short drive from Tampa. Highly recommend.

Comfy home-away-from home

Large, well-maintained guest house. Owner was not on premises so very private and secluded - but close enough to restaurants, stores, etc. to be convenient. Loved waking up looking at the lake every morning. Although signs warn of alligators, we never saw any. Enjoyed the screened-in porch. We would love to stay again next year.

Outstanding experience!

What a peaceful retreat in the midst of the city! Loved sitting at the picnic table on the lake under the old trees in the back yard, at the same time being right there for errands and shopping. Dining options are abundant and all minutes away. The rental is the guest part of a larger house, but the owners aren’t there when you rent it. The only other neighboring house was only occasionally checked on shortly by older people. Also, there’s an apartment complex very close but not directly noticeable. Video surveillance of entrance and driveway added to our feeling safe, but backyard and lakefront were completely private. Given its location, we heard the occasional muscle car, fire truck and a train line, but the sounds actually faded into a background concert of civilization that even underlined the remarkable peacefulness of this place. Managers are great and super-nice. In terms of cleanliness, the place was absolutely impeccable. All you need to know is summed up in an informative guest folder. House rules are totally natural, and knowing what damage stuff can do to a pumping system, we totally understand why it’s not only stated in the kitchen but also where it matters. Mentioning these things also since we wanted to clarify what caught our eyes in the other reviews. We can only recommend this place wholeheartedly - many thanks for sharing your house! This place is truly a gem, and a well-kept island of Old Florida within the growing urbanity around.

Peaceful retreat.

Our three days staying here before leaving on our cruise was a true joy. It is a quiet and peaceful spot in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city you would never know was there unless you were looking for it. The property was exactly as described and we would not hesitate to stay again on our next trip to the Tampa area.

Overall HORRIBLE experience!

My girlfriend and I were taking my 80 year old grandmother on a day trip. When we arrived after a 3 hour car ride, we realized there was no code given to access the lockbox and we all had to pee! The host finally called us back after 10 minutes and told us the owner wants him to “meet everyone” before giving access to the house - guess if he doesn’t “approve” of you he can turn you away!? We waited 25 minutes for him to show up, it was 85 degrees, and again, we all had to pee. Turns out there was a key just hanging in an electrical box right there the whole time - it wasn’t even in the lockbox! He said that the lockbox was for his wife’s key!? There was no reason for my grandmother to wait outside in the heat! He proceeded to give us a “grand tour” of the home, and read to us the list of rules POSTED IN THE KITCHEN. I felt very untrusted and watched from the moment we arrived. All we wanted to do was decompress and get our vacation started. We rushed him out the door and left because we wanted to get dinner. We returned at 10:30 pm and realized the host never handed the key to me, it was still sitting wherever he put it down in the house. We tried calling over and over and got NO ANSWER until the next morning! He stressed to us at least 5 times to “please call if we needed anything”, but apparently he turns his phone off at 9. I don’t think that 10:30 pm on a holiday weekend is a very unreasonable time to call. If someone is renting your property maybe keep your phone on!? I ended up making a small slit in the screen door on the back porch to get in. Thankfully the back door was unlocked. After we finally got in after AN HOUR of sitting outside in the dark we realized there was NO RUNNING WATER!! We couldn’t even shower or brush our teeth! There wasn’t even a bottle of water to drink! The host finally texted me at 7 am saying that “people lock themselves out all the time” and he forgot to turn the water pump on!? I wouldn’t have used the shower anyway because the shower head was covered in red mold! He was so thorough with everything else but FORGOT TO TURN THE WATER ON!? Absolutely mind-blown. As a property manager myself, I don’t EVER have my phone turned off and I certainly wouldn’t leave an elderly woman sit outside in the heat. He offered me a heavy discount on a future stay and later charged me $90 for the screen. Never mentioned that fee while I was there, so I could have fixed it myself for $10.

Lakehouse in Brandon

This is a lovely 2 bedroom and 1.5 bath guesthouse in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood of Brandon. The house sits on a small lake that encourages birds and other wildlife to have their fun. It was a great stay. Property management was very responsive and good to work with.

Comfortable, relaxing, and clean

This property is well kept and very clean with large windows to view the beautiful lake. There is a screened-in porch with comfortable chairs to enjoy morning coffee, or you can sit outside at the picnic table or on provided lawn chairs. It is a relaxing spot to return to after a busy day in the area. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of pots, pans, dishes, glasses, and utensils. We would stay here again.
