Strawberry Festival

Celebrated my daughter’s 25 birthday with a much anticipated trip to the Strawberry Festival. Festival was fun, tried so many TikTok food recommendations and discovered a few on our own. Had a day trip to Clearwater Beach, visited Circle B Bar Reserve and explored a few other areas. Loved Fred’s for brunch, had Pub Subs for dinner one night and tried Culver’s too. Communication with host was awesome! Had a great trip!

Home Rental in Lakeland With heated pool and amenities.

We had an amazing stay at this property in Lakeland! The house was perfect—clean, comfortable, and full of thoughtful amenities. The hosts went above and beyond, providing snacks, condiments, bathroom kits, and soaps, which made us feel right at home. The kids loved the variety of games available, and the warm pool was a huge hit, especially on cooler days. The host was incredibly responsive and quick to address any questions or needs, which made the experience even better. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay and would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a fantastic getaway. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable!

Great Location, Clean, and Well-stocked

Our group was comprised of adults and small children. The house had every thing we needed. Tons of space! Lots of extras we benefitted from like: high chair, pack n play, snacks, plenty of towels, well-stocked kitchen and toiletries. The home was very clean which was very important to us with a one year old that crawled everywhere. The pool alarm was a great feature as well as the fun games. Our communication with the owners was very positive. Their responses were very prompt. We will definitely be returning!

Great Property

I rented this house for a few of my employees while we had a job in The Lakeland area. The property was great, and had all of the amenities of home. It is also situated conveniently for shopping, and a brand-new Publix within about a mile. Easy access to I-4 makes travel to Tampa or Orlando convenient.

Nicely Maintained Property

Perfect stay for my family of 4. House was very clean and nice. My son enjoyed the old school Nintendo and my daughter enjoyed the heated pool even with the weather in the low 60’s. The owners made it easy to check in and out. WiFI worked well so I could catch up on work and the proximity of the house to my wife’s family made it the perfect spot to spend Christmas at. Thanks for the great experience and would recommend this property to anybody .

This is tucked away in a neighborhood but not far from many restaurants and golf courses. This home made our vacation enjoyable! It was very clean, comfortable and had a full kitchen with basic supplies we did not have to run out for. The backyard with the pool was very relaxing. Our hosts were very accommodating.

Amazing Rental, Super Quiet, Clean and Safe!

Stayed here with my teens for a short four day get-away from the cold of NJ. Tasha was very responsive to all our needs. The property was well maintained, very quiet, and quite spacious. I would highly recommend this if you wish to stay close to Tampa/Orlando area but want to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city. Supermarket was very close to the house and so were a few restaurants. My teens said this was the best part of our trip and we all know that they do not give out compliments easily. Would definitely stay here again, thank you!

First time staying in Lakeland!

If I could give 6 stars I would! Not that everything was perfect, however, our host was above and beyond perfect! Tasha has been great to deal with ever since we booked a year ago. There were so many great perks at this place, fluffy towels, outdoor decorations, spices, snacks, plenty of cooking utensils, well stocked cleaning supplies, bathroom tissue, paper towels. Hell, she even threw a 12 pack of beer in the fridge for me!! 42 days of a Slice of Paradise and I was in the pool 42 straight days. THANK YOU TASHA!! We will be back if we can make it happen.

Peaceful Gem

This is your home away from home. It is spacious, nicely decorated and the furniture is very comfortable. The kitchen has all your essentials from making a cup of coffee or cooking a meal. There is a variety of tea to choose from so if you are a tea drinker you won't be disappointed. The snacks, variety of oatmeal and cold water bottles in the refrigerator are a nice welcome after traveling to give you a little pick me up. The pool is a great spot for spending a few hours or the whole day. There is a an air hockey table and several board games to play. Travel softball brought us to Lakeland and with rain delays and hot weather it was nice to come back to this home. We made a lot of new memories as a family. There are not enough words to describe the excellent service and communication we received from Tasha and Danny. My one child has a medical condition and in less the 3 hours they made accommodations(that they didn't have to do) to help make our stay top notch. There are a lot of food and retail options nearby.If your looking for your home away from home look no further!
