Perfect home for our group of friends/family

My employees and I stayed at Emerald Anchor Escape with our families for a team bonding. The space was great. We enjoyed grilling by the pool and hanging around the fire pit. We will definitely return for another stay.

Awesome Family Getaway!

This place was so great for our blended family to celebrate thanksgiving in! The pool was great with a firepit and a lake across the street. This house is a perfect mix of older charm with modern convenience. For a family with all ages we all enjoyed our stay. The bedrooms were spacious and nice for family to have their own space. The game room upstairs was great with games, puzzles and the ping pong table. We really felt at home and enjoyed our stay! I highly recommend this place for a great family getaway!

A unique property

This house is eclectic, with unique bedrooms and decor. Our grandkids range from 6 to 15 and all were excited to stay there. The only real issue was that the pool turned green during our stay (pollen likely contributed). The response to my call was prompt and addressed the problem although the water stayed cloudy for the entire stay.We enjoyed our stay and would certainly return.

Life saver

It was my son’s wedding and because life happens fast I waited too long to find a place close to the venue that accommodated my 14 peeps. I found this beautiful house that fit all of us. It was beautiful! Thank you for having us and saving the day!

Our Stay at Lake Howard

Absolutely amazing stay! This 6-bedroom, 4-bath home in Winter Haven exceeded all expectations. The house was spacious, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The pool was a highlight—perfect for both kids and adults to enjoy throughout our stay. The location was ideal, close to downtown Winter Haven and local amenities while still feeling private and serene. Communication with the host was seamless, and they were incredibly accommodating and attentive. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Winter Haven. We’ll definitely be returning!”
