It was my first experience with Vrbo! The host made it seem effortless! The house was a home! We will definitely be back next year! I loved the tranquility! A great place to get away from it all. I can’t say enough good things!

Just like home with benefits!!

Walked in and just felt so comfortable and welcomed. Very clean, everything was provided. Being right on the canal with the boat house was really convenient. Was supposed to go in September but due to hurricanes we had to reschedule and the host was so easy to work with. Communication was exceptional. Will definitely be back.

Fabulous

Wonderful place to stay. Walk into a very inviting, cozy yet plenty of room home right on the canal. Super peaceful and quiet at the end of the canal. Literally 2 minutes from the dock to the lake and about 7 minutes to the boat ramp via car and boat. Home is very clean with everything you would need for your stay. The owner is a phone call away if for any reason you would need anything at all. Susie stayed in ťouch with us often before check-in to make sure everything went smooth. Super nice and kind person. I would highly suggest this place to stay.

Great Fishing Shack

Good, Timely communication from property manager. House as described, close to boat ramp, boat lift worked great. House was tidy and clean. Starter packs of all items needed (coffee, paper towels, etc.) were unexpected and a nice touch. Brothers and I enjoyed a quick weekend get away. Good access to lake, was nice to keep the boat on the water.

The Relaxation is for REEL

Awesome stay in a really peaceful place. Great space with lots of room to stretch out. Everything you need is supplied and the house is very clean. Susie was amazing with cimmunication beforehand, answering any questions, and making sure everything is perfect for your stay. The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet, and safe, and awesome fishing right out back (lots of panfish, and turtles come to visit you too). Our experience was great and we could ask for anything more. Dont hesitate to book and be ready to relax, fish, and be extra comfy for your entire stay.

Fishing and relaxing

From start to finish our time staying at this home was outstanding. The property owner was in contact well before our schedule time, informing me of any details and even a current fishing report. The home was spotless and very clean. All beds were very comfortable and great A/C witch is nice after fishing these hot days. The location is perfect very close to the boat ramp too. I only regret is I’d wished we had booked our stay longer, this place is the best.

So Glad We Came

What a gem! If you are looking for fancy, you won’t find it here. But you will find comfort galore, wrapped up in quirky and whimsical charm and decorations. Every day I’d see something new that would catch my eye. The layout is designed with multiple areas of inside living with a screened in lanai perfect for enjoying the lake front action. The fenced in yard let our pup enjoy her outside fun too, without getting too close to the water. We totally enjoyed our stay. Found everything we needed here and more and will definitely come back and stay again.

Great House

We had a great trip and stay at the property. The house was as described, very clean. The owners were very communicative and super nice, plus all the fishing tips! I think they caught more fish off the back of the house in the canal then at the Lake. My daughter loved feeding the turtles.

Comfortable and Cozy!

This house was perfect for our trip to the Sebring area to visit family and have fun fishing. The house was quite clean and the layout was perfect, with large living areas looking out on the canal. When we weren’t fishing or visiting family we spent our time on the large porch watching the many species of water birds. We brought our boat and it was so fun and easy to just go out in the back and get on the boat. The best description is comfortable - the house is very comfortable. We will definitely plan to come back next year!

About the host

Hosted by Susie Roscoe

Host profile image
We're a family of 4 ~ our 2 sons LOVE to fish! We bring our dogs and enjoy the laid back lifestyle that comes with it. While our boys are finishing up high school and college we're sharing this piece of Heaven with you.

Why they chose this property

We rented 'this house' 5 times and had to have it when the owner decided to sell. This place holds the memories of some of our best family vacations ~ BIG FISH STORIES ~ Home cooked meals shared around the table - We LOVED it here! We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did! We've since added WIFI so you're as connected as YOU want to be.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy our home vs. a fish camp where you have limited space and privacy. Enjoy a fully covered & secured dock with lift for your boat and gear. You're always minutes away from being on the lake with everything at your fingertips vs. prep time required to go.
