Another wonderful stay at the lake

This home is well-furnished and well-equipped. The house has everything you could possibly need to cook, to work or watch tv. But the best part is the lake, the yard and the screened in porch. Swimming, paddling, floating or just watching the gorgeous ever-changing sky show this house is perfect for a relaxing, fun vacation.

Peaceful

This home had everything to offer! We took our boat and they had a wakeboard and tubes to pull behind. We enjoyed the corn hole, bon fires, fishing and sunrises. We had a fish fry the last night from all the fish we caught! The house was clean and had everything we needed plus more!

Very comfortable and relaxing!

I have never stayed at a house that was completely stocked with EVERYTHING you could need or want! We brought our little bass boat thinking fishing would be great, however, we had no luck. The house and property was AWESOME tho so we thourougly enjoyed our stay despite the fishing. Very relaxing and quiet!

Perfectly relaxing weekend

My daughter and I stayed here for a couple days to have a special weekend just the 2 of us. We loved snuggling on the big comfy couch, cooking and baking in the newly remodeled kitchen and enjoying the kayaks and boat dock. The home was very clean and decorated cute. The big screened in porch was perfect for my morning coffee and reading my book. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make our meals and bake a cake. We loved everything about our stay and I plan to bring my younger daughter here next year for her special weekend away.

Home away from home!

This is our second stay at this property and such a blessing for our family. We all go 100mph and in opposite directions most days. Having adult children makes it hard to rest and be in one spot at the same time. This home does that for us and we have built so many core memories here. Communication, neighborhood feel, lake view, beach, amenities and the local town vibe is just what our family enjoys. Thank you, Gilberts, for hosting us again! Many blessings, Oedys

Beautiful, peaceful and fun

I love coming to this home. The lake is beautiful and clean and since the lawn is level it is easy to access the water. The little beach is great. Just grab a chair and put your feet in the lake and start to relax. The weather was perfect for my visit. The home is well- appointed, beds comfy, kitchen great, tv and wifi excellent, but the screened in porch is the best The view is fabulous 24/7. The owners are gracious and communication is excellent and easy. Neighborhood is quiet, friendly and safe. A fabulous rental.

Happy repeat guest

I love coming to this property. The home is lovely and the owners are gracious and responsive. The screened in porch is fabulous and the view amazing. The lake is great for swimming and boating and the neighborhood is quiet and safe. You can be as active or as lazy as you want here. There are kayaks, bikes, and floats. There is a fire circle for campfires and an outdoor grill. If you ever do go inside, the tv and wifi are great and the kitchen has everything you’ll need if you want to prepare meals. I had another relaxing stay here at this special place.

About the host

Hosted by Lewis & Joan Gilbert

Host profile image
We live in Fort Lauderdale, FL and love spending time at our Lake House Get-Away.
We are a fun-loving family with 3 wonderful children. Some of our favorite memories include time at the lake with Family members and Friends.

Why they chose this property

Well maintained, comfortable and spacious lake front home. All that you need is provided for a wonderful, relaxing get-away. Don't miss spending time at night on the dock star-gazing. The night sky is so clear, the stars are unbelievably bright and visible! A Jon Boat & 2 Kayaks with paddles and life vests are available for your use to "catch your dinner." Friendly small town folks make you feel at home whether dining at the best breakfast diner we've ever found or shopping at Publix. Several good restaurants are less than 10 minutes away. Great bike paths are close by and we provide 2 bikes!

What makes this property unique

A quiet street, great for biking and walking. A beautiful lake to enjoy every day. Relax in the screened in porch and watch the world go by including our favorite Sandhill cranes and bald eagles. Light the lakeside fire pit and enjoy an old fashioned evening making s'mores, we even have the sticks to roast the marshmallows! Inside, you can also appreciate the ambiance of dining by a fire with a wonderful view of the lake from just about anywhere in the house!
