Place was very clean and presentable. Extremely clean and well maintained. Cute and cozy little place.

We chose Stephen and Mary's lovely casita so we could check out the RV resort where they live. Even though they weren't able to greet us in person, we felt welcomed. The casita was lovely, clean and the perfect location in the resort. We even were able to add another night by contacting them while they were on vacation. The resort is still quite young and many of the winter residents have gone home for the summer, but the ones that were there were so friendly. Because of being able to stay in their casita we were able to get a feel for the resort and ended up buying a lot of our own. Looking forward to meeting Stephen and Mary and the rest come fall.

LOVED the place, super nice host & hostess, GREAT pool made me never want to leave. If you are staying a long time just be warned there isn't a ton of space. This casita is so cute. We LOVED it. Not far from Disney but traffic was a challenge. Great place to just swim and unwind.

Absolutely wonderful experience. The place was perfect for just myself, but could easily have accommodated another 3 adults. Everything inside is new and very clean. With a full compliment of amenities in the rental, I was able to surf the web, shower, cook, and do laundry, all in the comfort and privacy of my own resort style rental unit. The club house, a short walk behind the rental, is very nice with a game room, exercise space, and pool & hot tub. The rental isn't close to much, so you'll need a car, but it's completely worth the short ౩0ish minute commute to the Orlando theme parks if you want a more down tempo, relaxing, crowd free place to decompress between days at the parks. Steve and Mary are fantastic hosts who are genuinely kind and welcoming. Enjoy your time at the Cheery Casita, if you're lucky enough to get a chance to stay there.

Really appreciated the cleanliness, the little touches (condiments in the kitchen!), drinks in the fridge, and the (non-invasive) friendliness of the hosts. We were very comfortable and had an excellent time. Definitely recommend!

My husband and I were blown away with the quaint Cheery Casita on Lake Mattie. The web pics do not do this place justice. It is more beautiful and precious in person and has such a sweet feel to it. We absolutely loved our night and will definitely return for a longer stay. Stephen and Mary were the perfect hosts in every way. It was fantastic meeting them and other residents of this active and friendly community. Mark & Tammy Johnson

The Cherry Casita is definitely Clean, Comfy and Cozy!!! The community is Serene and Secure! As previous reviews stated...the pictures don't do it justice. It is beautiful! Absolutely no complaints and we definitely recommend this place 100%. Don't take my word for it come and experience this Hidden Gem!

Absolutely beautiful, clean and cozy place. Very detailed and well taken care of! Stephen and Mary were responsive and easy to communicate with and greeted my son and I warmly. We enjoyed our stay at their beautiful little home. Highly recommended!

A great place to be able to enjoy a cup of coffee while gazing out over the lake. Clean and comfy.

I came to central Florida to watch my son and his college baseball team play spring break games in the RussMatt Invitational. Most of the games where at Lake Myrtle Sports Complex. Maria's home is located about 2 miles from the complex and about the same from I4. The location was perfect for me. Maria's home is new and the guest room was impeccably clean and comfortable. Maria is a wonderful host and made sure I had everything I needed along with some great conversation that was had. I hope too be coming back next spring for more baseball and will book another stay at Maria's

Clean Bedroom & Bathroom. It has plenty of room for a couple. There is a microwave, small refrigerator, iron & ironing board in the closet.

This home was perfect for our needs - less than an hour from Disney (faster if there's no traffic). Everything felt brand new, and the hosts were very welcoming. We enjoyed it - thanks for having us!

Very clean home, with a very nice host. A great value, I would recommend this place to anyone. I'm sure I will be back! Thanks for a wonderful stay.

My stay was very relaxing. I came to the area for a certification course and had a ton of work to do. I had my own section in this big house and came home every night to a very quiet and comfortable room. Maria and her husband are sooo nice and we had some good conversations. I saw them once during my stay and Maria vlwas very communicative via text. Maria was lovely and made me some soup and salad so I wouldn't have to worry about dinner and I could focus on studying. I highly recommend staying if you have anything planned in the area.

Maria is lovely. The room and bathroom are clean and the bed is very comfortable. I wasn't expecting the room to be as big as it is.

A beautiful private room and bathroom that is partitioned from the rest of the their house for all the privacy that you need. I really love the modern touch to the place. Thanks again to Maria for such a great stay!

Very clean, comfortable place with everything you need away from home. Bob was a great host.

For those that look for adventure and quietness. Bob's location fulfilled and exceeded my and my children's expectations. As a host, Bob was fast in answer our questions and assist our needs. We will return again! Thank you Bob!

We had the pleasure of being the first guests at Bob's newest BnB. It is a private compound on his property and we were given as much space and privacy as we wanted with Bob being only a text message away if we needed anything. The compound is situated between Orlando and Tampa which allowed us to make day trips to all the local attractions while being able to return in the evening to peace and tranquility. Something we greatly appreciated after the insanity of the roads around Tampa and Orlando. We were surrounded by land and animals at the compound. Being from a rural setting it was wonderful to have that. The compound consists of 2 well equipped campers. A smaller one that is perfect for a couple and a 26 foot bunkhouse with a private bedroom and 2 full size bunks. Great to shove the kids in if you want a private space to yourself. Being a camp setting most of our cooking was done outdoors. Being experienced campers we were fine with not having the open flames in the campers. Also it's Florida so, to hot to cook inside. You had your choice between charcoal or propane grills. The propane grill was perfect for pan cooking scrambled eggs for breakfast burritos before running off for the day. The compound was comfortable with everything we could need. It is completely enclosed with an attached second compound that can house Bob's sweet little pony or your own fur babies if you are traveling with pets. Currently it is housing the resident squirrel who enjoys running madly around the fence top. We were able to sit out at night and listen to music, have a beer and unwind without worrying about making noise and disturbing the neighbors. There is a outdoor bar area complete with dartboard and hula hoop. There is no smoking in the campers but you are welcome to smoke outside which was fine with those in our group who smoked. Bob and his wife are very sweet. Anything we needed we just had to ask for. They even provided laundry service. We came to relax unwind and conduct some business research. All of which we accomplished without distractions. Well except for the donkey acting out but that was an amusing distraction. Things to consider when booking this BnB. These are campers not homes. Things work differently in campers. If you don't know how to use something ask. You are in the closest thing to the country I have seen here, that means dirt, bugs, cows, chickens, goats, horses and all the joys of being around farms. Remember to remove your shoes when entering the camper or you will be sweeping out sand till the cows switch pastures again. There is no wifi and tv reception is spotty at times. But our phone reception was great. There is no pool or beach. I recommend St Pete beach. It was an hour away and had everything you could want...

Look no further than this home if what you need is a home in the rural of Florida, yet a close enough drive to all packed tourist attractions.Bob was an amazing host from the moment we stated we wanted to rent his home. He took every initiative to be sure we had a great weekend planned out. The purpose for our trip was a few veteran brothers needing a place to be reunited after some years and being connected with nature is just what they asked for. Bobs home is located right outside of a busy city, far enough that you feel like you are in a complete different state. We were checking in on a Friday and were well late due to traffic, thankfully bob was very understanding although he had to go to work and his wife was there to check in our guest as they arrived before us. From the main street, the entrance to their property was lighted with hanged lights and made it stick out at night. Once my husband and I arrived, his wife greeted me with a warm hug and walked me over to the RV's and gated area. Yes, their home is on the lot but don't mind that because the RV's are in their own secluded area of the property. The RV's are cornered together with a fence closing the common sharing area off as well as a similar fenced in area attached to it. The backs of the RV's are facing the home so you cant even see that there is another house on the property while hanging out in the sharing area. My favorite part about the common area has to be the VIEW. While lounging around on one of their provided lawn chairs, id catch myself gazing off into the fair green acres between bobs home and one other home in sight. The only thing to interrupt the view is about 50 barrels of hay and the cover it is under. The space is all you need and more if you are an outside person, with two types of grills for your cooking preference, a bar with two stools that overlooks my favorite open plain, a fire pit that you can tell was hand crafted, and even a dart board in case all the other activities are not enough. The RV's were entirely beautiful and a sight to see on their own. clean, crisp and inviting. Dogs were allowed on the lot but not in the RV, which i preferred, so our friend who brought his dog popped a tent up in the fenced in area next to us and camped out there. The bigger RV had a queen bed, two full size beds, a sofa that laid flat if necessary, a bathroom with sink, toilet and shower, and practically a full size kitchen. (we didn't try cooking in the oven but the stove was perfect enough for scrambled eggs). The other RV was just right for my...

Martha and Steve are awesome hosts! Made me feel welcome immediately. Property as described and super clean. Neighborhood nice quiet residential single family homes.

We were visiting the area for the college RussMatt Baseball Tournment in Central Florida. The location is prime with all the baseball venues. The beach is wonderful for post game relaxation and we even had a fire one night since the weather was not the typical Florida temperatures. The pool was cold but that didn't hold back some of the kids after a double header. This is a new to AirBnB so the host is improving the property as suggestions are made.

If the cleanses of the house is improved a little more, this house will be a great place

First thing I should say is Joe was a wonderful host! He made us feel welcome from the beginning. We were able to vacation just as if we were at home. The home was very clean and had plenty of space for our family of 8. The lake house offered plenty to keep us entertained and we found some fantastic local restaurants on the area lakes. Several great local parks where you can see lots of the Florid wildlife close by. The beach was a little bit of a drive but well worth it! We were able to avoid alot of the commercial tourists attractions which is exactly what we wanted! Our family enjoyed the time together and this house was a perfect place to vacation! We will be returning soon and have already recommended this place to several friends.

I could not have asked for a more perfect venue for my event. I had plenty of elegant space inside, a huge, well stocked kitchen for feeding 20, and 5 1/2 acres of movie quality landscaping. The lake was quiet and peaceful.

The stay at Joe's place was fantastic!!! We had our small wedding there and the venue was stunning. The house itself is very comfortable and joe was extremely helpful. Couldn't have asked for a better venue and we can't wait to go back in the future.

The place is great! Beautiful place, a lot of space. Joe was a great host. The lake is beautiful. Perfect place for multiple families that just want to relax for 3 days and not leave the house.

Amazing quiet location. Lots of great areas for groups to gather and chat. Pool table a real plus. Super comfy king bed in the master and gorgeous lake view to wake up to. We'll be back!

We traveled to Florida in search of warmer weather for a few days before Christmas. In order to narrow down where to go, we decided to gift our 12 year old son with a few days of a high end baseball camp (Doyle Baseball in Lakeland). With that nailed down, we searched within easy drive range of Lakeland for a place we would enjoy with our dog. Joe's place came up with the great pics of dogs by the lake and we were sold! Of course, due to the price being at the high end of our range, I had to spend a few hours looking at seemingly every other dog-friendly rental. In the end, there was no comparison for what we were looking for -- proximity to Lakeland, in range for day trips to Orlando and Tampa, lots of space inside and out to spread out and relax. We really just wanted to be able to go outside in the warm weather and let our dog and kids romp. House and most of the property were well back from the street. Lake "beach" area was nicely separated from neighbors and very inviting. Our dog swam every day! I don't think I saw a picture when I first booked but there is also a nice swimming pool covered for bugs and also with a large shaded area. Lots of living space inside with beautiful pool table and foosball for my husband and older son to play. Beds were comfortable and rooms were well-appointed. Neighborhood was okay for dog walks around the larger lake and it was easy to get everywhere we wanted to go. Really, it was all perfect for us. Four stars instead of five because of cost and wishing things were just a little bit cleaner. However, I know super-immaculate-brand-new does not equal "dogs and kids welcome" so we were happy with the trade off.

Eric is a great host. His place matched the description and the home was clean! Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay in Eric's home. Communication with Eric was very good and he was very accommodating with check in and check out times. Eric welcomed us when we arrived and shared all the information we needed. His home is large and roomy. Kitchen is fully equipped. He was gracious enough to provide many basic items, shampoo, soap, trash bags, coffee, tea and more. Good TV and Wifi. The location was perfect for our purposes and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. Thank you, Eric, for making us feel so comfortable.

This is a great rental home in a wonderful and quiet subdivision. Very close to Auburndale Sports Complex which made it perfect for our trip. Very close to many lakes, shopping and amusement parks as well. Eric is a great host and has stocked this house with all the necessities to make you feel at home during your vacation. Highly recommend and hope to visit again ourselves.

Eric's place was exactly as described. I stayed here the night before my wedding since my venue was in Auburndale. Only downside was not the best lighting (we got our make up professional done here the morning of the wedding) but other than that the place was perfect. Thank you, again, Eric!

Great house! The house was beautiful and clean. Eric was very nice, professional, and communicated well with us before and throughout our stay. If we're ever back in Auburndale we'll be staying here again. Thanks!

Awesome house a block away from a lake and 5 miles from Florida Polytechnic University. We couldn't have asked for a better location and price for the weekend. We'll definitely use this place again if we need to be in Lakeland again. Also only 8.5 miles from downtown Lakeland.

Great house!

It was a perfect stay for our purposes. The house was open, modern, clean and comfortable. I wasn't able to meet Eric because he was away, but he communicated regularly to insure that everything was going well. He was an excellent host and you can tell he wanted us enjoy the stay. Couldn't have worked out better.

Such a beautiful little spot. It was very warm and well decorated. Very clean and welcoming! Janell was more than happy to help us with anything we needed all weekend! I would recommend staying here and promise you wouldn't be disappointed!

Great place loved it

Janell's home is perfect. Quietly located in Lakeland. The place is very clean, neatly decorated and every detail has been thought of. We were traveling for a wedding, but were so relaxed that it was difficult to leave this place. If you are looking for a nice and quiet place between Orlando and Tampa I highly recommend staying at Janell's home.

This was our first airbnb rental and it did not disappoint. It was such a pleasant experience and we appreciated all the extra amenities provided. The ODoniel Place has a real nice setup, it's cute and cozy. We definitely recommend for those visiting the Lakeland area.

Just what we needed! After a long drive and daily activities it was nice to return to a private and comfortable apartment. Janelle included extra toiletries, towels, linens, and local treats! We were not expecting this, but we are so thankful she did. The pictures accurately reflect the apartment's design and layout. We had plenty of space to relax. Janelle left instructions about accessing the wifi and where to find things (cereal, coffee, plates, etc). This was very helpful and allowed us to learn the place quickly. The only surprise was the wonderful smell of Confederate-jasmine that greeted us as we walked upstairs to our private entrance in the evenings. The area is family friendly, quiet, and safe. The property is large with a long driveway, but there are signs directing you. We did not have any problems finding the apartment. Janelle was a great host who was only a phone call or email away.

Definitely enjoyed my stay here. Janell was very helpful, and she communicated very well. The place was extremely clean and nice. This air bnb exceeded my expectations. Janell deserves 5 stars for sure!

Enjoyed our stay so much! Plenty of room for 4 people and it had everything we needed already there. All we had to do was fill the fridge for the kids. Nice area and convenient to everywhere we wanted to get to.

Wonderful communication from host. Several issues with things not working. The awning on the outside would not work. There was a slight odor coming from the bathroom at all times. Most uncomfortable bed that I've ever tried to sleep on. Nice community manager was very helpful. Beautiful view and nice walking area around the lake.

This little RV is truly a gem! We loved our stay there. Everything was clean and looked just like the pictures. The road outside is a little busy but it isn't going to keep you up at night, especially if you're from the city. We were conveniently located between Tampa and Orlando so were able to travel and explore both cities. Would definitely stay here again!

Awesome place! Location was amazing and beautiful. Will definitely go back.

Amazing views! Very spacious. This is my third time with Anna. Super clean, punctual. I would go back again.

Really she is friendly and she gave me all information about the house and answered me by message or calling. Thanks for helping

Anna was awesome... everything was just as we hoped!!

Sweet RV in a small little circle with others and tiny homes. Lake with boat rental included is quite a bonus! Was central to every place we needed to be. Thank you for such an accommodating last minute stay!

The house is incredibly clean, well put together & organized. Tatyana and Caleb are both very friendly, though I we didn't interact much due to work. Thanks!

The home is beautiful and very big. The lake is beautiful and right in the backyard. Alfrd was very prompt in addressing any issuee we had. I would definitely come again.

The host made us feel very welcome, great neighbor and would highly recommend anyone to stay at Alfred's place

Alfred was a great host. We really enjoyed the screened porch. Also, we brought our kayaks and enjoyed being able to walk out and be on the lake in minutes.

A very quiet neighborhood very close to Orlando or Lakeland. The house is very spacious and comfortable. It has been incredible to have a cup of coffee on the terrace watching the wonderful lake waiting to see the eyes of the alligators. You can go walking to a market if you need anything. Alfred and his wife are Great, every thing is easy with them.

Very clean/ if u wanted a scenic view and quit place then this is the place

The house was perfect for what we needed and Alfred couldn't have been nicer!

We enjoyed staying at this place. The kids had a good time. The place is quite, comfortable & Sally was in constant contact before our arrival & even after we checked out. Did not feel like we were staying in a rented accommodation.

Excellent. Good ubication. Close to many places for both purchases and to know whether Tampa, Sarasota, Orlando, space center etc. I loved the house, very clean and beautiful. The area is beautiful and safe. I recommend it. I hope to return again soon and be at Sally's house. Very grateful and satisfied.

This house in Polk City was clean, comfortable and in an excellent location! Sally met us early to see the house and was available any time we called. She even brought us over some fresh eggs from her chickens! We stayed for the entire month of January. There is a nice yard and a table outside on the patio. There was closet and storage space as well as a garage. This home was perfect for our needs and location was excellent. Close to everything you come to Florida for!!

This is a very nice and affordable house. It's not hard to find and has access to food just a few miles away. The only complaint is the locals speed up and down the road. Sally is a very nice and accommodating host. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Nice,cozy, and affordable. Owner is wonder.

The house is great. I like it.

My friends and I had a wonderful experience living in Sally's house. It was a very clean, well-decorated, very lovely house with almost everything. Besides, Sally is a nice and friendly host. We love the place.

Beautiful house and very, very, very quiet neighborhood. Around 35-40 minutes away from Orlando. Sally and her husband were there to welcome us when we arrived . Communication was excellent. My family and I liked to stay here so much. Very good experience. Thank you Sally for everything.

We were visiting family in the area and this was a perfect spot for us to stay with my infant twins and my mother. The home has been newly updated and the kitchen was very well equipped which was important for us as we cooked and ate most of our meals there. The screened in pool area was perfect for hanging out as a family and keeping the kids occupied while adults played cards and chatted. Sue was exceptionally accommodating and even provided an additional portable crib so that I only needed to travel with one. Everything in the home is very clearly laid out and the house manual is very complete. We would definitely stay here again when we visit the area.

A very comfortable home for a family vacation.

Sue was phenomenal to work and very friendly. She went out of her way to help us when we misplaced our keys. I would definitely recommend Sue and this beautiful property to anyone!

The house is great for a family vacation! Great vue, spacious, well maintained and the kids loved the pool! We had such a great time there!!

Great vacation- The house is big, beautiful, and inviting and the scenery is fantastic! This was our first experience with Airbnb (and I was a little nervous about what to expect-pictures on line can be deceiving), but it is definitely a wonderful house (the pictures are REAL!). We would highly recommend it to anyone. Easy booking, easy relaxing stay, easy check-out. Sue is the BEST!

Lake Whistler Hideaway was the perfect house for our recent stay. As we were in town for a tournament at the Lake Myrtle Sports Complex down the road, the location could not have been better. Upon entry my guys thought it looked even better and spacious in person than in the photos. The bedrooms were spacious and well appointed. The beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was not only beautiful with plenty of new appliances but well stocked with tons of silverware, plates, glasses and anything else you may need. We cooked every night with no need to use a utensil for something it wasn't built for. Bathrooms had new, full body towels (better than you would get in any hotel). Plenty of room to relax after our games inside and out. Plus an awesome 60" TV to watch the playoffs on. The best surprise for some of us was the ping pong table in the garage. Other guys on the team that came to visit were jealous or thinking they don't need to stay in a hotel next year. The weather allowed for plenty of sunrise and sunset views sitting out by the pool and the upper balcony. Oh, and Sue is a pleasure to work with(URL HIDDEN)

We had a great time, it was great for our family!

Everything about this listing was great. My only problem was the heating of the pool it was on my last night that that pool got warm even though the heater was in operation. It's only after pressing the aux 1 and 2 buttons to see if they were connected to anything that water then started to Enter the heater to be heated then transferred into he pool. Was so looking for to the pool. That's was the only disappointment about the trip cause we loved the images shown here that what made us select this product. She was nothing but helpful

The host canceled this reservation 18 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
