Great place! Beautiful little cottage. Perfect!

I am in love with Isabel's house , well maintained, decorated with beautiful details in each place, full kitchen, you can see the beautiful its window, a large patio with trees, very comfortable, really beautiful. Isabel very attentive and at our service always.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay, Isab

Alfred was very helpful and communicated with me at all times!

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.

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!

Alfred is great!! He was very helpful

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.

Great house, great hosts, very friendly and accommodating. Enjoyed the house, and the fishing on the lake very much. Very beautiful and relaxing.

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.

Nice,cozy, and affordable. Owner is wonder.

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.

Sally's place was just what we were looking for. We were 8 mins from the Lake Myrtle Baseball Complex for a baseball tournament and 10 mins away from shopping and restaurants.

The house was very clean, easily accessible to I-4. The yard was great for our puppy to run around. Communication with Sally was outstanding, she always gave a quick response. Sally really goes out of her way to make sure everyone is comfortable and seems to reassure you that she's only a phone call away if something is needed while staying here.

The house was nice and spacious. Sally made it very easy to check in and she was always available if I needed anything

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.

Sally's house was everything we expected and more. A great location for a family for a quiet place to relax. Sally was very accommodating. My family and I even locked ourselves out of the house around 10:30 on a Monday and sally arrived within minutes. An excellent location.

This home was very lovely, and Sally was very helpful and communication was never an issue. We had a wonderful stay.

We were in cherry casita with our 3 years old for a week. Cherry casita is itself a hidden gem. Our one week stay was like in heaven. Stephen and marry keep their place super clean. Since we have our three yrs old we needed somewhere we can cook and keep the food cold. We found perfect place we have always wanted. Their casita is relatively closer to all beaches and attractions. Our one week vacation absolutely worth it. We felt like we were in heaven! 100% recommend it.

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!

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

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.

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!

A cute and cozy little casita. The hosts provided everything needed to enjoy a short or extended stay away from home. Little details have not been overlooked, from a full kitchen to current dvds available for your enjoyment. The community was quiet and very well maintained. Would recommend to anyone and would definitely stay again!!

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

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.

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

Excellent stay for what we needed! Highly recommended if you have business in Auburndale. María is a great host and was very timely with everything. We will definitely stay there again if need be.

clean, comfortable, and everything you need.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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

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)

A very comfortable home for a family vacation.

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!

Everything Sue says it is. Great value with a good central location.

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!!

House was wonderful located and in good shape. Everything was working and process of booking was simple

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

Ms. Virginia made us feel welcome from the minute we walked in the door even though we arrived later than planned. The room was very nice and was more than we expected. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting central Florida.

Virginia and her husband Bill made us feel welcome the first time we stepped in the door. They told us to make ourselves at home and made us feel like part of the family. Our accommodations were as shown on the Airbnb website. We stayed in the Hideaway, which is the entire 3rd floor of the house. Three beds in all, satellite TV w/DVD player (and a huge collection of DVDs), nice bathroom, mini-fridge, good wifi. Linens and towels were laundered every few days. Virginia prepared us a tasty hot breakfast each morning that we didn't have to leave early to go someplace. The property itself is basically "in the country." There are various animals on-site, including exotic birds. We had two small dogs with us and when we planned to be gone for a while Virginia and Bill happily let them out for us. Bill and Virginia are top-shelf people who genuinely care about their guests. We would definitely recommend this B&B to our friends and anyone else who might be considering staying here.

This lady is awesome and her place is the best !

Virginia and Bill are such a nice couple. We booked the stay at the last minute when Huricane Matthew came. Virginia replied immediately and everything is much better than expected. The room is so neat and well decorated, and good enough for our 6 people. Virginia even offer an extra room at the lower floor for one of us who has some trouble to climb steps, without charge more. The breakfast was so delicious. She prepared a delicious cake that the 2 girls loved so much. She also had hot cofee ready and even all kinds of teas you can pick. She even prepared lots of more food for lunch, too. Thank you so much, Virginia and Bill. We will come back for fishing someday!

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...

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!

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...

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

If all airbnb hosts were like Virginia, hotels would be out of business! Everything about our short stay was enjoyable - from walking into her impeccably decorated, cleanest house I've ever been in and being greeted by her sweet dogs, to coffee and muffins the morning we woke up. Virginia provided all the touches of hospitality and then some. Extremely easy check in/check out - loved the privacy of a bedroom key, and the soap she left out was much appreciated as I forgot mine! Even had cute little chocolates and plenty of towels waiting on the bed. A very short drive to Sun n Fun - we are hoping to make this a yearly stay, only next time a little longer!

I loved Virginia's place. The room was so spacious and the bed slept great. I loved crawling up in the big comfy chair at night and watching Netflix. Virginia was so accommodating and did everything possible to make sure I needed everything. I even had breakfast every morning! I would recommend this place to anyone.

Virginia and her family have been great! My husband came to Lakeland while traveling for a job. The hotel he was put in was TERRIBLE, but fortunately I found this room for him and he LOVED it. He felt very comfortable and felt like it was home. I came down a few days later and we both love it and plan to stay until his job is done. It is very clean and quiet. Just right outside of town but still a short drive. Virginia and her husband even moved a TV in for us. Very nice and welcoming people. I highly recommend staying here!!

The rest of my husband's and my stay here was excellent. We felt as if we were staying with family. If we have to stay anywhere here in Lakeland again, this will be our first pick!

Virginia and her husband were so sweet! I had to book a place to stay last minute and they were very flexible. Definitely a great place to stay in the Lakeland area.

The experience of staying at Virginias home was wondeful, great host, wonderful warm enviroment. Recommend this home.

Highly recommend a stay at Virginia's. Super peaceful and comfortable. I had the best night of sleep I've had in many months. They were gracious with my last minute booking. Very glad to have met them. Thanks!

Just wow. The house, the room, the host, the breakfast, everything just wow. This was our first Airbnb and it was beyond words. Definitely set the bar high for other bnbs, and definitely will be back. 10/10 would recommend.

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

I enjoyed staying here in Martha's home. It was very comfortable and quiet. She is a great host!

Martha (Ann) and Steve are fantastic host. Martha is exceptional. She is so prompt to text messaging. A person who is rich in kindness. Accommodating my last minute booking. Upon arrival in their home. Both provided my husband and I, a warm welcome; appropriate orientation of the home. Private entry, clean, luxurious space, 3 rooms: good size master bedroom, bathroom, living room, full kitchen, third room (have TV, sofa/pull out bed). Oh! There's a screened in saltwater pool. Nice secluded home, in a safe community. This home is very comfortable. My husband and I loved it. Would recommend this home to everyone.

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 had a truly lovely stay at Martha's. We were longer term guests and so were especially grateful. As hosts, Martha and Steve are laid back, friendly, and very accomdating. The place is more luxurious than what the photos show. Beautifully decorated and impeccably clean, yet cozy and felt like a home. The outside area is quite special, with beautiful landscaping and a screened in pool. We loved our stay and highly recommend this airbnb. Thank you for opening your home to us, Steve and Martha!

Nice secluded home in very nice neighborhood, just fantastic hosts, private entrance, ultra clean, very safe, quiet & private, fantastic bed, full kitchen, 3-TV's, wired internet has ultra fast speed, great for business! Had a great stay, would recommend to everyone!

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.

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

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.

This lakehouse offered much-much more then expected! Joe's hospitality and availability was tailored specifically for our needs and he happily accommodated - Joe's primary concern was sincerely focused on guest satisfaction. House was spacious. Views were incredible. The kids loved bouncing between the spacious house, to the pool, and to the beach/sandy area of the lake. Husband even caught some whoppers-fishing off the lake early in the morning! No disappointments at all - looking forward to future trips at the Lake house!!! Thanks again Joe! Will keep in touch!

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.

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 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.

This lake house was the perfect setting for our family vacation. Kids (3 & 6) had a blast on the sandy edge of the lake and us parents loved the quiet, picturesque lanai & backyard for relaxing. Joe was a fantastic host--very concerned with ensuring we had positive experiences--and has stocked his property to provide a home-like experience. Yay for WiFi, life jackets, grills, and lots of plates! We are accustomed to our SleepNumber mattress at home, but still slept comfortably in the master bedroom. There were only four of us at the house, but a larger group would have plenty of room there (with three full bathrooms). Around town, my husband pointed out how pleasant and helpful the people were in the Auburndale Walmart (a short drive away). Legoland was an easy 25 minute drive away. If I am in the area, I would stay here again. Thanks, Joe!

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.

The house is nicely maintained and near lake Ariana and it's boat ramp, lake myrtle sports complex, Lego Land and other things. There were cattle grazing in the pasture behind the house too We attended a basket ball tournament at Auburndale community center and Tenoric high school. Will stay there again next year for the tournament. Eric is very easy to work with and is very attentive.

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

Awesome home. My new florida spot. Definitely enjoyed everything about Eric home.

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!

Nice house in a quite neighborhood. It's great having Eric's parents right around the corner in case you need anything - really nice people.

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.

Great house!

Great place loved it

Great hostess! Abolutly wonderful experience

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.

Great hostess! Abolutly wonderful experience

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.

Janell's place was clean, private, and comfortable. The inside was beautiful and the balcony had a view of the pond and beautiful sunsets. We had a great time.

I enjoyed ro location. So if u are looking for quiet and privacy, this location is great. In addition, the place was beautiful.

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.
