We had a wonderful 9 night stay! The home has been updated nicely with plenty of room for our family of 3. It's location was perfect! We moved our daughter into FSC, which was less than a 5 minute drive. It's close to the downtown area and grocery stores as well, but in a small neighborhood away from traffic. The host was very responsive with any questions and clear on communication. We would absolutely stay again.

The Blue House, Lakeland FL

The two bedroom one bath house on a shady street in the older part of Lakeland was ideal for us. The pictures on VRBO are all accurate. The kitchen is well-equipped with dish washer, Keurig Coffee Maker, toaster and an electric kettle. We would gladly revisit this property.

Spacious and comfortable

I was in town for work for a couple of weeks and appreciated having space and a kitchen instead of a hotel room for that time. The house was spacious and had everything I needed for my stay. The host was responsive. I would stay here again.

Amazing Find

Adorable house! VERY clean! Pictures don’t do it justice! It has everything you need. The owner is very quick to respond and is very helpful. The location is great. We walked around the lake every day. Everything we needed was in close proximity, too. I’ll definitely stay here again next time down.
