Stepping into this 1910 historic cracker house feels like stepping back in time — yet with all the comforts of today. Much of the original structure and walls remain, carrying over a century of stories within them. If walls could talk, they would share tales of the families and lives that have filled this space over generations. Guests often remark on the good vibes here, where friendly spirits seem to linger and the atmosphere feels both welcoming and serene. The home is set on a spacious corner lot, giving you privacy and room to spread out. There’s plenty of parking — even for oversized vehicles, motorhomes, or boats — so you can bring along your toys for Florida’s lakes and open roads. The quiet street and distance between neighbors make the property feel like its own little world, perfect for those who want to escape the noise of city life. Step outside onto the backyard deck, where mornings are best enjoyed with coffee in hand and evenings invite conversation under the stars. The fenced backyard makes it easy to relax knowing children or pets can safely roam. This home is proudly pet-friendly, welcoming your furry family members to join in your stay. Inside, you’ll discover the perfect mix of character and comfort. Original details remind you of the home’s history, while blackout drapes in the bedrooms ensure sunlight won’t disturb your rest. You’ll find each space filled with charm, warmth, and thoughtful touches designed to make you feel at home. When you’re ready to explore, the location couldn’t be better. Several parks are nearby, downtown Kissimmee is just minutes away with its shops, festivals, and restaurants, and Lake Tohopekaliga — with its marina, trails, and unforgettable sunsets — is only blocks away. The area also offers plenty of scenic bike trails and beautiful golf courses, perfect for active guests who want to enjoy Florida’s outdoors. And of course, Central Florida’s world-famous attractions are close by: Disney is about 30–40 minutes, Cocoa Beach and Melbourne an hour, and Tampa a bit further but ideal for a day trip. Whether you’re here for history, relaxation, or adventure, this home offers a unique experience that stands apart from modern rentals. It’s not just a place to stay — it’s a place to feel connected, to rest deeply, and to create stories of your own within its storied walls.

The cottage was a perfect place for my son and I to stay for his fishing tournament on the lake, which was just a few blocks away. It was clean, and exactly as described in pictures. The host was great and super friendly! She responded to all inquiries quickly, introduced herself to us when there, and accommodating to our needs. Would stay there again.
This house is wonderful clean cute very charming. Wonderful place to vacation and close to parks. Karen is a wealth of knowledge and easily to talk to! I would highly recommend visiting!

We really liked the “Purple House”. It was perfect for our family of 4, it was close to many dining options and about 30 minutes from the parks. Ms. Karen was very helpful and super nice. The house is a little on the older side, but has a lot of character. Thank you for letting us stay in your house.
Everything went well. Home was clean and easy to find Windows have curtains but no blinds so the home is a bit dark if you prefer privacy. Other than that minor issue this was a good place to stay.
We booked last minute and it was very easy. Karen was friendly and communication was great. Dogs were comfortable. Small yard was perfect for late night potty breaks.
Everything was good in this Nice Little House and we enjoyed the space during our stay. It was really nice to be able to move around compared to staying in a hotel. The private parking and yard was definitely a plus for us and we felt secure at this location too. A few minor improvements/up grades with the beds and furniture would be a plus and make it an excellent little house. We were overall satisfied with our stay and would visit this Nice Little House again.
Me and my buddy stayed for week fishing trip. Great little house. PERFECT 2 bedroom and 2 bathrooms.. why would you stay in a hotel. Close to Crabby restaurant with super food great shrimp. Karen the host of house was very friendly and helpful. We were late on our arrival and she called to make sure we were alright . Would book again. Cute house and very clean. Thank you for the welcome treats you left for us!
Cute house. Small but we knew that when we booked. Nice for a smaller place to have 2 bathrooms. And a fenced in yard for our dog. We would definitely stay here again. Owner was a pleasure to work with. Cleaned. Brand new memory foam toppers on bed. Made the bed very comfortable. House is in a neighborhood that is very quiet at night.
My stay here was over several weeks. The entire stay, the property owner was respectful, and easy to communicate with on the couple of occasions it was necessary. There is a nice sized smart TV where I could cast all of my favorite streaming apps and a couple of different comfortable recliners to enjoy time watching it. The house is cozy, which I liked, but the kitchen is spacious, which was a nice surprise. Laundry units were very efficient as well. I would recommend anyone looking for a nice cozy place to stay in St. Cloud to definitely give this place a try! Almost, forgot, it is super pet-friendly, if you have your own personal fur babies it’s truly a perfect place to stay.
The host was extremely helpful, courteous and kind. I wasn’t too impressed with the beef selection in the chain grocery’s around town, but the host keyed me in to a great farmers market right down the street. We got some great tritip and a big bag of the best beef bacon I ever consumed. The house is a cool older design, it was great. I would recommend and stay again.
We have stayed at the purple house quite a few times and the communication with property owner is excellent. We are able to openly make suggestions for improvement and many times those improvements have been made. If you are looking for great communication with a property owner, and a quaint little house...the purple house is your go-to stay.
Everything was great and met our needs for our 10 day visit. Our host was excellent and even upgraded some things since our last stay. The location is in a quiet neighborhood and conveniently located near the local stores and restaurants. We're looking forward to another visit when in the area! Thanks again Karen!
Good location for visiting with family in the area
We usually book by a hotel when visiting family in the St Cloud, FL area and this was a much easier option. Super close to out daughter’s house and pet friendly without smelling like pets have been here as I have terrible allergies.
