Perfect quaint and comfortable oasis for my family of four. The kids loved the pool and I loved the surprising number of wild birds all around the property. For this value, you’re not getting a Four Seasons, but you’re getting a fun, comfortable, clean space in a safe neighborhood that has lots of thoughtful touches and provides everything you need. Perfect if you’re not overly fussy and looking for a budget-friendly accommodation. The host also had excellent communication. The beds were also super comfortable.

“ A Birds Paradise “ Very relaxing, a great escape from hustle and bustle of everyday life. Everything is there to really relax. The beds were super cozy. Big TVs, two full bathrooms. The jacuzzi is warm and ready to use. The heated pool for that nightly swim. Fully stocked with all your essentials. Best, a private back yard like you’re on a Caribbean island. Very Covenant and close to grocery stores and the sponge docks to stroll and eat. We definitely will come back. Thanks Christian for being a great host and available for anything we needed!

What a peaceful spot. All the touches are so amazing. The kitchen is lacking for nothing, the back yard area is the best, we saw so much wild life. The pool is so private and sitting on the dock for sunset is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Nice Home!

Our stay was amazing! 5 of us (incl 1 teen) and we all had am amazing time. The pool was clean and refreshing, the home was clean and stated comfortably cool the entire time. The home is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. My only recommendation would be to put a TV in the 2nd bedroom. Other than that, perfect!

Great Location

Our family attended a college graduation in Tampa and this was the perfect location. Away from the large city traffic, but close enough to drive in if we needed. Lots of shops and food choices nearby. We especially loved the pool and it was great taking early morning walks in the neighborhood (which has sidewalks). Everything was as pictured. Would definitely stay here again.

Christian and his mom were wonderful and great about responding to any questions we had! The property is beautiful, the beds are comfy, the house gives you plenty of privacy in the back! The landscaping in the backyard is gorgeous and tropical! The dock was a bonus because my husband and brother were able to catch bass back there! All in all a wonderful little spot!

Just a lovely little gem. Roomy yet cozy. Clean, like I keep my home. Pool was wonderful. The backyard and water front are very nicely done. Very private. Sun porch is a great spot to look over the decks and seating and pool. Kitchen is very well equipped. We didn't need for any appliance or utensil. Outdoor kitchen was great. Plenty of paper products in kitchen and bath. Soaps. Towels, blankets, Etc. Laundry room is a bonus and very nice. Highly recommend this property. The owners are super sweet and very easy to work with. Price was fantastic. I couldn't rent a hotel room for that price and there certainly would not be privacy at a hotel! Thanks to the owners!

Peaceful and Luxurious Lakeside Vacation Spot

We have enjoyed our stay at the Lakeside Retreat immensely. It is a fantastic destination to relax and serves as a perfect basecamp for adventures in the beautiful surroundings. The house is very spacious, very clean, and beautifully furnished. It comes with all the conveniences you can think of: a well-equipped kitchen, a gorgeous screened patio, a beautiful pool, an outdoor kitchen and shower, and many more perks. The backyard is breathtaking, with amazing plants and many lovely details. The property is connected to a deck on the canal/lake, where we enjoyed many evenings watching birds and turtles, and savoring the sunsets. Christian, the owner, was super friendly and responsive. He was truly determined to ensure that we had an amazing experience. We're looking forward to our next stay at the Lakeside Retreat!

Summer Vacation

Our stay at the lakeside retreat was everlasting! The host was very welcoming & thorough with providing details for our stay beforehand. Our kids enjoyed the pool and outdoor lounge areas every single day we stayed. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and there was great convenience to the shopping markets. We also loved the paddle boat and since we brought our fishing rods we even caught a couple baby fish and released them back into the lake. We saw many turtles and other wildlife and enjoyed a nice morning walk around the neighborhood. The only suggestion we can make it adding a tv to the living room area and 2nd bedroom and also ensuring the other two tvs are constantly working. The guest bedroom also needs an updated mattress. We appreciate everything that was offered and would definitely recommend this property for families with children.
