We couldn't have found a better place. This was our first time renting a house and it provided all that we expected after reading the reviews and more. The owner, Art, quickly replied to our questions by email prior to renting and was most helpful. Our daughters (18, 10) both enjoyed our stay here very much. It helped that we had plenty of space to spread out with the great floor plan, while at the same time having the right setting to come together for games at the lanai or livingroom/great room. Our family stayed here the weekend before Christmas and it was just great to see the beautiful Huntington Hills community's homes decorated for the season. It was a relaxing three days and we had all the comforts of home. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and everything was spotless. There were books and current magazines available. We enjoyed walking and riding our bikes (we brought with us) and while exploring, found beautiful Lake Lester with boat access available to residents and renters right on the property..absolutely beautiful and peaceful surrounded by wooded areas. The closets were well stocked with linen, towels and blankets and the kitchen, well, what can I say, it was better stocked than my own. Everything was close by, from Publix Supermarket to Lakeland Square Mall nearby which we went for some last minute Christmas gifts. The days passed too fast and had it not been that new guests were due to check in later that day, we would've asked for an extension. After we left, we thought that we had left a wallet in one of the dresser drawers (turned out we found it in our van some days later). Art went out of his way to inform us by email and phone more than once that his property manager and current guest were searching for it as well. He went beyond our expectations to always get back to us, even in the midst of the the busy holiday season and thousands of miles away. Thank you, Art. We definitely recommend staying in Art and Moira's beautiful home.

Our stay in this house was relaxing, comfortable, and most enjoyable. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Sitting outside enjoying the view or hanging inside we felt right at home. The owners were very quick to reply and answer any questions that that we had. We have already booked next years stay in this house. I have recommended and will continue to highly recommend this house for anyone who is traveling to Lakeland FL.

Our family travels a lot and stays in homes instead of hotels. This particular home exceeded all of out expectations. The location is perfect located in a private community, the morning breakfast time on the patio overlooking the lake and golf course was my favorite time. The neighborhood is peaceful. The owners are available to answer any of your questions. We have already secured this property for our next stay in Lakeland. This one is a keeper.
