A lakeside sunset delight near Disney, Universal, Sea World, Busch, LegoLand

We are open after Milton and have full power. Here's the place to kick back, fish and recharge or to enjoy endless attractions Central Florida--Disney, Universal Studios, Sea World, Busch Gardens, LegoLand. My home is a renovated 2 bedroom 2.5 bath home with gorgeous sunsets on Lake Echo. Master bedroom has full bath with French doors leading to a screened deck with lounge chairs allowing you to watch the water skiers or pelicans diving for breakfast. "Kids" bedroom has Animal Kingdom theme with bunks. Large main room splits for two living and one dining area. Florida room has breakfast nook and queen sofa bed. (Kids might enjoy the air hockey game too). Both bedrooms and one living area have TV (one DVD) with Roku connections. Phone and wireless available. Kitchen has granite countertops, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, and gas stove. Full size washer and dryer is next to kitchen. But more....the views are awesome from the back of the home through 2 sliding doors and bay windows along with French doors all look west to the lake. There is a 16'x30' covered deck with lots of shaded deck seating or step down to the 3rd deck for sunning and a picnic table. Then proceed further to the pier where you can dock your own boat/jet ski, use my paddleboat, or fish. Of course, the lake offers swimming and a sand beach area. The paddle boat is possibly available with advanced notice and signing liability waiver. But it doesn't end as there is another lakeside picnic pavilion and gas grill. Across the street is the Lake Alfred/Winter Haven bike/jogging path of about 5 miles. Again, location is central to everything Florida--LegoLand, Disney, Universal Orlando, Sea World, Busch Gardens Tampa, Bok Tower, and so many pure Florida attractions.

This the place to relax, refresh or the never ending attractions. Come stay and enjoy.

Beautiful Sunsets!
This place was a wonderful place for our family to gather during wedding weekend for our daughter. There were several days that I stayed in the home by myself as I was planning out final details and before the rest of the family arrived. The house was clean and safe. There was wonderful patio spaces for dining and just hanging out. Bill was so great to work with and was responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay again!

Lovely Stay - Fantastic Outdoor Spaces
This was the cleanest place we have ever stayed in. We enjoyed the deck and the amazing view. The sunsets are spectacular. We were visiting the area to attend our sons baseball games at the Lake Myrtle Sports Complex. The location was very convenient to the venue and Winter Haven. We will be looking to stay here next year!

Relaxing Deck with views
House is very roomy and comfortable. We spent most of our time on the deck watching pelicans, ospreys and the occasional gator. Lake Alfred is convenient to many attractions and parks. The owner, Bill, was great about communicating with us. Highly recommend it.

Lovely home - Especially enjoyed the outside deck and fishing!
We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. Bill was extremely responsive to a few questions we had and took care to give us all the details about the property and local area we needed. The house was well appointed, very clean, a great spot for a family vacation for sure and close to local restaurants and attractions (we didn't go for the attractions though). My only "wish" if I had one would be a king sized bed! My husband and I are tall and appreciate the roominess of a larger bed. Other than that, it was a beautiful property and a great place to stay! My son, who visited one afternoon, enjoyed fishing from the dock and went around the lake with his friend on the paddleboat. One personal highlight of my visit to the surrounding area was a wildlife reserve called Circle B Bar Reserve. Definitely worth the 20 minute drive .. wonderful place to walk and see all kinds of birds, alligators, raccoons, armadillos, etc. etc. One of the best wildlife reserves I've been to. Lot's of shady areas to walk. Don't forget to stop and get a map and bring your camera!! Thank you Bill for the great stay!! Sandy & Kevin

Beautiful Lake Cottage
Bill has a lovely house and is an excellent host. Every evening my wife and I would sit on the deck having dinner and watching the sunset over Lake Echo. It was a gorgeous event each night. An example of Bills hosting was, when I mentioned the coffee maker leaked, he immediately ordered a new one. This home is a perfect couples getaway or for a family looking to enjoy Florida's attraction like Legoland, Disney World or Busch gardens.

Stunning sunsets.
Lovely house with all kinds of thoughtful touches throughout the house. Very responsive to questions. All-around had a great stay. We ate every breakfast and dinner on the deck. Beautiful views all day long, but the stunning sunsets stole the show. We enjoyed all 3 decks during our stay. We went to Peppa pig theme park and Legoland. About a 20 min drive. We also took a nice stroll on the rail trail right across the street. We have small kids and the only thing I wish we had brought with us was black out curtains for nap time. We made it work, but will bring those next time. We would absolutely stay here again next time we come to town.

Lakeside retreat
Very clean, very quiet with a great view of a lake. The location is very handy and off the busy highway. Enjoyed the air hockey table (we tied). Bill provided lots of information ahead of time and while we were there. The large deck had lots of options for seating and viewing. If in the area again would rent again.

Great Place
This was a great house right on the water. The outside decks are huge and we spent a lot of time just sitting out there. Kids loved all the games and the sandy area. We wanted to use the paddle boat but never actually got around to it. As the title says great place and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

This was a great place. The lake side of the house was all windows so you could enjoy the sunsets and all the birds on the lake. The house was clean and well kept, the owner would contact me when he would come over to do maintained the house and I was there when the hurricane came thru. Nice place and I would stay there again, the peace and quite was great also.

Amazing sunsets await...
Beautiful, private home with a much relaxing view of the water. Very quiet neighborhood, other than the sounds of the wildlife. :) We had the home booked for a week for a softball tournament, but unfortunately due to life happening we had to leave early and did not get to enjoy the peacefulness as much as I originally planned. Watching the storms and the sunsets from William's back porch was breathtaking. Would highly recommend and will look to stay again if the opportunity presents itself! William was very prompt in answering all of our needs and making his home very enjoyable for my daughter and I. Thanks again William!

Legoland trip with great view
We enjoyed staying at the property, was much better than in a hotel. We had all the conveniences of home while only being 20 minutes from Legoland. The bug zappers kept the bugs at bay at night and also the fans on the huge porch kept us cooled off during the hot afternoons. Plenty of room for the 6 of us and could’ve accommodated a couple more on the extra pull out couch. We arrived to find snacks on the table for the kids which they enjoyed each day. Never did find the ball for the fuzeball game but there was a vast variety of games to play and the kids loved playing in the Sandy beach area. Loved that the porch had gates on each end so kids couldn’t gain access to the water from the deck. Thank you for the hospitality and extra touches, very much appreciated.

Beautiful sunsets on Lake Echo
We loved watching the sunsets from this comfortable home with wonderful outdoor space for relaxing - a porch, a patio and a screened in porch. There were just 2 of us, but it's well suited for families as it has a primary bedroom with ensuite bath (although there is no door to this bathroom) plus a bedroom with bunk beds.. There is also a second full bathroom and a half bath. The decor in the living room was a bit dated/had a lot of furniture. The kitchen was not large but has been updated and is equipped for some cooking. There are lots of games in the house as well. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and Bill was very responsive.

Beautiful home with an amazing and peaceful view!
This house is absolutely beautiful. I fell in love with the tropical feel, being on the water and plenty of space to outside. During the day there is a nice cool breeze coming off of the water and the trees shake in the wind creating a nice calm and relaxing atmosphere. The kitchen is modern and very easy to cook full dinners on with a gas stove and a sliding door for easy access to the upper deck to serve food and drinks from which comes in real handy. There are so many places to sit and talk, play games or do activies both inside and outside. We spent a lot of time outside and around the outside grill which worked out great with a nice cool breeze coming off of the water. I cannot recommend this place enough other than to say we will be back again in the future!
