This house is the nicest vacation rental in Lakeland's historic district! (I go to Lakeland regularly) It has an open floor plan with many floor to ceiling windows. The 36' pool is possible for laps and is beautifully lit at night. There are large side yards with massive ancient live oak trees. Best of all was the convenient carport, offering coverage from tree debris and rain. Mattresses were suportive and comfortable. The spacious kitchen & dining areas were well equipped. It is just a quick walk to gorgeous Lake Hollingsworth. I loved the very muted but still audible train whistles-very romantic! I would definitely stay here again, if possible!

This property is fascinating. It’s definitely a window into life in the 50’s. Every detail is here. Lakeland area is like old Florida. There is a Frank Lloyd Wright museum and a number of FLW buildings on the campus of FSU you can tour.Also, The Barnett museum of Art is incredible and free.We very much enjoyed the property’s spaciousness.The property owner was available for all of our needs. We are looking forward to returning next year.
