Lake Retreat in Downtown Sebring 2/1 house with lake access on a secluded street

Very nice house and neighbor

Great neighborhood. All the neighbors were nice. Owner answered questions promptly. I wish we could have stayed longer.

This VRBO was excellent. All the conveniences anyone would need.

Stayed in January of 2020. Property was very clean and well stocked for our stay which was much appreciated. When we arrived, the key was not in the lock box as was stated in the arrival instructions so we had to go to her house to get it. The neighborhood was nice, however there were caged dogs across the street who barked at anything that moved morning, noon and night. Be careful of the pictures online. They make it look like you have a pool and a hot tub in your backyard. No, they are in HER backyard. In order to use them, you must go to HER house. We felt extremely uncomfortable doing that. We felt that would be awkward swimming in her pool while she and her family are in or around the house . That's not what we thought we were getting, based on the pictures. After seeing the set up, we looked back at the write up and they do say you have "access to" a pool and hot tub. They do NOT say, "but you have to walk over to our house to use them". We were very disappointed in that for sure! The lake is beautiful! But again, you have to walk down the street and into her yard to access it. It is NOT in your backyard. There is definitely not a private place to sit by the lake and enjoy the sun. We felt awkward using her dock and would have felt the same sitting in her yard to sunbath. The backyard of the rental is full of trees and there is no patio or anything back there to sit. We ended up sitting in the driveway. Also, know that the house has a three car garage attached to it. You will use the car port on the opposite side. They use this garage for themselves and EACH morning at approximately 6:45. we were awakened by the garage door going up and the truck rumbling out. If you don't mind things like dogs barking, walking into someone else's personal home area to get to a pool, hot tub or lake and garage doors going up early in the morning, then this is the place for you. Again, the house was beautiful and very clean. Is it what you thought it would be, based on the pictures? You can decide.
