Private Lakefront Retreat with Heated Pool, Dock & Kayaks Near Tampa

I have used Vrbo many times to bring my family to Florida. However, this trip was not expected or based on having fun. I was notified that a parent was found unresponsive and was in the CCU. I needed a place to bring my children in case that was their last chance to say goodbye. Not only was the host extremely responsive. Last-minute booking was instant. He was especially kind. Due to my circumstances, he granted me a late check-out. Two extra hours, which I desperately needed to finish with rehab arrangements. Not to mention getting 5 children ready for departure. What can I say about the house? It was extremely clean, bright, and inviting. The kitchen was well stocked. It had all you would need to plan and prepare any meal. The TV in the living room was huge, and the sectional was roomy. The perfect place to gather the family for a movie. The bedrooms were well-appointed. The two with bathrooms attached both had TVs. The extras with this rental abound. So surprising that this host thought of these little treats for the guests. I can tell you from experience that this is RARE. The pool was the perfect temp. Also, it was much deeper than usual rentals. There is a treasure chest filled with pool toys, goggles, etc. There are life vests in case you want to venture out into the lake. The views are magical, especially at sunset. Witnessing the many creatures in nature, while still being protected, was an added bonus. Don't hesitate to book if you find this home is available.

Relaxing lake view on the covered dock. Very quiet and tucked away from busy streets. The interior of the home is remodeled and very comfortable with everything we needed.

The house is so cozy,clean, spacious. Had the best experience. Will definitely be back as we live local.

The lake house near Westchase was an excellent property. There was plenty of space for a multigenerational stay with 6 adults. Check in was a breeze and communication with Ross was very timely. Beds were comfortable in all rooms. House was very nicely appointed. And lots of fun to be had between the pool, game tables and huge tv! There were just a few small and inexpensive things that needed repaired and would make the home truly perfect. The latch on screen door to the dock needs repaired, pool cues needed new tips (except one to share) and a few of the pans were really rusted and aged. Minor updates aside - don’t hesitate to book. This is truly a gem in the Tampa area. We’ll be back for sure!
