Better Than Listing!
Extremely clean. Interesting, modern property. Exceeded my expectations (and I am fussy). The lake is so serene and calming. Dwelling provided a constant view of the lake with tons of wildlife (ducks, turtles, fish, an array of interest birds). I loved watching the most beautiful blue heron come to the dock each evening (to fish!). If you need rest and relaxation, this is perfect. Yet, wonderfully close to downtown Winter Park, plus reasonably close to airport and all major theme parks.

Fabulous long weekend at the cutest VRBO!
The place is absolutely like pictured. We could not have been happier. Amy has a high level of communication, the area is very private, and so close to everything! We loved waking up looking at the lake. It was extremely peaceful to sit on the dock and watch the fish, turtles, ducks and other wildlife. We will definitely be back. This vrbo is A++++++++++

About the host

Hosted by Amy L Kingham

Host profile image
I am a Realtor and my husband, Mark, is a Licensed Contractor. We love art, architecture, travel, entertaining and renovation "projects". Mark is from New Zealand (thus the "Kiwi Cabana") and I grew up in Orlando. He bought the property more than 15 years ago. We spent 3 years renovating the main house and built The Kiwi Cabana in 2015. We have a special place in our hearts for this property, the Audubon Park Garden District, and the wonderful birds, ducks, and squirrels that live here. We hope you will too after staying in the Kiwi Cabana!

Why they chose this property

Beautiful and serene lakefront euro-style studio with canopy of live oaks and entertaining wildlife. Gorgeous sunsets from the patio or dock. Fire pit, BBQ Grills (2), modern and comfortable decor and finishes. Location can't be beat if you want to feel like you're far away from the hustle and bustle but have the convenience of being only minutes away from multiple activities, shopping, dining, and entertainment.

What makes this property unique

What a blessing to be able to enjoy the sun shimmering on the lake in the morning, watch the fascinating birdlife, and take in the gorgeous Florida sunsets every evening. This is a little piece of heaven and incredibly serene for being located only 15 minutes from Downtown Orlando. Lake Shannon is spring-fed and is one of the Top 10 cleanest lakes in Central Florida. The lake is on the smaller side so motorized vehicles are not allowed which ensures things are reliably quiet. The big, beautiful oak trees on the property provide a much-welcomed canopy of shade during warmer months of the year. And did I mention that there is an excellent view of rocket and shuttle launches at Cape Canaveral and Fourth of July Fireworks from the patio?!
