About this property

Steps to Lake Hollingsworth! Dog-Friendly Retreat

Located on a tree-lined street just steps away from Lake Hollingsworth, you'll find this cozy and updated retreat! Enjoy the Sunshine State's soothing warmth: bike, hike, and run around the lake's shoreline while spotting a plethora of local wildlife. History and architecture lovers will adore Lakeland's collection of Frank Lloyd Wright homes.

-- THE PROPERTY --

Inside, the home's wood finishes, tasteful decorations, mid-century modern ambiance, and comfortable furnishings will greet you. Don your chef's hat and utilize the well-equipped kitchen's ample meal prep space and updated appliances. Or, kick back and unwind in the sunlit living room or family room - complete with a work desk. A restful night's slumber is sure to be curated with ease amongst each bedroom's high-quality linens.

On days that you don't want to leave the comfort of your stay, simply step outside the back door and discover your own personal paradise! The large yard offers the perfect space for the furry members of your family to stretch their legs, and for everyone to gather and enjoy each other's company on the sun-soaked lanai. Evenings here are paired well with barbecued meals prepared on the gas grill and marshmallows warmed over the firepit.

Additional interior perks include central air-conditioning, a private washer/dryer, and internet access.

Love this older home

Lots of cozy spots in this home - backyard is very private & quiet. Walk to the lake or quickly drive to lots of other lakes. Such a pleasant neighborhood.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 March 2026
"Thank you for staying with us! I'm so glad the backyard provided the quiet retreat you were looking for. The walk to the lake is definitely one of our favorite parts of the neighborhood, and I'm happy you got to explore the area. Hope to see you again soon!"

Nice stay in Lakeland area

We had a nice stay in this older but very clean home in a nice neighborhood. The communication was a little slow when we had questions while we were there but nothing too major. It was a nice stay and would stay again should we ever be in the area.

Beautiful historical area near one of the many lakes in Lakeland. A 3-mile walk around the lake surrounded by a college, country club, and estates.

House is in a great location and is clean and comfortable. However, there was no information about the property except how to get in. Particularly, there was no wifi passwords and all attempts to contact the property manager got no response. There was no toilet paper, the dishwasher was dirty and full, and all the outdoor garbage cans were packed. Evolve is listed at the property management company but they are virtual only and have no contact information. If you can't contact someone in person, don't rent this property

We're glad to hear you found the home clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The homeowner would like to address the following:- We’ve looked into the WiFi issue and found that over ten devices were connected during your visit, which may have caused connectivity problems.- We should note that your group brought three dogs, not one as initially indicated, which may have impacted the condition of the home during your stay.Thank you for letting us know about your visit.

Sorority reunion

It was fine. The house had no toilet paper in the master and no extra anywhere in the house. We reached out and was told to look in the bathroom closet which we had obviously done and looked everywhere else. Not a big deal, but something that vital should be there for guest.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 November 2024
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the lack of starter supplies in the home. At Vacasa, we provide a starter kit of supplies at check-in, which typically includes items such as toilet paper, paper towels, and dish soap. Once these items run out, guests are responsible for replenishing them as needed. We have noted this on our end to avoid future complaints. We do hope we will have another chance to host you.
