About this property

Breathtaking Lakefront property, 2+ acres. Less than a mile from the bike trail.

Enjoy your stay in our 3 bedroom, 2 bath home on 2-1/3 shady acres, including 200 feet of Lake Tsala Apopka waterfront, in quaint, historic Floral City, Florida. If you're looking for a mild-weather, tranquil place to spend your winter months, then this is the place for you. The home is less than a mile from the Withlacoochee State Trail (46-mile paved bike path, 60 miles including the spurs), an easy ride through a quiet, residential neighborhood. You'd never know you were within an hour of all of Central Florida's major amenities, including Tampa, Orlando and the Gulf Coast, as you sip your morning coffee either in our cozy, fully-enclosed sun room, on the back patio, or on the dock. Sunrises on the lake are breathtaking. Watch hawks, sandhill cranes, cardinals, woodpeckers and many other birds right outside your window. Drop a line to catch one of Lake Tsala Apopka's many large mouth bass. Home includes central heat/air, washer/dryer, television with Netflix, super strong, dual-band wi-fi (2G and 5G) with extenders for outdoor use, double oven, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, fireplace, as well as an outside fire pit (firewood included), a large back porch, gas grill, newly renovated dock, well-maintained lawn, corn toss, bocce ball and many board games and puzzles. Bicycles and an electric golf cart available for your use. Boat rentals are right around the corner. Within 30 minutes of the manatees of Crystal River, Homosassa Springs State Park, Rainbow River, Weeki Wachee, Fort Cooper, Withlacoochee State Forest and so much more. Nearby beaches include Hernando Beach (45 minutes) and America's #1 Beach, St. Pete Beach (1.5 hours).

Pick up your groceries and you'll be ready for a wonderful, relaxing stay.

slice of heaven
Three weeks wasn't long enough! I can't say enough about how beautiful this property is. Surrounded by gorgeous live oak trees it literally takes your breath away. We caught multiple fish off the dock, saw gators just about everyday! The provided golf cart was a huge bonus to see the area also a bonus of many games for the whole family to play. Beautiful area, beautiful house and a wonderful family to rent from. Thank you for opening your home to us during this moving transition. We are so thankful we got to stay in your slice of heaven.

Great stay!
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful lakeside house in Floral City. Jim & Dawn were great to work with. We've stayed in a number of VRBOs & this one was far & away the best. There are just too many good things about this house to list them all!

Sunrise on the lake
We loved our stay here. The sunrises are spectacular and the location is quiet and peaceful. We used the rowboat and kayak and took a couple bike rides and also a lot of walks around the surrounding neighborhoods. The car shows in Inverness were also really nice. We love this part of Florida. It’s laid back and is a hidden gem. Looking forward to next year. Thank you, Jim and Dawn for making your home our home for the month of March. The time definitely went by too fast.

Beautiful lake house with lots to do!
We had such a great time at this property! My favorite was the bike ride with my mom, and game night. But we also rented a pontoon from a business that was right around the corner, played lots of corn hole and tennis, rode around on the golf cart, sat around the campfire, and more! The house was very clean, and well maintained, and the location was perfect! Would definitely recommend!
